A Statement from R. Albert Mohler, Jr. on Doctrinal Clarity Before the 2024 Annual Meeting of the Southern Baptist Convention.
According to IMB/@DrPaulChitwood, 173,451 people will die lost today. For 2023, 178,177 new believers expressed faith in Jesus.
Nearly as many people die lost each day as are saved in a year through our SBC cooperative efforts.
Pray and go.

“The supremacy of Jesus was firmly established before creation, was exhibited during His incarnation, reigns now over His church, and will be eternally established upon His return.”

The SBC, like every other, is an imperfect denomination with imperfect people.
But here are three things to like about the SBC-
1) We have a sound doctrinal guide. The Baptist Faith and Message points us to reliance on God’s perfect word.
When Scripture tells us that even the hairs on our heads are all numbered & that all things work together for our good, we know that there is no such thing as chance or fate but that God works all things according to the counsel of his will.” -Bavinck-
“Faith is living in light of what God has said, resting in what He has done, and entrusting the future to His care.”
-@PaulTripp , New Morning Mercies.

We don’t need another resolution at the #SBC. We need repentance. The only resolution we need is a resolve to repent and get clean before God.

When I understand that everything happening to me is to make me more Christlike, it resolves a great deal of anxiety.

“Noah was a righteous man, blameless among his contemporaries; Noah walked with God...He did everything that God had commanded him.” -Genesis 6:9b, 22-
Lord, may your people be righteous, faithful, & obedient like Noah, even when it’s hard & seems absurd.

Politics is not the way, mainstream media/news is not the truth, & social media is not the life. JESUS is. Pursue Him through consistent Bible study & prayer. Evaluate the time you spend consuming the gunk in the world vs consuming the Word & talking to your Lord.

Read this but 1. Take off your political glasses and put on your biblical ones. 2. Don’t make the political personal. 3. Let each one be fully persuaded in their own mind. 4. You are only accountable for your vote. 5. Agree or disagree vote! 6. Pray! desiringgod.org/articles/pol…
