Rankin Hits One 'Out of the Ballpark' - PLEASE READ


Dr. Rankin has done it again and this time, in my opinion, says everything that needs to be said and, I pray, grips Southern Baptists (all of us!) to repent.


I urge you to read the entire thing here.


The bottom line (I believe) for Rankin in this article is this (from Rankin):


"Could not the remaining 99 percent of our church members support the 1 percent who go as missionaries? What is the problem? It is a matter of disproportionate use of resources. We have determined we will do other things with our money than reach a lost world—comfortable spacious buildings and programs that serve the redeemed. We choose to keep most of the money at home while providing a token of resources to reach the rest of the world." (emphasis mine)
