🧵 I wanted to do a thread on Bylaw 8 of the SBC in order to clear up a lot of confusion I am seeing about the removing of churches on the basis of friendly cooperation.
I hope this will be helpful. 1/24
Since the failure of the Law Amendment, there has been talk about how this will make things harder regarding removing churches that are not in friendly cooperation. Some have asserted that the LA would have made it easier to remove churches not in friendly cooperation

One last #SBC23 for now regarding my amendment to BFM:
I believe it was a needed and good edit to strengthen what we have always believed. Nothing change in belief, but gave more clarity.
At the same time, I am 100% of amending the process of how this happens.
It’s not lost on me on how significant this was. I assumed this motion would be referred, and I had no intentions of overruling that decision.
When it was brought out it seemed like a chance to let the messengers speak, and they did just that.
1️⃣ The SBC is not drifting. I don’t see how you could walk away from this convention and believe otherwise.
2️⃣ The SBC is a people committed to the Great Commission.
3️⃣ The SBC is prepared to speak toward hard issues with biblical clarity.
On point one, the messengers overwhelmingly disfellowshipped 3 churches out of step with what we believe.
Clarity was offered for what we believe about the office of pastor with 2 of these churches, and other motions.
All these votes were overwhelming.

Yesterday I tweeted in response to a video of Madison Cawthorn about my experience knowing him. I walked away from my phone and crazy replies and DMs. Mostly anonymous accounts demanding I reveal a smoking gun. I get why people don’t make public comments, it’s crazy.
I don’t know of him doing anything illegal. He “worked” for less than 2 months. He rarely showed up, and when he did he told a lot of lies. Many of those are wide known as he has circulated them for years. His language was also unbecoming of someone to work in a church.
