Not only has the direction changed, but the entire character of the ERLC has changed as well. Firm, convictional truth spoken with clarity and a distinctly Christian accent. Thank God for the leadership of Russell Moore x.com/pbethancourt/s…

Crossroads’ commitment to the abused and neglected children of our city is the heart of God, for Jesus said whoever receives one such child in my name receives me (Mark 9:37). x.com/crossroadsnola…

Delighted to spend the evening with Noel Castellanos at Castle Rock/Urban Impact and discuss the heart of God in Christ.

Humility and Hope: My Prayer as President of the Southern Baptist Convention buff.ly/2sSTdxg

In this season of change and stepping into the future, I am delighted that our faith family has overwhelmingly affirmed the ERLC, that the IMB has a grand vision, a brilliant strategy, and superb leadership, and that New Orleans’ New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary is led by its energized @nobtspres.

First New Orleans continues to hold high the cross of Christ, with Taylor Rutland rightly preaching the word of God and administering the Lord’s table today.

NOBA is pleased to host New Orleans Mayor Latoya Cantrell, Archbishop Gregory Aymond, the heads of Homeland Security and FEMA, and community leaders as we discuss disaster preparedness and resources.

What a double blessing today: Dr. Jeff Iorg preached on Christian leadership from 1 Corinthians 4:1-5, and Edgewater celebrated the 10-year pastorate of Chad Gilbert, a most faithful servant of Christ and steward of the gospel, who issued a serious call to a life of worship.

“You are responsible for your wake,” Leroy Fountain says, as he preaches about Peter’s shadow falling on the lame in Acts 5, and reminds us that our influence begins with what we do and involves what we say. We are responsible for our wake. What sort of shadow am I casting?

What joy to my thankful heart to participate in worship at Celebration Church today!

Tonight I heard one of the most powerfully motivating messages I’ve ever heard from @nobtspres, Dr. Chuck Kelley at our NOBA meeting. It was deeply moving and I needed to hear it. What a blessing.

The work of Jack Hunter and NOBA as well as the leadership of the New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary prison programs cannot go without mention. Grateful for the men and women who serve so faithfully!

“Not the child I wanted.” There, in a single phrase, is the moral dereliction at the center of Roe v. Wade Derangement Syndrome...” x.com/firstthingsmag…

Exhilarated about preaching for the next 6 hours...but what I’m more thrilled about is 1000s of people in 60+ countries converging tonight on prayer #ForMalaysia. Join us in praying, & follow the fruit of your prayers here: radical.net/sc18 #secretchurch18

Praying for the 9th Ward, where a barrage of gun fire erupted this morning leaving five shot at St. Claude and Piety near the Baptist Community Health clinic.

Blessed to share in the Homecoming Service of Rev. Dick Randels today at St. Charles Ave. Baptist Church officiated by Pastor Elizabeth Lott, Pastor Fred Luter, the friend of all pastors in New Orleans, and The Zion Harmonizers.

The Apostle Paul’s exhortation that we not “shrink from declaring the whole counsel of God” was the basis of Greg Wilton’s message today New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary. This dear missionary, pastor and friend reminded us that Christ alone is worthy of our faithfulness to this high calling.

The leadership of Timothy George at Beeson Divinity School is historic, groundbreaking, and thoroughly Christlike. His legacy will endure for innumerable generations. x.com/beesondivinity…

Dr. George is “a Trinitarian Christian who by the grace of God belongs to the whole company of the redeemed through the ages,” & a Baptist who values retrieval for the sake of renewal, humility in the presence of the holy, & particularity in the service of unity. Soli Deo gloria! x.com/beesondivinity…
