Cooperative Program giving has a direct impact on our ability as Southern Baptists to reach our states and the nations for Christ.

"Since its genesis in 1925, the Cooperative Program has been the financial backbone of Southern Baptists' Great Commission efforts and it is as relevant today as when our predecessors launched it by faith. Its impact is profound," writes Randy C. Davis, executive director of the Tennessee Baptist Convention.

Like farmers, pastors and church leaders work their fields toward an anticipated harvest, Randy Davis writes. Never pause midseason, the Tennessee Baptist Convention's executive director exhorts. "Plow in hope while looking forward to that day when our heavenly Father reveals the fruit of the harvest."

Randy Davis, executive director of the Tennessee Baptist Convention, underscores the call of Lottie Moon, who asked: "Why should we not … do something that will prove that we are really in earnest in claiming to be followers of Him who, though He was rich, for our sake became poor?"

Randy C. Davis, executive director of the Tennessee Baptist Convention, addresses the issue of assisted suicide and "three theological pillars" that can help during "soul-shattering moments at death's door."

Tenn. Baptist leader Randy Davis calls Southern Baptists to "lift together" to reach the world for Christ. Underscoring the SBC's Cooperative Program, Davis writes, "Billions of spiritual paralytics need to be carried to the feet of Jesus. They desperately need us to cooperate in getting them there."

Baptist leader Randy Davis says a federal judge's decision to overturn Tennessee's ban on same-sex marriage foolishly attempts to nullify God's law. Davis encourages pastors and laypeople to proclaim the truth about human sexuality with grace and love.
