Including today, we have only 8 days left before the conference. So I will be posting a call to pray for one speaker each day until the day of the conference. I hope you will take a moment each day to pray for these men as they finish up their sermon preparations. Nathan Rose … [Read more...] about SBC PC: Pray for Nathan Rose

Lots of Positive Buzz Surrounding 2017 SBC Pastors’ Conference
Has there ever been an SBC Pastor’s Conference with more positive buzz surrounding it than this year’s conference? We all know that the Pastor’s Conference was once an important tool used by the leaders of the Conservative Resurgence to rally the troops to elect conservative SBC presidents and return the convention to biblical orthodoxy. We remember how the 2010 conference focused on the Great Commission Resurgence and was perhaps influential in that way.
