In which I eat crow
The temptation is to give a laundry list and then sort of duck out as I say what I ought to say, but that's bush league.
In the past, I have been a vocal critic of Ronnie Floyd, and of his one church in two locations -- specifically of their past record of Cooperative Program giving.
Today I read this post at Dr. Floyd's blog. We could fisk the number listed there and try to minimize it, but let me say this: $350,000 is a lot of money for any church to give over to the cooperative program of the SBC, especially in economic times like these, and I credit Dr. Floyd, his staff, and the members of his churches for giving.
That's real money, and it puts to shame any criticism of them on that front. May God bless them for it, and use it for the sake of the Gospel.
