The article seems to point us towards rethinking the ways these values have become separate and opposed through politics, labels and falling prey to the ideologies of our culture at large rather than His Kingdom at hand. I am excited to hear that your church is holding to all of these values and doing a good job of it. Be grateful for that and lean into it. That's a really difficult and rare thing. Grace to you. I hope you will rethink the offense. Derek,

I am still working on "Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world." James 1:26-27 If I ever get that right I might try out one of this list.

You may not be that way, but my parents are "SBC"ers too and I've heard them say most of those things are "liberal mess." Of course, it is not true of all people from any one point of view, but I would agree with the writer that it is a common occurence. Also, patriotism and social identification play a role in how people view Christians in a political spectrum. It's the whole "Right-Wing Christian" thing. People find it easier to say that conservatives are Christians, and liberals are not. This chasm is somewhat of an abomination, and until it is corrected by a melding of beliefs and actions by Christians, society will probably continue using these terms to define "us."

There is a typo here. I think that should read "8-Were radically for the poor.... 9-Mixed races and classes..." But all in all a wonderful post. “If we held the values 1-Refused bloodthirsty sports, 2-Refused militarism, 4-Empowered women, 9-Mixed races and classes, and 10-Were radically for the poor, we would be considered liberal by conservative ideology.”

Iam leading an indegenous church called Gospel Harvest Church. Our vision is on soul winning and church planting. Iam at the moment looking after 26 churches. Most of these are in the remote areas where the gospel is not often heard. I would also appreciate if you cold help me train my church leaders. May I please hear from you.

I find this deeply offensive. I attend a Southern Baptist Church (not a bastion of liberalism by any measure) and I can tell you we hold to all of these values stridently. I think you are falling prey to what our opponents say about us rather than the truth. “If we held the values 1-Refused bloodthirsty sports, 2-Refused militarism, 4-Empowered women, 9-Mixed races and classes, and 10-Were radically for the poor, we would be considered liberal by conservative ideology.”
