Appreciate this important statement from SBC president J. D. Greear (3 parts)
Southern Baptists unwaveringly affirm God’s complementary design for gender in the church. As the #BFM2000 states, “While both men and women are gifted for service in the church, the office of pastor is limited to men as qualified by Scripture.” While... 1/3

The reports of the conditions for migrant children at the border should shock all of our consciences. Those created in the image of God should be treated with dignity and compassion, especially those seeking refuge from violence back home. We can do better than this.
Replying to @AP
Government moves most of the children out of a Texas Border Patrol station after AP report that more than 300 children were held there in perilous conditions. Thirty children remain at the facility. apne.ws/CYt0BG4

The good news: This is a problem local churches can solve. One of the first steps is to mobilize college students. That's what @NAMB_SBC's "Go2" is all about. Give us 2 years and we'll change the world! namb.net/stories_of_mission/…
🚨 Both the @NAMB_SBC and @IMB_SBC annual reports for #SBC19 say they have the capacity to send more church planters and missionaries, but not enough qualified candidates to fill the pipeline.

We must be intentional about reaching college campuses and planting collegiate churches. There are over 27 million college students in North America ⁦⁦@sendnetwork⁩

Today, the Old Testament is demoted and even derided by professing Christians. Pastor, in this sad age, I encourage you to preach the OT boldly in 2019. Preach it as Scripture. Preach it as divine truth. Preach it as foretelling the Messiah. Preach it for the glory of God.

When @AT8 officially launched @thewellflorence in spring 2016, they started with 10 people in a living room. By fall of 2016, 40 people were gathering. In fall of 2017, 70 people. Now they average 140 weekly. #FlorenceFactsFromFrye

How do you think @pastorjohnhbc responded to @AT8 when Tate first brought up the idea of @hbcflorence doing collegiate #churchplanting? This text exchange says it all... #FlorenceFactsFromFrye

Whatever needs to be done legislatively and judicially we must stop immigrant families from being ripped apart. This is a moral and spiritual issue for followers of #Jesus. Secure the borders-yes. Immigrate legally-yes. But we are better than this.

“If we plant churches without evangelism, then all we are doing is attracting bored Christians through better marketing. If we do missions without evangelism, then we’re just putting Christians on airplanes so they can be disobedient somewhere else.” @jdgreear #sbc18

This is eye-opening. As the culture becomes increasingly post-Christian, we cannot sacrifice our zeal for evangelism and disciple-making. As individual believers, the need grows daily for our mission to be magnified and authentically lived out. xitter.cf/nobtspres/status/10025…
When will we focus our attention on the state of our churches? In 1950 the SBC had 27,788 churches, 7,079,889 members, & 376,085 baptisms. Today: 47,544 churches, 15,005,638 members, & 254,122 baptisms.Baptism ratio then 1 per 19 members; now 1 per 59 members. #Fuelthefire

College students are leading all over the place. They lead in student government, in education, in fraternities and sororities, and in the marketplace. Why won’t we give them leadership in the church? @nicburleson @timberridge #txroundup18

Movements almost always start among the young or the those with little. Movements begin best on the fringe.
