Great Commission Resurgence

A good friend of mine pointed out that my slow fade from the blogger world left me with a negative final word concerning the Great Commission Resurgence. I have to agree that I do not want leave a negative word hanging in cyberspace.

I must admit I was impressed with the tone of this year's SBC annual meeting and I did end up voting in favor of the GCR emphasis. All the right things were said.

But I stand by my earlier post that words alone spoken to and about fellow Southern Baptists are not going to change the Kingdom composition of our world. The convention did inspire me to return home to my church and seek to make a Great Commission difference in my church and community.

One small means by which I have sought to implement this is to incorporate a moment of prayer for an IMB or NAMB missionary in our Sunday morning worship. Another step I have taken is to spend less time on things such as blogging.

Not sure what happens in the future when I have deep ministry thoughts that must be expressed. But for now, gonna focus on some other things.

Just remember....I am for the Great Commission.

(Any other questions Joel?)
