Support the Great Commission Resurgence Document for the Southern Baptist Convention

Yesterday I talked with you about the need for change in the Southern Baptist Convention. While I talked through this document last week with our Southern Baptist Convention President, Johnny Hunt, and a few other leaders, I did not know its release would be this week. Interestingly, it was the same day I blogged about the need for change. Obviously, I am hopeful that God is moving among us.

There is a major desire among many, and I believe most Southern Baptists, that our denomination be structured more suitably for our times. Why is this important? It always comes down to one reality: We must rally around the Great Commission of Jesus Christ. Now is the time for all Southern Baptists to carry the burden and work TOGETHER to bring the needed changes so we can move our ministries towards the carrying out of the Great Commission.

I want to urge you to read this document that is found at www.greatcommissionresurgence.com, and as you work through it and feel led of God, support it with your signature. Yes, we are just in the beginning stages, and perhaps revisions will come as we continue to work through it, but whether you are a layperson, a minister, or a student, you are a Southern Baptist if you are a member of one of our churches. Together we can do more to take the gospel to the world.

Read and be encouraged
