Letter to the Editor: Let go of ‘doings and numbers’

What excellent articles by Timothy Sweetman and Rudy Gray in the March 2014 issue of the Courier.

We as Christians and Southern Baptists should heed the message of Frank Page. It appears too many of our church leaders and pastors are too concerned with doings and numbers rather than preaching God’s Word, evangelism and missions. I believe God has blessed America because of our fervor for missions around the world. We must not pull back from our strong support for the Cooperative Program and other missions endeavors. Let us quit the struggle of who runs the church and follow the leadership of the Holy Spirit and be about His business of witnessing for Jesus.

Thank you for an excellent paper that covers relevant issues and provides information to assist us in doing God’s business.
