Last week a handful of us from FBC attended the SBTC annual convention. This year it was held in the Dallas area. I spent most of my time in the exhibit area, where our ministry had a display set up. While there wasn't an overwhelming response to the ministry, I must say that our Lifesaver basket was quite popular.
I did manage to make it to a couple of sessions. There was a recurring theme in this year's meeting, which is that there are about 3,800 unreached, unengaged people groups in the world today (which essentially means that they have no meaningful access to the gospel). One of the speakers said that we have already reached all the areas that are easy to reach. If we are to be successful in reaching the rest, it will require a level of sacrifice that so far we have been unwilling to make.
The most enjoyable part of the week was a dinner/dialogue event called "Would Calvin Use An Evangecube?" It was a spirited discussion between 2 first-rate Christian thinkers about the age-old question of the free will of man in salvation. There were no knockout blows, and the interchanges were respectful. Alas, we never learned what Calvin thought about the Evangecube.
