If they got to give a speech, then that explains it. Johnny Hunt has got some serious fire in his bones for God. All he had to do was share his passion and love for God…as well as for the Great Commission. I know he has made a huge difference in my life and I pray that God will use him mightily.

I guess not!

I know everyone was saying it, but the nomination speeches really made the case best. Everyone was applauding after the speech in favor of Hunt.

Well…I guess polls are not that accurate after all. Maybe that will prove well in September, too, for president of the US.

Congratulations to Johnny Hunt, New SBC President!

Dr. Cox is ready to accept the leadership of the SBC. My family has known his for about 13 years. He has ministered and discipled to us frequently in our many trials. I’m a gal from Kentucky, now living in Kentucky. At the current time, my attendance at North Metro, Atlanta is as good as most members. Do I drive 6 hours to hear someone preach or enjoy the music? NO….but, if I want to HEAR God’s message, I know that for absolutely certain, that is the ONLY thing that will come from a service there.
Theologically, I’m not as educated as you guys…I recently asked Dr. Cox what he plans to do when elected. Without hesitation he looked at me and said, “we’re going to tell God’s truth”.
And that my friends, is what the world needs!

I grew up in a small SBC in Illinois and I am happy to support Dr. Frank Cox. I know him to be a humble , honest, caring, and loving family man. Not to mention his tremendous leadership skills as a pastor (who has overseen his church grow from humble beginnings to a very large church presently) and his conservative SBC theology. I have no doubt He will use these same qualities to lead the SBC into a new era of cooperation and evangelistic growth. His leadership in guiding his church to give over 13% of it’s undesignated offerings to the SBC is the example we need in our leaders. Without the leaders of large churches in the SBC setting the example, we (the SBC) will struggle financially (still it is mainly small churches giving these larger percentages, and thankfully Dr. Cox’s church is an exception). I am reminded of the story in the Bible of the widow’s mite, it is not as much about how much churches give, but how sacrificially they give. However, saying all that, the quality I admire most about Dr. Cox is his willingness to minister and preach revival’s in very small churches across the South. That is a quality that tells a lot about who he is. I have always felt God would bless him richly for that. Thanks for the opportunity to share some not so well known facts. God bless all of you as you make your decisions.

After reading the BP Q&A, I've decided to change my vote to Bill Wagner. Believe it or not, I've been torn between Johnny Hunt, Les Puryear, and Bill Wagner. I initially cast my vote here for Les but I have decided to cast my "real" Indy vote for Bill. Deciding factors? I am very concerned with the IMB policy and I guess that I have become a one issue SBC voter though there are many issues that I am concerned with. Willis, Cox, and Drake all support the IMB policy. Johnny Hunt did not really answer the question on the IMB tongues/baptism policy. He told us what he believes about the issues without touching THE ISSUE of whether he supports the IMB policy. I have been a little concerned about Les' Presbyterian statements. He answered the question well to BP but I thought that all of his answers were overly short and simplistic. Bill Wagner answered each question carefully and thoughtfully. I'll vote for Wagner. Dave Samples's last blog post..Prayer Service...
