Who will be the new president at SEBTS?

You all have obviously over looked the next man for the job... Me! I'm a sure thing: I am an alumnus of Southeastern College at Wake Forest, I am already here at SEBTS (limited moving expenses), and well... most people like me.

I may have unfairly taken what you said in the worst possible way, but when I was in seminary I got very tired of hearing fellow students talking about their "careers" in ministry and how they were going to try to work up to bigger and bigger churches.

Too many vocational ministers appear to make their goal in life a pursuit of wealth, power and prestige. In my opinion, this pursuit of worldly measure of success and self-indulgence is the root of many denominational problems in Baptist life -- regardless of theological differences.

Faithfulness to God's calling is not as easy to measure as the unholy trinity of baptisms, budgets and buildings or the denominational offices held, but God will hold everyone to His own standards.

(This is not to say that all "successful" ministers are not in perfect obedience to God, but I know too many of them who seem to care more for the perks, power and prestige.)

I'll stop ranting now.

Sad but true. Too many ministers feel that each church they serve is nothing more than a place to prepare for a bigger church, instead of blooming where they're planted.
