The Southern Baptist Convention

As I reflect back on the week I realize that I was able to take part in what I believe is a defining moment in Southern Baptist history. We from the "south" are use to seeing a church on every corner and seeing some type of Christian influence just about wherever we go in our own little part of the world. But as you start to travel west in our own country you will see that the Christian influence in many places disappears.

What took place this week at the convention will allow more missionaries to work full time not only here in the western part of our country but in all of North America and the world. The GCR task force took serious their task of how to better reach the unsaved with what God has given us.

We take serious the command to "Go and make disciples" here at First Baptist Lavaca and with the overwhelming majority vote, so do the messengers that attended the convention. 

You ask, What does this mean for us? It means that we keep on keeping on! We keep loving God first and then our neighbors as ourselves! It means when we get the opportunity to tell someone about the saving grace of Jesus, we do so! It means that we take that person and personally disciple them in the way that Jesus taught us to. It means that we live our lives as though we were going to look into His eyes and then bow before Him before this day ends.

I want to thank you First Baptist Lavaca for allowing Sonda and I to go,

We love you,

Kenny
