Dever echoed this sentiment later in the panel, saying he is “excited,” for what could be coming in the convention’s future.
“I can’t help but just see a lot of good things,” Dever said. “I think as a convention we essentially just do whatever we think is consistent with Scripture and helps us pastor local churches. So, I’m kind of excited to see what might happens that ends up being good.”
