During the final gathering of the Southern Baptist Convention meeting at First Baptist in Bossier City, SBC President Ronnie Floyd told the crowd more Louisiana residents need to believe in the power of God.

“We need the power of God upon our churches and upon our ministries,” said Floyd, pastor of Cross Church in northwest Arkansas. “We have too many pastors and churches that are contented to go forward, doing ministry without the power of God.”

Speaking to messengers during the final session of the Louisiana Baptist Convention Meeting at First Baptist Church in Bossier City, Floyd said too many Southern Baptists are moving away from the mission of God.

“When we move away from the mission of god, you also move away from the power of God,” he said. “And when you move away from the power of God, you don’t have a heart to move toward the mission of God.”
