| A SCRIPTURE TO PONDER |
| One of our supporters called and urged us
to read 2 PETER 2:1-3. He had read it that day
during his devotional time. He said to read it
and reflect on its application to what has
happened over the last 15 years in SBC life. It
seems to speak to the issues clearly. The
scripture is from the New International Version. “1 But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them — bringing swift destruction on themselves. “2 Many will follow their shameful ways and will bring the way of truth into disrepute. “3 In their greed these teachers will exploit you with stories they have made up. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping.” |
| GOOD QUOTES FROM BGCT ANNUAL MEETING |
"Texans are fearlessly independent. When they fired Dr. Dilday, they messed with Texas. Texas said, 'enough is enough.'" - Dr. Jerold McBride, BGCT President "Texas Baptists are not about to quit supporting their children's homes and their hospitals and their universities and other Texas programs just because their pastor may be disgruntled. That is not how Texas Baptists take care of their own." - Dr. Jerold McBride, BGCT President "Never fall into the trap of unChristian behavior we reject in others. When the vote goes your way, don't you gloat. Don't lose the spirit of Jesus. - Dr. Russell Dilday, speaking at the annual TBC Breakfast |
