Live SBC coverage from the Illinois Baptist
SBC President Fred Luter
"We need to understand that we're in this together," Luter said in his president's address. "It's not about your church and my church. It's not about your ministry and my ministry. If's not about your kingdom and my kingdom. It's about all of us as Southern Baptists working together." Visit iB2news.org for more.
The Southern Baptist Convention kicked-off Sunday with the SBC Pastors' Conference, and ends Wednesday at 5 p.m. The Illinois Baptist has been in Houston all week providing live coverage on iB2news.org, and at Facebook and Twitter. Watch the convention live at SBC.net. Check out IBonline.IBSA.org for a complete overview of the SBC from the Illinois Baptist on June 17.

Heart 3 things churches LOVE that KILL outreach

All churches love certain things. Some love fellowship, some worship, some prayer. Those are good loves. Some are neutral loves. Some are not. Other churches love their building, their history or their strategy.
