This past Thursday Dr. Danny Akin delivered a bold message concerning what he believes must happen for the Southern Baptist Convention to be viable moving forward. Dr. Akin is President of Southeastern Baptist Seminary in North Carolina and the message was delivered in chapel at that seminary. To say the Southern Baptist Convention annual meeting is aging is an understatement. And for good reason. The purpose of this blog is not to write negative opinions and thoughts about anyone or any institution. For that reason and others, I will not share any negative thoughts I may have about the SBC. Instead I wish to AMEN! Dr. Akin's message. If this were baseball, I would say, "Touch them all Danny! You hit a homerun!".
I would only add: I have had the privilege spending time with Dr. Akin. He is one of those men you can sense from the moment you meet him, he is the real deal.
If you care to read his manuscript, you can find it here.
If you would rather listen, you can find it here.

i agree wholeheartedly.
Mark,
I went to the audio link but couldn't gt it to play. Any ideas how to get the audio to work? The text is too long :). Got half way through the text and looks really good. Sounds like something the entire western church could learn from! Look forward to hearing the feedback from this from the SBC.
Hope all is well with you and your ladies. Talk soon.

Shane,
I'm not sure why the audio would not have worked. You might want to try to going to the Southeastern Seminary site and go to the chapel link. They post all chapel services online. This one will be among those posts. Let me know if you that doesn't work.
