Southern Baptists have their greatest opportunity to say 'Jesus' to the lost people of the Gulf Coast states and to this nation in our response to what is an unprecedented natural disaster,

This is a golden opportunity for us to show our Baptist distinctives of believing the Bible and lifting up the Lord Jesus in ministry and reaching people for Jesus Christ.

If you pick the right people and give them the opportunity to spread their wings and put compensation as a carrier behind it you almost don't have to manage them.

We see the political process in Iraq as providing an opportunity to the country to rebuild itself ... we don't see this as dividing Iraq, we favor a unified Iraq,

We already know how to recover from all kinds of disasters. And I thank God for that. But we need to move to the next level. We need to recover from this disaster in a manner that goes well beyond our kinfolks' sake, and moves even closer to the Kingdom's sake. I hope ... that the foundation of our past relief efforts provide that building site where we can help more people recover from disasters of the soul that sin brings to their lives.

Where do you go from here?
