Joy just got back from BCM (GBC's new name for BSU) leadership team retreat. Apparently, we are going to start advertising ourselves as "740" because the "leaders" think some people think Baptist is a cult.
That's the most ridiculous thing ever! Nobody thinks Baptist is a cult. People associate Baptist with the name of Jesus Christ. That is not an association of which we should be ashamed or from which we should hide. Why pretend we are not who we are? The Bible commands us to go tell the world who we are and Whom we serve. We are Baptists. As Baptists, we are followers of Christ. If people are scared away by that, let them run, but may we never be found hiding behind a facade, ashamed to be known as Baptists!
