priorities

On the heels of my last post concerning the Kingdom which FBC Dallas is building, here are some thoughts about money in the SBC:

According to Gordon Fort at last nights meeting SBC churches collected $11.1 billion 08, according to the ACP, and only 2.77 percent was used to support the vision of reaching a lost world. "Southern Baptists are structuring ourselves in a way that guarantees we will fail in our mission, it just shouldn’t be,” Yes only 2.77% of all S. Baptist gifts go to World Missions by way of the IMB.

 I got that from a few friends.  The problem is not money and resources, it is priorities.  What are we willing to give up in order that more people might hear the gospel?

I have my first post concerning Detroit in the works.
