What a Southern Baptist Can Learn from an Independent Baptist
Last Friday night, I attended the anniversary of the ministry of Evangelist Tim Lee. The title of this essay is not intended to suggest that there is only one thing to learn or even just a plethora of insights. Neither is it my intention to imagine that Independent Baptists have not had their share of difficulties and failures. But anyone present at that salubrious and edifying occasion emerged knowing that the most important things in Independent Baptist thinking were undaunted love for Christ, unmitigated loyalty to the Bible, and universal love for the conversion of the lost.

Editorial Note:
I am posting this in the “Opinion Pieces” section as it comes from Paige Patterson’s blog. It refers to an event celebrating the ministry of evangelist Tim Lee. Tim Lee and Paige Patterson are Baptists who circulate amongst Baptists outside of our general frame of reference, but I think it is worth while to see what others are saying. The point Patterson raises here is important. We can be very heavily theological, get ourselves into doctrinal battles, and so forth. Yet there is one Great Commission, and it gives us our marching orders. We need to remember it.
