If you haven’t seen it yet, there is a new article that just hit the press this morning. Johnny Hunt had an interview with the Florida Baptist Witness on the need for the Great Commission Resurgence. It’s a great interview that gives some clarity about the reason for the document, as well as, his response to some of the criticism. If you haven’t signed the Great Commission Resurgence, go to the site and do so. As Southern Baptist’s it’s time to lay our differences aside and unite for the sake of the Gospel.
Great Commission Resurgence
ATTENTION ALL SOUTHERN BAPTIST! Go to www.greatcommissionresurgence.com to read and sign the statement from our President Dr. Johnny Hunt. In the past we fought for the Inerrancy of Scripture. That battle has been won! The time has come for a new rally cry. This document contains that cry, The Great Commission Resurgence. May we put our differences aside and join together to bring the gospel to the nations.
In brief, here are the 10 points of the document:
I. A Commitment to Christ’s Lordship.
II. A Commitment to Gospel-Centeredness.
III. A Commitment to the Great Commandments.
IV. A Commitment to Biblical Inerrancy and Sufficiency.
V. A Commitment to a Healthy Confessional Center.
VI. A Commitment to Biblically Healthy Churches.
VII. A Commitment to Sound Biblical Preaching.
VIII. A Commitment to a Methodological Diversity that is Biblically Informed.
