Ed Stetzer, president of LifeWay Research and friend of BCL, wrote a response last week<\/a> to the 2008 statistics for the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC). Membership in the denomination dropped 0.2 percent from 2007, and baptisms were down 1.1 percent.<\/p>

According to Stetzer, these declines are consistent with the trend over the past 50 years<\/a> in the SBC, where growth has gradually come to a standstill. “Unless things change,” he says, “we are about to enter a time when we grow accustomed to decline and think back to the good ol’ days of growth.”<\/p>

How then should Southern Baptists respond? Not, hopes Stetzer, with new “straw men” and new “battle lines.” Instead he calls for a “Great Commission Resurgence”:<\/p>

\n

We have been lulled into evangelistic complacency and missional inaction. We [who] fought a battle of the Bible are now struggling [to] live it out through cooperation, collaborative missions, and personal evangelism.<\/p>\n\n<\/blockquote>

But are these trends unique to Southern Baptists? We’ve heard of late some doomsday prophecies for evangelicalism<\/a> and for the weight of Christian influence<\/a> in the U.S. And we’ve heard some rebuttals (here<\/a> and here<\/a>). You can even argue, of course, that a decline in the Western church would do it good, but that’s for another post. <\/p>

Well, it’s impossible to know the future, but I think it’s clear that at least certain segments of the church are hurting. And if Stetzer’s right, then the SBC segment of the church has failed to follow up its faithful stand for the Bible with a faithful response to its call. I’m sure some of us non-SBCers can relate. So I like his final question, for us all to consider: “Are we hurting enough to make the changes we need?”<\/p>

UPDATE: Now there’s a manifesto titled “Toward a Great Commission Resurgence”<\/a> that people are signing.<\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
