"Life gets increasingly difficult in
these days leading up to the rapture. Hate stands above love in the
hearts of men. ''

John Yeats, Editor, Oklahoma Baptist Messenger |
"It is not God's desire that his church, for which Christ
prayed for unity, would be divided. The desire of one to impose his
beliefs upon others will only RESULT in division. We
must work together to share the truth of the gospel to every person."

"The 2003 Annie Armstrong offering was 7 percent below our goal of
$53 million. This continues a trend of stagnant, declining
offerings among Southern
Baptists. We've met out goal
only twice in the last 20
years... In 2004, NAMB is unable to fill hundreds (181) of
vacant positions, because of the lack of gifts. We have stopped
enlisting missionaries..
NAMB
missionaries are reaching out to all people groups befriending them,
helping meet needs, and in all ways pointing them to Christ."

Danny
Akin, Southeastern Seminary |
"Southeastern Seminary and Olford Institute have a common commitment
and conviction concerning expository preaching for building great
churches."
(This
is different than the church Christ is building?

"Ruth
of the Old Testament saved her people, yet she had no authority to
do so.
This was not in conformance with the 2000 SBC message."

Keith Wilkerson, Oklahoma Sunday School Specialist |

Jerry Rankin, International Mission Board |
"Overseas baptisms exceeded 500,000 for the first time. Global
events are creating a spiritual hunger, traditional barriers are
falling, and the harvest is accelerating."
