Aaron and I will be attending the Baptist General Convention of Texas Annual Meeting today and tomorrow. Pray for us and for the convention. Pray that we will grow together as brothers in Christ, encouraging and challenging each other. Pray that the convention will return to it's bible roots. These are the major issues in the convention right now- support for Open Theism in our colleges and seminaries, support and encouragement for women to become senior pastors in our convention, from our executive director, and from our colleges and seminaries. Fundamentally this is a product of leaving behind a solid stance on the inerrancy of Scripture. If their is no authority than everything goes. And judging by the attitudes of those attending the convention things are going.
Pray for us

I think this years convention was good news for the BGCT. To only miss electing a president that says he wants to cooperate with the SBC by 40 votes. . . WOW! People have long thought these kind of numbers to be impossible to attain at the BGCT meetings. More people will show up next year if a similar candidate is run. Texas Baptists now have hope. . . they can change things by attending the convention. What a difference a real choice makes.
I have long believed that the minority was controling the majority in Texas. The BGCT 2007 annual meeting has proved my hunch right. This years convention was anything but a victory for the status quo. I believe things have just begun to get interesting in Texas.
Lastly, there is no doubt the BGCT needs change. No one could have done a worse job managing mission funds over the past two years. I pray that there is an even bigger showing at next years convention, and perhaps then competant, Bible believing people will be elected.
