Comments for Great Commission Kentucky

Comment on Overcoming the Big Disconnect by Sonny

My wife and I are in our 60’s now and have done personal bible study for over 40 years because there is a famine of serious theology and discipleship in the church. We’ve attended pentacostal and SBC churches over the years. We have been in a SBC church for the last 10 or so years. We now drive 16 miles to a PCA church and the difference is dramatic. It’s well worth the drive. These people are serious about the Bible. I am meeting people who know more about the Bible than I ever thought of knowing.
If I am any indication, SBC is in trouble. If people rise up and get the courage to leave family and church friends and go find a church that is truly fufilling the Great Commission then your numbers will start dwindling.
I know it’s hard to leave a church where you have attended for years and have many good friends. I miss them but don’t worry, I’m not proselytizing. If they ask, which only one friend has, I will tell them why.
No one else including the pastor has bothered to contact us. And this was a SBC church!! I have never had the call to teach or I would have. It is a calling you know. And I have been ask several times to teach because of my comments in Sunday school during our time in an SBC church. I do have a calling to be a serious student of the Word. We now are surrounded by people with that same calling. Every Sunday we hear excellent teaching and expository preaching. And these people are not puffed up with their knowledge. They are very sweet and humble and I will add very friendly people. The Pastor has us in a prospective members class which is something we’ve never experienced anywhere else.

Totally agree that although there are some vital questions and issues that need to be addressed we must at present move forward in returning to our commitment as Southern Baptists in seeing God’s Great Commission fulfilled in Kentucky, our nation and our world! And thank you Dr. Mackey for keeping us focused on what it truly important in this process.

Hi Brandon,

My understanding is that these initial listening sessions will be to hear from Kentucky Baptists as part of the committee’s work to gather information. They haven’t released a draft report at this point so I think these meetings will be more an opportunity for people to express opinions.

Is there anything to react to in this meeting? Are any recommendations being presented for people to discuss? Or, is this simply an opportunity for people to express opinions? Thanks!

Great insights into possible ramifications of this report. We shoud all “count the cost” first and be very wise with our decision.
