My hopes that JD Greear would cruise to election in Dallas this summer were dashed today when I read a Twitter and Facebook exchange dominated by the estimable Drs. Bart Barber and Nathan Finn promoting an alternate candidate for SBC President.
Evidently, Bart is planning to nominate…Chuck Norris for SBC President.
The following reasons, given by the Barber/Finn Coalition for Norris, explain the reasons for the candidacy.
- Chuck Norris casts the ballot of the convention with a roundhouse kick. (Rev. Dr. Barber)
- Chuck Norris doesn’t serve on committees. He is a committee of one. (Rev. Dr. Finn)
- Chuck Norris decides whether to bring the Committee on Resolutions to the floor. (Rev. Dr. Barber)
- Chuck Norris rules Barry McCarty out of order. (Revised version of a Rev. Dr. Barber tweet).
- The @SBCCP gives to Chuck Norris. (Rev. Dr. Barber)
- Chuck Norris taught Robert the Rules of Order. (Rev. Dr. Barber)
- Chuck Norris IS a quorum. (Rev. Dr. Barber).
- Chuck Norris doesn’t get baptized; bodies of water get chucked. (Rev. Dr. Finn)
- If churches practice Chuck Discipline, we wouldn’t have any membership issues in the SBC. (Rev. Dr. Finn)
- Benjamin Wright observed, “Motions from Chuck Norris do not require a second.”
- A bit of wisdom from Fake Wiley Drake – Paige Patterson and Paul Pressler met at the Cafe Du Monde to plan the conservative resurgence. Chuck Norris bought the beignets.
They make some excellent points, but I believe that the SBC is still best served with the Greear candidacy. However, there are aspects of the Norris candidacy that intrigue me.
I was disappointed, though, that Bart seems to have joined the conspiracy theorists.
Bart asserted, “TMW Lifeway messed up Chuck Norris’s Sunday School order.”
Hilarious!

Hahaha…
A+
Chuck Norris doesn’t have to pass resolutions against certain groups; he can defeat them all by himself.
Isn’t Chuck still supporting Mike Huckabee for President?
Oh, nevermind – that’s a different kind of President.
What next? Hulk Hogan for First Vice President?
I like it. We need more articles like this to help us loosen up a little bit. And while we are nominating Chuck Norris, I nominate Dr. Jim Austin, former Executive Director of the South Carolina Baptist Convention, for first Vice-President. He is a Chuck Norris fan and will work well with our new president!
Hey guys!
Being that my husband is retired military (Special Forces, a former Green Beret) Chuck Norris would have my vote!
I actually know some former Delta Force men. One of those men was my husband’s team leader!
