Acceptable Words

This was a livestream where I just kind of went off about why I'm always "picking on" the Baptists. Honestly, it's mostly because they have the largest voice in evangelical culture, and that voice is not infallible and sometimes needs to be corrected. I also talk about how conservative evangelical churches in Pope County, Arkansas have irresponsibly handled the issue of whether or not our county will have casino. I'm not pro-casino or anti-casino, but I am pro-Gospel, and salvation is not by faith plus an anti-casino political position.

I'll close out the show talking about the potential dangers of the Legacy Standard Bible.

The NAMB of the SBC are encouraging southern pastors to lose their southern accents so that they can be all things to all men, but is this really neccesary? Why is it still cool to take shots at Russell Moore? Also, if Baptist churches and pastors aren't happy with the SBC, why won't they just leave? After all, they're all autonomous. Finally, I discuss how churches in SBC are essentially only connected to the convention through a tenuous string of money that goes into the Cooperative Program.

We spoke about Josh's pastoral ministry in Kansas City, Missouri as well as the book review that started getting his blog a lot of attention. We soon began talking about divine simplicity, classical theism, and why it matters for the local church.
