The Great Commission Resurgence
Dr. Johnny Hunt (SBC President) and other Convention leaders (Drs. Akin & Reid - Southeastern Seminary) are spearheading a Convention-wide return to the most basic reality of the Christian faith: the Great Commission. When Christ left this earth, He gave us one thing to do - Make disciples from all the nations. Our Convention leadership recognizes that in reclaiming our zeal for God's Word, somehow our zeal for souls became chilled. I believe that this Resurgence will be even bigger than the previous one; this is the biggest revolution in our lifetime - without a doubt.
As I shared with Doc Reid via Facebook - it begins on the church level, as each church commits to becoming a Great Commission church. And even there, it begins on the heart level, as each believer commits to becoming a Great Commission Christian. With the implementation of the Great Commission Focus in our newsletter each week, and the goals of going out of the country each year at least twice with our churchwide mission trips, we are making bold steps at Stanley's FBC to becoming a Great Commission church. May God help us as we continue to move toward His goals for us.
