Please accept this heartfelt thank you to everyone who lifted up a prayer on the behalf of my family, my church, and myself. Your emails, prayers, and phone calls were very special to me. You have no idea of how much your kind words and prayers have ministered to me during this time. It isn’t my intention to incite conflict, as some have speculated, but I feel a true calling from the Lord to gain clarity in this matter for our convention. I will be posting more updates in the future, but in the mean time my position on this subject matter can be found in three statements posted on my church’s website www.cbcarlington.org. Once again, thank you for your prayers, phone calls, and emails because each one has ministered to me in a special way. May the peace of God be with you during this test of our faith.
Humbly Serving Christ,
Wm. Dwight McKissic, Sr.

Welcome, Rev. McKissic.
The only advice I have is to heed Art Rogers’ comment.
Looking forward.

Dear Dwight,
Welcome! I appreciate your well-spoken and timely defense of a position that I share and practice as well. I’m glad you’re persevering through the storm. Keep up the humble but strong stand for inclusion. Lots of folks are praying, even from around the world, for an SBC that is more cooperative in missions.
Grace and peace,
Todd

Brother Dwight,
Thank you my friend for your courageous and Christ-like handling of a matter of theology where many of us believe we should be able to have some disagreement without division.
As Todd writes, may God enable you with an empowerment that allows you to continue “a humble but strong stand for inclusion.” Thanks again brother and welcome!
For His Glory,
Darren

I’ve been praying for you as well. There’s a link on my blog to your site, and as a relatively new blogger myself, I am looking forward to the experience of reading yours.
Your chapel sermon was, well, awesome!

Welcome to the SBC blogosphere. I appreciate your courageous stand for what you—and I also—believe the Bible to say about this one particular issue. I pray that God will use all of this to bring true unity to the SBC that is based on a solid agreement on the essentials with freedom to disagree on secondary matters.

Dr. McKissic,
I am very excited to see that you have begun a blog. I am anxious to continue to read your thoughts on PPL as well other issues of our day. This is a great medium that you will most likely really enjoy communicating through.
Blessings!

Glad you’re here, Dr. McKissic. I am in agreement with you on this issue and I am praying that the SBC will be big enough for both cessationists and continualists to work together to see the nations come to Christ. It will truly be a dark day if we divide over this. God bless you!
