A Resolution for The Southern Baptist Convention

It's getting close to Convention time once again. And of course, everybody is gearing up with new resolutions on everything from the problem of unregenerate church members to the practice of praying in tongues in private.

Some will pass and some will fail, yet if understand things correctly, none of the resolutions will really matter at all if local SBC churches (which are actually autonomous) decide to ignore them anyway!

Just to get in the spirit of it all, I thought I'd add a resolution that I expect some lukewarm Baptists will present at a Convention in the not too distant future!

Whereas, NASCAR is way more interesting than hearing expostitional preaching through the book of Romans; and

Whereas, The fish are biting real good; and

Whereas, The weather has been real nice lately; and

Whereas, Our parents forced us to go to church every time the door was open when we were kids; and

Whereas, Sunday is our only day to rest; and

Whereas, There's not a single verse of Scripture to support it; and

Whereas, We have better things to do; and

Whereas, Gas is too expensive to be driving to church twice on Sunday; and

Whereas, It's really asking way too much of people; and

Whereas, Nobody goes to church on Sunday evenings anyway; now, therefore, be it

Resolved, That the messengers to the Southern Baptist Convention express our total opposition to having church meetings on Sunday evenings; and be it further

Resolved, That we urge Southern Baptists to take an active role in opposing Sunday evening church meetings in other denominations as well; and be it finally

Resolved, That we urge Southern Baptists to be actively involved in educating people both near and far concerning the destructive nature of having church meetings on Sunday evening.
