Southern Baptist are experiencing an unbiblical makeover that, ironically, is being orchestrated by some of its very own leaders. These articles seek to inform and warn rank-and-file Southern Baptists. Be informed. Inform others. Demand accountability.
Concern #1 — J. D. Greear and His Perspective on Homosexuality
Six Ways J. D. Greear Goes Wrong in His Recent Blogpost on the Church’s Discussion About Homosexuality
Concern #2 — SBC Leaders and the Broadening of What It Means to Be Pro-Life
A Course Change that Always Will Lead to Disaster, Part 2
May 31, 2019
Don’t be misled by what numerous leaders within evangelical circles are trying to do with regard to the issue of abortion. You can’t be pro-life and support abortion, or support those who support and promote abortion or infanticide.
Concern #3 — Resolution 9 on Critical Race Theory and Intersectionality
Two Underlying Things About Resolution 9 that Are Affronts to Scripture, Despite the Resolution’s Declarations to the Contrary
Resolution 9 at the 2019 meeting of the Southern Baptist Convention in Birmingham, Alabama authorizes the use of critical race theory and intersectionality (two social justice ideologies) as long as they are used under the authority of Scripture. Here’s the rub. Critical race theory and intersectionality contradict Scripture. Inherently, the resolution itself contradicts Scripture!
Concern #4 — Efforts Among SBC Leaders, Including Russell Moore, to Divide the Church Over the Issue of Race, All Under the Noble-Sounding Banner of Social Justice
The Hypocrisy of the Left, Part 2
High Sounding, Emotional Rhetoric that Lacks Sufficient Biblical Grounding
Groundwork for Resolution 9 has been underway for some time in the offices of the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission, which is led by Dr. Russell Moore. This article examines the social justice movement within the Southern Baptist Convention, especially as it relates to Dr. Moore’s leadership.
Concern #5 — Covert, but Undeniable Efforts Among SBC Leaders, Including J. D. Greear, to Make Southern Baptists Feel OK About Supporting Democrats, Even as the Democrats Have Increasingly Distanced Themselves from God and Policies Aligning with Biblical Truth. The Democrats Even Have Supported Infanticide.
Elusive Neutrality: The Myth of Avoiding Being Perceived as Political
In what is, in part, an apparent effort to be perceived as politically neutral, Pastor J. D. Greear and other evangelical leaders are distancing themselves and their ministries, including the SBC, from what they see as a connection to the Republican Party. The Democrat Party, however, stands for abortion through all nine months of pregnancy, and Democrats are repeatedly refusing to make infanticide illegal. Do these leaders really want to send the message that it’s OK for Christians to support the Democrats? They haven’t denied it. Still, “No political party or candidate that supports infanticide (or in my view, abortion, for that matter) is deserving of any Christian’s support or vote—no matter how much “good” might be perceived, advocated, or even accomplished in other areas of public policy.”
The social justice movement is antithetical to Christianity.
