Optimistic Outlook of the SBC

I have been deeply encouraged by the work of leaders such as Albert Mohler, Danny Akin and Mark Dever this year at the SBC. They are fighting for the future of the convention to be Gospel centered and focused on fulfilling the Great Commission. Michael Spencer writes a summary of what has been occurring at the SBC. Spencer's sixth point is especially encouraging, where he writes:

The patient teaching of the Gospel and church-centered theology by the Founders Ministries and 9Marks has paid off in more fruit than can be put in a basket. Hundreds and hundreds of young people, hungry to hear how to build a Gospel centered, God honoring, missionary focused church. It is astonishing. It may not be revival, but it is a solid outcome that will make a huge difference for a small number of churches.

Praise God for these men and their fight to stand firm and give hope for the future. Read the rest of Spencer's post here. Visit the Great Commission Resurgence for more information regarding the motion that has been a huge step forward at this years convention.
