“A faithful pastor cannot preach the gospel to unbelievers, let alone exhort and, dare I say, rebuke, backslidden and unregenerate church members, while satisfying a politically correct standard of  niceness. This is the sort of niceness we could do with less of in our churches and nation.”

“There’s pretty strong language when you say the president is trying to dismantle CP. How under heaven would I, as a pastor, lead my church to give $525,000 undesignated and $2 million to Southern Baptists causes?

That’s not my intent.”
JOHNNY HUNT. The Southern Baptist Convention president was responding to charges that aspects of the Great Commission Resurgence, which he supports, would undermine the Cooperative Program unified giving plan. (BP)
