“For such a time as this” is a well-known biblical phrase calling attention to the magnitude of a moment.

We are at a momentous moment in Southern Baptist life. “For such a time as this” we need a servant-leader statesman as our next president.

Let me paint a picture of the kind of president we need.

We need a president who is godly and humble. He is neither interested in celebrity nor popularity. He preaches the Bible and is a faithful shepherd to his people. He recognizes the Convention isn’t perfect, but he is committed to its core doctrines, values and ministries.

He understands how the Convention works. He has experience at every level of Southern Baptist life, from the national to the state to the associational to the local church level.

He doesn’t polarize people, but unites them. He is courageous enough to take unpopular stands. But, he does it with love and acceptance for those who have another opinion.

He will have to lead Southern Baptists in what I believe will be its most difficult, challenging years.

So, the ballot is before you. Punch the name of ____________, a servant-leader Statesman. “For such a time as this.”
