Comments on: Resolution Unity http://sbctoday.com/2008/06/11/resolution-unity/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=resolution-unity A forum for Baptists to dialogue about how best to fulfill God’s calling in our lives. Sat, 11 Feb 2012 06:33:45 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.3 By: Scott Gordon http://sbctoday.com/2008/06/11/resolution-unity/#comment-5143 Scott Gordon Fri, 13 Jun 2008 02:14:25 +0000 http://sbctoday.com/?p=221#comment-5143 I am certainly glad to see that godly men can come together and be a strengthening force within our convention. We need to make our collective voice as Southern Baptists heard...for the sake of our churches...for the sake of the challenge of our convictions to other Christian brothers and sisters...and for the sake of taking an unmistakable, unshakable stand for living out the Word of God! SOLA GRATIA! I am certainly glad to see that godly men can come together and be a strengthening force within our convention.

It is good to know whether or not my current thinking is popular and in line with what my peers believe. However, that knowledge often means little to the church. The pastor's view vs. their view, if it comes down to that, indicates a much larger problem in the church, doesn't it? A wise pastor will not reflect his view or the church's view, but will focus the church on God's view. We can't lose sight of that. IR and Ben,

However, I agree with irreverend fox that this can be a useful tool for pastors to demonstrate that their position, while forceful, is also popular. I hope the resolution is used wisely and well.

I am truly happy to read this. 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 point "Calvinists" can work together for the benefit of the SBC and this proves it, praise God! brother Steve,

What, if any, long-term impact do you guys see this making in SBC churches? Since these are non-binding, what's the next step?

I was glad that Dr. Yarnell's language concerning some Baptist (dare I say it) identity added. And after all the talk about repentence in both the Pastor's conference and convention, it was only fitting that such wording was added. It was exciting to see this come together in that session.

How grateful we are for men such as Drs. Ascol, Barber and Yarnell and many others who prayed and labored for this statment from our convention. Now may we take the resolution to heart. Its one thing to vote at the convention and another thing to see it implemented in the church. Its a great step in the right diretion.
