“God's kingdom is like a treasure hidden in a field for years and then accidentally found by a trespasser. The finder is ecstatic—what a find!—and proceeds to sell everything he owns to raise money and buy that field.” Matthew 13:44 Discipleship is... a lifelong journey of obedience to Christ.

Reflections on the SBC today

"We are at a very dangerous place as Baptists.  What we do now with the circumstances we are facing is going to have a very significant effect on what we do.  We will become one of two things.  A beautiful arrangement of cut flowers lovely to look at but which are already dead, or a beautiful blooming plant rooted in the earth that will have life for many a season and not for an afternoon..."

 Waylon Bailey on Sunday School

"The thing that is going to change us is deep personal relationships with one another and a deep personal, intimate relationship with God..."  Message from Ridgecrest in CENLA.
