“preserve the base” (Ronnie Floyd)

Translates to “do whatever is necessary to protect the Cooperative Program.” CP offerings ($500 million per year) are sent by thousands of cooperating SBC churches to fund various SBC entities and top-dog salaries. The “base” ain’t got a clue what goes on in SBC ivory towers; they still innocently give to SBC work thinking they can trust national leaders to do the right thing (they need to get over that!).

Personal prediction: There will be an explosion next week at the convention, or a mass exodus. To be continued…

Oh, there may be some weeping and gnashing of teeth perhaps … but I figure the annual meeting will end as usual. SBC messengers will agree to disagree, join hands, hug each other, sing Kumbaya, and climb back on the bus return to their home churches with nothing changing much. Oh they will pass a few resolutions they won’t keep and Mohler will be crowned King of the Mountain. All the time thinking they had done God’s will, without God having been involved at all.

(if God by chance does get involved, there will be that mass exodus and/or eruption you predict … with a touch of His wrath, they will be scurrying out of the conference center like Baptists running to a chicken dinner)

Nancy2(aka Kevlar): I think I can read Ronnie Floyd’s mind: “preserve the base” = I am the base”

Or perhaps a description of Ronnie Floyd: “I am base.” (“Base” in the sense of morally low; without estimable personal qualities; dishonorable; meanspirited; selfish; cowardly. From DICTIONARY.COM.)

Max,

I absolutely agree with you Max that the messengers will end things status quo. Just another reason that, like you, I am DONE. It’s heartbreaking, sickening, and enraging.

As the little girl in the commercial says, why not both?

Much as I disagree with the doctrines (and many of the practices) of both the IFB’s and the Churches of Christ, their eschewing formal denominational structures (both hierarchal and congregational) is a plus. They don’t have to spend $$$ on keeping a power base active.

All that does is drop the Game of Thrones to a local level.
(Not so local if they become a Mega with “Franchise Campuses” all over the place.)

Because MONEY TALKS.
