Letters to the Editor

Regarding the Feb. 21 editorial, "What Paul's rebuke of Peter should teach Jimmy," thanks for keeping us informed on the real happenings in the New Baptist Covenant meeting. Please continue to keep us updated. How else will we know the truth about what is going on outside the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC)?

Your comments were on target: "Conservatives warned ...that their failure to accept the total truthfulness of God's Word would have terrible theological consequences." I don't want to even imagine what would have happened to the SBC had certain leaders not taken a stand against the liberal factions existing in the 1980's. However, the liberals still want to move the SBC to more liberal interpretations of the Bible and faith under the guise of "acceptance of all beliefs."

Thanks for your truthful journalism and continued watchfulness of this situation.

I agree with the editor (Feb. 21) regarding the New Baptist Covenant. The Apostle Paul had to address several spiritual and moral issues to the New Testament churches to promote the unity of the faith. SBC Resolutions are not meant to divide people. It's important that we let the church and the world know how we stand on moral and spiritual issues.
