“Passion or Division at the SBC?” (The Alabama Baptist, June 24) Sir, the arguments I’m aware of regarding the Great Commission Resurgence (GCR), both pro and con, are mostly from folks that are passionate, not divisive. They are passionate about Christ, passionate about the gospel, passionate about how to best evangelize. Even as they differ, their passion for the cross abounds.
Yet it seems that you, instead of seeing passion for the cross in GCR, only see division. And the divisive crowd is easy to spot. So easy they should be obvious to all. Of course, the villains are the people who disagree with Bob Terry.
Mr. Terry, I fear you’ve been so blinded by your prejudices that you’ve missed the point.
You’ve succinctly stated your position: “But remember, the game is about what methodology Southern Baptists should use to display their common passion to penetrate lostness.” But sir, the methodology is not the object.
The object of the “game” is fulfilling the Great Commission. Oh, that we all would be passionate about spreading the good news of Christ without pride or prejudice.
