For years, the Southern Baptist Convention has been embroiled in a crisis of its own making, a saga of mismanagement, appeasement to cultural forces, and, ultimately, financial ruin.
And so just think what those Cooperative Program funds are going for. I always said when the socialists get the SBC then the SBC is done. Sadly my prediction has come true.
Once solid ministries…have been…breached…infiltrated…overrun.. the line of biblical teaching has been crossed….and sound doctrine destroyed…by the enemies of the gospel…it’s hard to clean out all the areas that have been taken over and saturated with lies and compromise and poor management! It’s almost better to close down the whole ungodly edifice and start over! More than likely everyone from the…..board…President…directors…teachers….on down…. are corrupted in some way!
Agreed. I think people have to take the courage to take a stand either by staying and standing up or being willing to leave. It has taken me 40+ years to be at a church that will stand up to support me when Satan's minions come calling. I know better than to let my guard down, but also sad that most of the churches I have had some affiliation with just sit in silence.
One of my past church's pastors stated during a sermon that his mentor was at UNC Chapel Hill in the religion department. The name seemed familiar, but I couldn't place it. So I stealthly picked up my phone during church (I never do especially being visible on the FB video during 2020, and looked up the name. It was the atheist professor at Chapel Hill. Now think about that. You have your pastor whose mentor is an atheist! There were people there who really disliked the pastor and his preaching. Did they do anything or speak up? Nope. Still there.
The wages of sin is death. However, I disagree with the author that we should flee the SBC because of its failings. Name one other major Protestant denomination that still has as much semblance of Biblical orthodoxy as the SBC: a majority voted to ban female clergy, even if it failed the sixty percent mark. We CAN right this ship. We need conservative churches to stay, now more than ever.
As for satisfying that debt, we should WANT to donate to the Cooperative Fund in order to pay down that debt, because doing so means more money shelled out to the victims. The best we can do is perform restitution.
In all, the idea of Satanic infiltrators using the Sacrament of the Holy Orders to gain access to children for the purpose of their sexual pleasure is perhaps the greatest abomination and dagger the Prince of Darkness wields behind the curtains. Teh greatest way to destroy an enemy is from within.
If anything, waiving attorney-client privilege wasn't a bad thing, at least to me, because there will be nowhere to turn when the victims (and also grifters) come for their plunder. We will have actually been judged by an angry God who saw what was being done to those children and saw those tasked with protecting them doing nothing.
That we consulted an Atheistic firm that worships sodomy is irrelevant: ANY auditor was going to show the same results.
I do not pity the Convention for going into debt. If we were so complacent that unfettered sin and a refusal to investigate and discipline wrongdoing allowed a wanton violation of the innocent, which damns their souls because they forever tie the Bride of Christ to Satan, then we deserve to go under.

Scripture is clear, concise and succinct. May Yahweh have mercy on their souls.
What? The financial implosion, dissolution, disappearance of the SBC? Why, that would be just terrible! ......
Really?
