‘Great Commission Giving’ would be CP disaster
March 8 2010 by Norman Jameson, BR Editor
The irony of life in the Southern Baptist corral is that for most of the past 30 years Southern Baptists have elected to national leadership men who did not demonstrate deep seated, convictional support of the Southern Baptist Convention.
