To My Fellow Christians, Evangelists, & Ministers of the LORD<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am greatly concerned about the \u201cstate of the Churches,\u201d particularly SBC [Southern Baptist Convention] Churches! Satan is actively seeking to \u201cdivide and conquer\u201d the Southern Baptist Convention churches, and that will be a very sad day if he is able to succeed! (Although, it is worth noting that down through the ages God has used what Satan intended for evil to correct His people and get them going in the right direction. Something to think about. . . .)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I truly hope you are as troubled as I am by the corruption\nthat is, and has been, seeping into the SBC churches. We claim to be a body of\nbelievers that holds the Holy Scriptures as our sole authority! And it\u2019s past time\nfor God\u2019s people to start living up to that \u201cHigh Calling!\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no denying that there is a major battle going on. The question that remains\u2014whose side are you on? The \u201cdividing line\u201d of our time has been brought into clear focus by Pastor J.D. Greear\u2019s views on homosexuality, and I hope you will prayerfully read the attached message [see below] that highlights my views on this important issue that could very well be the catalyst that brings down the SBC!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the love of Christ, C. Read<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On January 27, 2019 Dr. J.D. Greear, president of the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) preached a sermon to his congregation titled \u201cHow the fall affected us all.\u201d1<\/a> The message has been viewed multiple times by many, and deep concern has been voiced over his non-biblical treatment of Romans 1:21-32. The emphasis was on the treatment of homosexuals by the church. There are seven points in his message that many of us find either misleading or totally in error:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
