Within the last several days, some 'Big Names' from within the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) have posted some insights and thoughts regarding the Convention and the Great Commission Resurgence (GCR) Task Force.
Most recently, the President of the SBC, Johnny Hunt, posted an article here.
On Friday, the President of Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, Danny Akin, posted an article here.
Earlier last week, the President of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Al Mohler, posted an article here.
I am grateful to God that the 'Big Names' in our Convention are both passionate and committed to helping us chart a course for fulfiing the Great Commission.
From Johnny Hunt, SBC President:
"We have known great days in our Southern Baptist Convention, but it is more than just mere words when I say, “our best is yet to be.” It has been said, 'God rarely requires what is easily released.' I feel Southern Baptists have been in somewhat of a comfort zone. Now many are listening and watching to see just how serious we are about the unreached, unengaged, and the under-served of this nation and the nations of the world. I pledge with all of the loyalty of my heart to challenge every pastor that will listen to do their best in supporting our Cooperative Program, believing that it will cause the entire convention to rise, even in this economy, to give their greatest gifts ever. All of us must do more, and as we do, we will have greater resources to pierce the darkness for the express purpose that God may be glorified, His kingdom may be enlarged, and the church will be edified."
