Seeking the Lord, Building relationships, Committed to serve
Why are we celebrating Christmas in August? It is not because we have the months mixed up but it is because there is still a great need for the gospel of Jesus Christ to reach the nations. As a Southern Baptist Church we support the International Mission Board, which does a fantastic job sending out missionaries.
As a church, it’s our responsibility to teach what the Bible says, and not what certain preachers may say. While there are many television preachers that I wish our people would ignore completely, my hope is that as we teach the Word of God, our congregation will begin to make these choices on their own. So while I generally don’t single preachers out for their comments to their congregations, I do feel that recent comments made by Rick Warren to the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) do warrant examination. He wasn’t preaching to a Christian congregation, and in fact wasn’t preaching at all. He was asked by the ISNA to come and speak to their group.
