I have known ⁦@pastordmack⁩ since we both started seminary together, started our churches together & I love him deeply & support him - but it’s not just him I support but every African American pastor & church in the SBC - U cannot deny what he wrote dwightmckissic.wordpress.com/2020/12/13/fro…
I honestly do not know enough about CRT to critique but Res9 makes clear that Scripture trumps it - this it is NOT worth all of this - as the convention started because of slavery we only validate the critique of a watching lost word that we are racist - what does that do to us
What does it do to the Gospel we preach? Acts 6 they went overboard to accommodate a group that was offended because of an ethnic difference
There are excellent people in leadership roles of the SBC, but as a whole the SBC is running afraid of some old white men & a few young ones wanting to inherit the farm
I ask you to forgive us @pastordmack - this is wrong & it has gone too far - you are & have been my friend & I love you deeply - the way you have been treated & your voice marginalized is wrong
I look at our polarized country & this is a perfect example of why the SBC is loosing ground & has no voice -for the sake of Jesus & our younger gen let’s push the hate out of SBC - stop bowing down to hate preachers - they’ve always been w/us we simply don’t give them the floor

I love my country far more than I love a political party - I’m heartbroken seeing our country ripped apart. This is not right nor who we are nor what our ancestors gave their lives for.
Guard your tongue carefully - what you post & repost on social media - you don’t want to be a part of ripping our country apart.
My biggest prayer is for our democracy to be strong - what difference does it make who wins if we destroy ourselves & fuel hatred towards others

Some people think because I’m such good friends with so many non-Xns I will leave my faith or become a universalist - never - Jesus is more precious to me than ever & his message more important
Such a strange Christianity in America today - everyone talks about evangelism, witnessing, yet most have few if any non-xn friends
If your faith can’t handle loving & hanging out with lost people - it’s not the faith of a Jesus

What would an effective missiology for the 21st century look like? Here are a few key elements- - -
A missiology developed without the context of the world is DOA & we have never needed a newer missiology more than we need it today - much of what we have is ineffective, outdated and even detrimental to the Great Commission - it takes years to develop systems that become chains
First, it would be done in the public square neither in a church building or a house church - that would be secondary - focus must shift from the gathering to the market

Just to be clear - the Kurds just lost their land where they have lived for hundreds of years - they will now be driven deeper into Syria where the Russians/Iranians now control - they had no voice - pray for them - thousands of them are Jesus loving people & church planters
They are in a far more dangerous and precarious situation than they were before they started helping us with ISIS
For those interested in history they were a people group dissolved on the borders of 5 nations by the British as they decolonized the area around 100 years ago like the British did with many African nations & the Pashtun people

Why I visit mosque, synagogues, temples, & churches I disagree with & encourage others to as well:

1. Jesus & Paul did their ministry in the public square - they were everywhere people were - their ministry wasn’t cornered off in buildings with believers.
2. Paul went into synagogues after writing the law is no longer necessary to justify XNs. Paul clearly says they have rejected Jesus & the prophets but loves them so much he says he’s willing to go to hell for them.
3. Paul & the early church showed tremendous respect for practicing Jews - when the church began to separate from them, in time they resented them, then vilified them - finally begins a sad chapter of anti-semitism in the church for centuries that for some is still alive
