INDIANAPOLIS (BP)--Like Nehemiah of the Old Testament, Southern Baptists should be wall builders, Steve Gaines, pastor of First Baptist Church in Gardendale, Ala., declared to the Southern Baptist Convention June 16.
"America is in desperate need of some spiritual wall builders," Gaines said during the convention sermon at the Indianapolis Convention Center. "Our spiritual walls in America have crumbled because as a whole we have turned our backs on the Lord Jesus Christ.... Southern Baptists, God is calling us to be spiritual wall builders."

The Southern Baptist convention also voted overwhelmingly to quit the World Baptist Alliance, because the SBC considers the rest of the Baptists to be too liberal, and even anti-american because they question the literal truth of God's Word, promote wimmen preachers, and think that homo-sexuals should be allowed to live.
