Members John81 Posted June 16, 2016 Members Share Posted June 16, 2016 The main problem here is, like so many other churches, the SBC is losing sight of the main mission of churches as presented in Scripture. Churches are to build up the believers so they can rightly live for Christ and spread the Gospel, make disciples. If churches were doing what they are called to do, these other matters would be covered by right Christian living. A Christian, rooted and grounded in the Word, living his life for Christ, will love others, have compassion, pray for others, help those they can, share the Gospel with all. No need for establishing committees and special groups to focus upon a dozen separate political/cultural issues. So-called conservative Christians have been active in politics, giving a great deal of focus, time, money and attention to such, for many decades now. Is the country today more or less Christian? Looking at the biblical model, and those who followed the biblical model, we see entire towns transformed by the saving power of Christ, entire regions and nations transformed. Sadly, many Christians and churches have lost sight of this and dive into the political and social activism arena believing their seen and felt efforts in this is more productive than an hour in fervent prayer, witnessing in the park, sharing the Gospel with neighbors, being involved in mission either directly or indirectly.

Members swordbearer Posted April 9, 2017 Members Share Posted April 9, 2017 If they are ecumenical, you may've changed my mind about them. It may be best to remain independent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
