<strong>The</strong> <strong>Heart</strong> <strong>of</strong> a <strong>Baptist</strong>A White Paper from <strong>The</strong> CTRConclusionOh! This <strong>Baptist</strong> heart is breaking for the loss <strong>of</strong> <strong>Baptist</strong> fidelity! <strong>Baptist</strong>s, <strong>of</strong>whom Southern <strong>Baptist</strong>s comprise the healthiest part, are besieged. Our faith is underassault. In the culture, in the ivory tower, and in the churches, we face huge andpotentially debilitating challenges. To be quite honest, <strong>Baptist</strong>s could be frightened fortheir future. Did <strong>Baptist</strong>s not have a sovereign God Who providentially cares for Hispeople, despair would arise. Fortunately, God is in control and true <strong>Baptist</strong>s willultimately survive and gain the victory by His grace. That said, we face greaterchallenges today than we have ever faced before. <strong>The</strong> Controversy or ConservativeResurgence <strong>of</strong> the late 20 th Century is a mere precursor to the battles for theologicalintegrity which face us, some <strong>of</strong> which will make that episode look like child‘s play. Willyou seek to propagate and preserve the <strong>Baptist</strong> heart?© Malcolm B.
