There is a move afoot to label and punish Southern Baptists who read and share Christian blogs. The proposal surfaced in a now deleted tweet by an Associate Professor at Oklahoma Baptist University. Matt Emerson leader of Baptist Renewal and most troubling of all an Auburn alum suggested a resolution against negative Christian blogs.
He tweeted, “I think we need a resolution – something like ‘On Slander and Gossip Disguised as ‘Discernment Blogging’ – at SBC 2020.”
Amplifying this, he wants to crackdown on pew sitters and pastors who dare to share these blogs.
He tweeted, “I think, in addition to condemning such unchristian behavior, it should include language that encourages local churches to discipline members who engage in it and that repeated, known, undisciplined offenses in this regard – esp by pastors – ought to be grounds for disfellowship.
