Exclusive Dead Men Walking Podcast: Tom Ascol was ready to lead the SBC back in July 2021

Okay, let's move on to the second story. I pulled this from CNN because we love garbage headlines. And that's what CNN gives us because they always give us something slanted because they're supposedly pure journalism.

The SBC, CNN, and the Folly of Appeasing the World

But let's see Southern Baptist Convention can dodge a schism, but not its own history. Ooh, where's our where's our? We got a job for it. I'm just gonna read the first paragraph or two because I can't stomach the rest.

The Southern Baptist Convention in Nashville this week nearly elected a Less a less hardline leader in Ed Litton. But don't be fooled this meeting largely confirmed that the victory of what the SBC calls the conservative resurgence of the 1980s Endures so CNN's kind of playing both sides are saying well.

We think they got a more moderate leader, but they're also the the conservatism is enduring. We weren't there. I'm not part of the SBC. We follow it closely. I obviously as the largest denomination Protestant denomination in the United States.

I know pastor Tom was there. Do you have any comments and and we I've been following Rod Martin who's been on the Online Thank You Rod. Come back on anytime. But so pastor, what was your thoughts on that being down in at the convention last weekend?

Yeah, well, I mean, I think that CNN headline and what you read perfectly illustrates the folly of so many who are Trying to lead the SBC right now in thinking that you can appease the world If we heard it once we heard it ten times during the convention.

The world is watching. The world is watching. You know, we've got to be nice. Don't don't say these divisive things. The world is watching and it's like we've forgotten. There's a God in heaven and he is watching too.

See it and you know We want to come across nice to see it in. There's just no way. There's no way because they're operating off of a completely different Understanding of the world. They deny the God who created the world.

They are opposed to God and anything God says. I've watched a couple of these little talking heads off See CNN over the last few days Regarding the SBC and it's hilarious to me. Some of them are trying to actually do theology In this quote in Bible verses and I just want to respond to they look guys.

I will not try to do fake journalism if you will try. Disappointed that some of our SBC leaders are buying into that and they're just being played by that. They think they can placate the world. There's absolutely no way and the only way forward is for us to say this is what the Lord Jesus says and We're going to stand with him and we love you enough to tell you the truth Even though you're gonna hate us for it.
