In Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3 of this series, I’ve focused on how similar the rhetoric surrounding the Great Commission Resurgence today is to the rhetoric regarding the newly formed Cooperative Program in the mid 1920s.

That discussion eventually led to the formation of [...]

Something tells me that Yogi Berra may not be following the Great Commission Resurgence discussion in Southern Baptist life these days but one of his oft quoted malapropisms is certainly an appropriate one for the current conversation – “It’s deja vu all over again.” Because of the strong involvement and encouragement of young leaders in this [...]

What is Your Definition of Missions?
August 2nd, 2009 · 1 Comment · All Posts, Cooperative Program, International missions, Kentucky Baptist Convention, Kentucky Baptist entities, Kentucky missions, Southern Baptist Convention
Much of the Great Commission Resurgence discussion these days seems to revolve — at least from a funding standpoint — around the topic of mission priorities. Southern Baptists are legitimately asking, “How can we make sure that the dollars we put in the offering plate do the utmost good in fulfilling the Great Commission?” Most [...]

One of the big questions being asked in relation to the Great Commission Resurgence is “How much money is staying within any given state convention versus how much is being sent on to Southern Baptist Convention causes?” We live in a very lost world and Southern Baptists are legitimately wanting to make sure their missions dollars [...]

It’s a question I don’t [...]
