SBC in Touchstone

A link mostly so I don't forget to read it later. Looks like, overall, the outlook is bright . . .

Thankfully, the future of Southern Baptist churches in confronting these challenges looks promising. The seminaries are producing young pastors and missionaries who are committed to rigorous biblical proclamation, robust confessional orthodoxy, and radically countercultural evangelism and discipleship. The next generation seems to understand that Christians must confront a darkening culture not simply with direct-mail campaigns and slicker advertisements, but by grounding churches in what Southern Baptists have always believed: the authority of Scripture and the necessity of the new birth.
