Twitter heated up last week when the SBC Executive Committee tweeted a promo about Racial Reconciliation Sunday– a day that has been on the SBC calendar since the 1960’s. Some Southern Baptists read a lot into the day and objected. Today Joe and Jimmy walk through what was said, and call for us all to do better in talking through these issues with one another, rather than talking past one another without understanding.

Grace and Law V: Is the Law Enemy of Friend?
The way we approach an object reveals what we think of it. Consider a child approaching a plate at dinner filled with broccoli versus that same child approaching a plate with dessert on it. So how do we approach the law of God? Or, to ask a more important question: how does God want us to approach His law?
The first step to answering that question is to realize that the moral law is a reflection of God’s moral perfection. It gives us an expression of God’s character applied to our human experience. Consider that it also expresses God’s authority as Law-Giver.
As we consider our approach the the law, we have to be aware of some ditches we can fall into. For example, we can fall into the ditch of divorcing the law and the gospel. We are tempted to put a deep division between the two. But we must realize it was God the Father, as much as God the Son and the Holy Spirit, who delivered the 10 Commandments to Moses. The law and the gospel are not opposed, though they do have different roles in redemption.
