“For me, reason is the natural organ of truth; but imagination is the organ of meaning. Imagination, producing new metaphors or revivifying old, is not the cause of truth, but its condition.”

With the removal of another well known (male) pastor from pastoral ministry due to an inappropriate relationship with a woman (not his wife, to state the obvious) I want to remind ministry leaders to meditate afresh on this helpful article by Randy Alcorn:

Frances is fierce, she’s ferocious
Her ferocity excels
It accelerates and detonates
in love through justice upheld
Fierce in growing
Reading, praying, writing,
Digging into the stories
To unearth and unbind the lying
Fierce in loving
Serving, planning, and doing
She cares with force
Seeking, feeling, intuiting
Fierce for family
For children thinking and discerning
For living and laughing and
Experiencing all the pursuits for learning
Fierce for Jesus
His kingdom, his people, his church
Moving this way and that way
Supporting, upholding in the joy and hurt
Fierce for marriage
For challenging, following, and fun
Spreading fierceness. Inserting power
To run through walls since day one.
Ferocious.
Ferocity + velocity.
Feel it. Love it.
My day one. Nineteen years plus to eternity.
Fierce Frances.
Frances the Fierce.

This seems to me to be a wise and good move for the Southern Baptist Convention of churches. I think this articles reasons are sound and persuasive and I recommend all SBC 2024 messengers support this motion.
If I were going this year I would’ve voted in support of it.

Friends, I call your attention to a significant moment in the life of the Southern Baptist Convention. Next month four Southern Baptists, Andrew Brown, Stephen Lorance, Steve McKinion, and Malcolm Yarnell, will move that the Messengers amend the BFM with the article, "The Creed." The creed they are....
