The Biblical Emphasis on Pastors and Their Authority: Where is It? Romans 15:14
via The Biblical Emphasis on Pastors and Their Authority: Where is It? Romans 15:14
Do you know how expensive and ineffective world missions are in the institutional church? It’s horrific, and mostly predicated on Western arrogance. I have heard missionaries say it: “Without our academic wherewithal, effective ministry is impossible.” Behold the arrogance: after hundreds of years of trial and error and oceans of ink used in the pontification of orthodoxy, 1600 people a day leave the church and become Nones or Dones. 1500 pastors per month leave the ministry for good. But yet, the church continues to export this failed model overseas on the financial backs of the laity. It’s beyond insane.
LGBT Will Be an Accepted Community Within the Evangelical Church and Looking Forward to TANC 2019
The American church is a different dynamic to consider as the church returns to its original unconfused orthodoxy which will lead to mass confusion being accepted because truth is authority according to church. Simply stated, because the great unwashed cannot understand, it is assumed that truth is merely masquerading as confusion. “We must trust those God has appointed over us as his preordained to ‘save God’s people from ignorance.'”
In this video, Paul explains three principles that will lead to the acceptance of the LGBT community into the church: necessity, authentic church doctrine, and a return to philosophy as foundational truth led by the likes of Tim Keller. To not accept the LGBT community into the church would, in fact, be a contradiction to Catholic/Protestant soteriology.
Paul closes by emphasizing the TANC research focus divided into history, justification, sanctification, and philosophy and its relevance to our TANC 2019 online conference.
Remember, in America, people cannot be compelled to join church by state force; not yet, anyway. Hence, because church is an institution and all institutions are dependent on money as its life blood, the survival of the American church will always depend on inclusion. As its false gospel resulting in bad fruit drives people out, it must manipulate additional people groups to come in. This is essential for its survival.
