Brass Band had such a blast today playing for our new friend Scott’s 40th birthday party. What a great group of family and friends to parade with. Mostly I’m thankful live music is back.

It’s very disconcerting to me when American Christians are more concerned about their “rights” than they are about loving their neighbor. Jesus & Paul both spoke about setting aside your “rights” to serve & love others. Matt 22:36-40 / Rom 14 / 1 Cor 8. How is this being missed?

I keep thinking back to all the debate over the waiving of privilege last fall. Every bit of the push back was for the purpose of keeping the truth hidden. All of it! That whole thing was a sham & those who participated in it, knowingly or not, are complicit.

Hey friends. I’d like to ask everyone to pray for my dad. He had a stroke-like episode as he stepped into the pulpit yesterday morning (thankfully it was not a stroke). Unfortunately, it appears he has brain cancer, along with a number of other issues. Pray for CJ & Linda Adkins.

Not sure I can “Amen” this one loud enough. The bluster and brouhaha may work to whip up a base, but if our concern is pastoral qualifications, I’m afraid some have misdirected their “righteous indignation.”
After reflecting on the week, the biggest issue facing the
#SBC
is NOT unqualified women serving as pastors (and there are a few); the biggest issue is unqualified men serving as pastors (of which there are many more, i.e.-“self-controlled, respectable…gentle, not quarrelsome”)

#strawman
We, in the SBC, have so aligned with the GOP that the biblical orthodoxy of those who do not support Trump and the party is doubted.
People are labeled liberal for their politics - all in the name of the sufficiency of scripture.
