We have reached a tipping point
Dr. Alvin Reid is one of my favorite people in SBC academia. He has just posted an article on BetweenTheTimes.com that speaks really well to where I believe we are in the SBC today.
In the article he does a wonderful job of assessing historical trends as well as attempting to identify where we are currently. The article gives me much hope about potential changes on the horizon and I hope, and believe, that he is accurate in his final estimation. I would really encourage you to run over and read it.
