SBC’s Richard Land to speak at The Country Church

By staff - Mar 2, 2006 - comment

Dr. Richard Land, president of the Southern Baptist Convention’s Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission, will be speaking at The Country Church in Marion, Texas, during their Spring Bible Conference March 5-8.

“Dr. Land, like possibly no other person, speaks as the Christian conscience of America,” said Elton “Butch” Ikels, pastor of The Country Church, who will also speak during the conference. “His presentation is biblical; his insight keenly accurate; and his preaching anointed.”

Dr. Alan Street, professor of evangelism at Criswell College; Dr. Rander Draper, pastor of Maranatha Bible Church in San Antonio; and Dr. Sal Seberna, pastor of Metropolitan Baptist Church in Houston, will join Ikels and Land on the list of conference speakers.

“South Texas has an opportunity to hear some of America’s most anointed preachers,” Ikels said.

The conference’s Sunday services will begin at 10:30 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. The evening services March 6 – 8 also start at 7:00 p.m. each night.

The conference includes childcare for children up to 3 years old and a free hamburger supper March 5 from 5 to 6 p.m. The Relations Quartet will provide gospel music throughout the conference.

Ikels said all are welcome to come and hear “music that will lift your heart toward heaven and preaching that will show you how to get there.”

Thank you for your interest in the ministry of the Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission (SBC).

Comments are moderated to preserve the family-oriented nature of this website and in an attempt to avoid comment spam. We welcome opposing viewpoints, and we will not turn comments away as long as your views are presented with respect to everyone.

Your comments will not appear immediately and are subject to editing or deletion. We will make every attempt to check new comments in a timely manner, though there will likely be delays on the weekends and around holidays.

Please follow the these guidelines to insure your comments will be posted:

  1. Use a real name, at least a real first name. We find folks are less-rude online when not hiding behind a screen-name.
  2. Name-calling and vulgar-language will not be tolerated. Zero-tolerance is our policy. We will not spend time editing profanity. If it contains foul language, your post will be deleted. Oh, and we decide what is and what is not vulgar.
  3. Comments must be on topic. General comments (compliments, complaints, and otherwise) are best delivered here or expressed on your own personal Web site.
  4. And please, do not type in ALL CAPS. It looks like you're screaming at people.

Additionally, within Baptist polity, please recognize that many issues and decisions are addressed at a local church level. SBC denominational (national) offices have no control and desire no control over the activities of a local church. This entity is not responsible for overseeing and insuring the ethical behavior of Southern Baptist pastors or church members. If your concern involves a legal civil or criminal matter, we suggest you contact the proper local officials.

Issues involving pastoral staff or other church members, local Baptist associations or state Baptist conventions are local issues. Therefore the Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission cannot and should not address such issues. While we regret we are unable to assist you, we encourage you to seek a biblical resolution of the issue at the local church level. If your question or submission pertains to a matter covered in this text, it is likely we will not acknowledge your submission.

Other than that, we welcome you and hope to see thoughtful discussions at ERLC.com
