Yesterday I put together a list of things I would not do in light of the declining numbers in the Southern Baptist Convention. Today, a list of things I will do. I will witness
I will be faithful those whom God has given me to minister to
I will be proud of my convention
I will affirm the Baptist Faith and Message
I will be a proud signatory to the Great Commission Resurgence statement
I will realize that my message is being pushed further into the fringes of society
I will be willing to speak the truth in love even if it hurts a bit
I will be willing to speak the truth in love even if it hurts a lot
I will attend the SBC as long as my church allows and I can afford it (anybody need to share a hotel in Louisville?)
I will pray before I vote for convention leadership rather than simply voting for the pastor from the largest church
I will share my faith
I will honor those who helped bring the convention to where it is
I will continue believe that the Bible is true in all that it declares
I will pray for the convention leadership
I will listen to those who are wiser than me
I will remember that the gospel is not just about the afterlife but that it instantly makes life better
I will tell others about what Christ did for me
I will encourage other under-40s to participate in denominational life
I will encourage my state convention to pass as much money on to the SBC as possible
I will continue to support the CP
I will remember that God is in control
I will make the gospel central to my message
I don't have any plans to make any further comments beyond this list, but if you want something clarified just ask. Also feel free to add to this list in the comments
