An Interesting Critique

I think that it's always interesting to hear what others are saying about what's going on in the SBC. NOBTS president Dr. Chuck Kelley recently addressed some of the growing concerns in SBC life. His sermon was critiqued by imonk here. Here's an excerpt of what he had to say:

A. The current SBC has the opportunity to leave some things behind that are
not Biblical. No matter how much we associate those things with the “golden
age” of the SBC, non-Biblical practices shouldn’t be looked back on as
somehow important in our future.

. . .

G. Dr. Kelley has an admiration for aspects of fundamentalism and revivalism
that many younger Southern Baptists are never going to share. The ironic reason
is that the conservative resurgence actually got these younger leaders reading
the Bible.


If you havn't listened to Dr. Kelley's sermon, listen to it first (there's a link to the sermon on the imonk site). Then check out what imonk has to say and feel free to post your agreements/disagreements in the comments.
