CBF--Wow

So I, for some odd reason, get the news magazine of the CBF. I usually toss it. This time I picked it up and read a bit of it. I found something very interesting. Listen to this. There was an ad on page 5 of the June edition that said,

"Why I give... "I believe it's so important to support CBF because together we are fighting oppression in many different forms–race, gender, socio-economic. There are few organizations out there like CBF, which looks at difficult situations and then gets involved in being part of the solutions." Tiffany Kellogg, Richmond, VA.

Tiffany Kellogg's grandfather, pastor jerry Barnes, introduced her to CBG many years ago. But it was a "burnging bush experience" at a Passport camp that reinforced her call to ministry. Since then, Kellogg, 29, has been an active pleader in CBF life, including becoming the youngest member of the CBF of Oklahoma Coordinating Council at age 24.

"I felt called, and I was looking for a place to serve where I, as a woman, could have a voice," said Kellogg. "CBF of Oklahoma offered me that place, with the Baptist distinctives I so love."

So, I surmise that her involvement has nothing to do with sharing the gospel. It appears to be more about fighting oppression. Nothing in the ad said anything about Jesus or sharing the gospel. I find that odd. Sure the rest of the magazine mentioned being missional, but this ad disturbs me. It seems we have this all inclusive ideal out there which some feel we MUST have, even at the cost of calling sin truth. I could go on and on, but who's reading this anyway?
