Tom Parker replied to my post " Ed, I'm betting Sandy will not be up for Stephen's challenge. I believe if the truth was known there are many "moderates" siting in SBC churches this morning. For whatever reasons they have not left the SBC yet.

The SBC has more problems than they can ever imagine."

Ed: Tom, I will quite surprised if Sandy, take up that challenge but also disappointed. I would like to see us have some real discussion rather than what has to often been in my opinion, ill founded slap-downs.

And when you say "The SBC has more problems than they can ever imagine." I am not so sure, they have pretty good imaginations.

I wish I could be in a Sunday School class of a SBC church this morning if and when Moore's purported apology comes up.

But alas I am not even in our own SS as the time stamp may show. Maybe I spent too much time in the heat the last couple days. Today, I an staying in and resting up for the surgery on my hand scheduled for Wednesday. I hope they moved our worship service to the Fellowship hall which has AC.

Ed I bet most SS classes in SBC churches will hear nothing about the apology. I think that is one of the reasons the takeover worked. The average SBC church never seemed to be that involved in national denominational politics other than the few who attended as Messengers. The smaller churches I had connection with often only the pastor and maybe the pastor's spouse attended. So whatever the pastor reported was all you got.

I'm not avoiding them per se but I've not been in a Baptist church in over three years, SS or otherwise. When you work elsewhere on Sundays you don't get many days to visit other churches. When I do I usually go to the TEC down the street because I know I'll get communion no matter what Sunday I visit on.

Good points Ed. And as you say, student pastors are well aware of what is going on the denomination.

Sandy:

You have had several days to come up with examples and I do not see where you have even posted one.

I have driven old, beatup pickups for years. David drives luxury trucks. Mine would even shame a redneck.

William. Preacher I heard yesterday had a good closing. Said Dallas Willard's Mother dies when he was two, and his father later told him her dying words were: "Make sure the children never lose sight of eternity!"
