I love seeing old friends at the annual meeting! I crossed a busy street leaving the convention center and did the southern hand wave to the car at the crosswalk to confirm it was good me and my family cross the street. *looks in car window* It’s David Closson!

The best part of the Annual Meeting is always IMB’s Sending Celebration. Several of our newly sent missionaries spoke to how God used their youth pastors and short-term trips to call them to the nations. As my church’s youth and missions pastor, may it be so for us, Lord!

It’s interesting fundamentalism is berated for why Baptists were “reeling” in the 1920s but not modernism.

The SBC just overwhelmingly voted to approve a historic resolution that calls for the overturning of Obergefell v. Hodges! It is the first one in the history of the SBC!

“The ERLC was no help for me as a pastor on Capitol Hill in the 90s.” - Mark Dever #SBC2025

This is last minute but is anyone free to hang out/ get breakfast at 7:00am? I’m dropping my wife off at that time for the SEBTS women’s breakfast and looking to fill the time till business starts!

From the AP: Southern Baptists target sports betting, same-sex marriage, and ‘willful childlessness” I love the SBC and more of this, please! apnews.com/article/southe…

Mohler added, “The ERLC has always been a problem child.”

If the ERLC had put half as much effort into actually serving Southern Baptist interests in a unifying way as they have in campaigning to save Brent Leatherwood’s job, they wouldn’t be in this position. Vote YES to abolish this year. #SBC25 centerforbaptistleadership.org/how-can-we-sav…

Overheard a 23 year old Southern student at lunch “I just feel like the ERLC is taking credit for things they haven’t done.” This is 110% true.

When I was a youth at summer camp, I was late to a youth group meeting because I couldn’t find the meeting space on a campus. My room was raided in the middle of night by senior high students using their camp T-shirts as turbans. They were self-named the Christian Taliban.

When any institution becomes beholden to satiating the legal class, mission drift and liberalism are inevitable. #SBC2025

It was a moral and parliamentary mistake to allow Jeff Iorg to poison the well from the platform as the first speaker against the Law Amendment. Wrong on every level.

We need a term like Disney adults for SBC messengers who show up to get all the swag and go see all the attractions in the city but fail to actually participate & vote in the meetings.

I heard Dean Inserra was staying in Dallas, and when I saw this sign this morning on my way out, it all made sense.

I’m grateful for the invitation to talk to the The Alabama Baptist about missions at FBC Selma. Even more so, I’m grateful for the privilege to help lead a congregation that is already passionate about the Great Commission along with Timothy Mathis. thealabamabaptist.org/fbc-selma-revi…

Under no circumstances should the United States or any Western country should come to arms for Israel.

If you were wondering, yes, the church of one of these speakers is SBC. They can seat messengers just like your church, and probably did earlier this week.

All the Neo-cons impugning Tucker Carlson forget he was right about Iraq not having WMDs and the invasion not being justified, then, too.
