Greensboro II
These are interesting days for NAMB and NOBTS. I spent most of the day yesterday walking between the booths. I wore the wrong shirt, but tried to be helpful anyway. Both booths were crowded with people asking great questions and genuinely interested in giving us encouragement and their participation. I think the best days are ahead for both entities, and I feel glad to work with them.
Dr. Kelley's speech was excellent as usual, and NAMB Interim & Evangelism Prof. Exemplar Dr. Roy Fish received a standing ovation at his introduction. You can see the reports for both agencies at www.sbc.net.
Overall, this was one of the better conventions I've attended. People with whom I spoke wanted unity. Speakers from the podium and the floor were generally gracious and willing to listen to others' opinions on substantive issues. For that I am thanking the Holy One this morning!
It's easy to let things about which one is passionate get the best of his or her need to be kind. Col. 3:12-13 gives us instruction "as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering; bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do." SoBapt family, we will be wise to remember who we are--God's chosen (along with all the other believers still walking the earth) light-givers to a depraved world. How can we respond to God's kindness other than with humility and grace toward others (I wish I was better at it, maybe one day I will grow into my election).
Well, I am off to Raleigh, the up to Virginia for a couple days. The convention has been a good trip. I hope I see you holding your voting card next year.
