Who Will Cast the Last Stone?

Rumor has it that "stoning" is making a comeback in the Missouri Baptist Convention. Well, maybe not literal stoning but the denominational equivalence.

In case you're wondering whether you're a "stoner" or a potential "stonee", here's the way it's going these days in the Missouri Baptist Convention.

If you've ever been reluctant to say Jesus changed water into non-alcoholic wine or at the very least watered down wine at Cana.........
You will be stoned.

If you've ever watched and discussed the spiritual implications of a movie like "The Bucket List" with a group of believers in an official church meeting........
You will be stoned.

If you've ever scheduled an outreach meeting at a restaurant or other establishment for the purpose of engaging the culture with the gospel, and alcohol was being sold or consumed.....
You will be stoned.

If you hold a favorable impression of the Acts 29 Network, The Journey Church in St. Louis, Mark Driscoll or Darrin Patrick.......
You will be stoned.

If your church supports an Acts 29 network Church........
You will be stoned.

We already know who is willing to cast the first stone. The question is "Who will be willing to cast the last stone?"
