I just read these statements. A few reactions:

1. I’m not sure how many times the SBC can repent for its being founded on slavery.

2. The original statement is so laden with CRT categories like “power” and “influence” that it is either done in blatant ignorance or maliciously

3. To accuse brothers, like me, who rightly hate CRT of only caring about “winning” is the height of uncharitableness.

4. JD said “I, for one, remain committed to a posture of humility.” I have a 4a and 4b to that:

4a. JD could have shown this by stepping down as president and giving his position to a minority person. That is, if he *actually* believed what he is writing. But it appears to me he does not. 4b. why is pro CRT the “humble” position? This seems like virtue signaling to the max

5. “great commission Baptists” is going to mean woke Baptists isn’t it? It’s going to mean that if you’re not woke, you don’t care about the great commission

6. The SBC presidents statement against CRT has stirred this up. Good. It needs to be stirred up.

6a. We need the battle lines drawn so that southern Baptists can clearly see what is going on and what is at stake here. I don’t agree with the justice statement but I’m glad it exists because it helps to identify that there are two diametrically opposed views here.

7. The issue remains over the sufficiency of Scripture. I don’t care how many times someone says they hold to the sufficiency of Scripture. If they employ CRT categories, they practically deny it (whether sinisterly intentional or just ignorantly).

8. Please pray for the SBC. Nashville is going to be telling toward our future.
