SBC entity trustees need to stand with the BF&M and against state penalties for blasphemy.
If folks don't like it, there is, of course, a mechanism to change it.

I can't trust a political philosophy that says, "Elected officials need to make the will of Christ supreme in society... Also, it's really important to vote for the guy who disregarded the will of Christ in his own marriage."

While decrying the rot in our age's public discourse, CT's editors themselves have slouched toward it.
CT editors (Nov. 6, 1970): “It is always wrong to gossip about things we know to be untrue. This is lying. It is equally wrong to gossip about things of which we are not certain. This is pawning the truth. And it is also wrong to spread damaging information that we know to be true, unless there are compelling reasons for doing so.”

Texas is the fastest team to go from AP #1 to unranked since last season’s Texas team.
It's almost like Jesus knew something.
"If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you." ~John 15:19

In a different day and time, where one might hope it would provoke in people some somber reflection upon the fragility of life, the atrocity of murder, and the inevitability of judgment, there might be some value found in public execution.

Pray for the country of Panama after today’s earthquake. Damage is reported in Veraguas, Herrera & Los Santos. We’re in contact with Baptist partners as local church leaders assess needs. Pray for hurting families & for churches caring for their neighbors. #PrayForPanama @IMB_SBC

A sense of humanity informed by biblical hamartiology—not dispensationalism—is what makes me strongly disagree with you on that.

Apparently some of you believe Jewish people are a distinct class of sinners, worse than all others—collectively guilty as the sinister agents behind literally every major social and political problem conservatives care about.
"It's not biblical" vs "It won't work":
Just another debate between exegetes & pragmatists.
Is big government Christian? Or can government be too small to succeed?
In today’s episode, listen to Levi Secord and @james_d_baird’s articles as they respond to one another’s arguments.

🎯‼️"We gain more ground when our character matches what we have been called to be...These are commands, not concessions to weakness...Fighting for our convictions does not give us permission to abandon Christian character.‼️🎯

Godly, mature people "tend to be drama dampeners, not drama accelerators. Immature people love drama...And when we do that, we divide the saints."
