Our new president of the North American Mission Board, Dr. Kevin Ezell, recently made disparaging comments toward those pastors, denominational employees, and other ministers who write a public blog. Apparently, Dr. Ezell has little use for “blogging.” He said of those who raised questions concerning his poor giving record to SBC missions over the last several years, "…there are people…[who] …try to get their name in the paper. Typically those are bloggers who live with their mother and wear a housecoat during the day."
Must we remind President Ezell that Drs. Al Mohler and Russell Moore are Southern Baptists' most prolific bloggers?

Oh, but, Peter...surely, Moore and Mohler aren't included in Ezell's verbal scourge. It's just folks like thee. Love those housecoats! selahV

This is the way to be introduced to the SBC at large? Making disparaging remarks to fellow brothers and sisters in Christ? 'Blogging' is simply another way to make a phone call...but reach more people.
Seems like his 'blast' at fellow SBC'ers is limited to those who have questions about his committment to the SBC and NAMB. If he's consistent, he'll surround himself with 'Yes' men and put on the "Maintenance and Grass Cutting Committee" any trustee that dares ask the wrong question or hold him accountable.
The SBC will be watching and vote with their feet and $$$$$.

Kevin Ezell is a unifier. Who else could get you and Wade saying the same thing?
