Divorce and Christian Service Part 9
God’s Call, Your Call, or the Church’s Call? Part 2 I fear that some evangelists, pastors, and teachers that have been called and doing the work for years and years have grasped on to the coat-tail of a high brow and well-known figure in the IFB. They feel that they have “arrived” since they have seen…

Rouse, then, soldiers! Rally round the banner!
I was told many years ago that if you don’t stand for something, you’ll fall for anything. 4 key phrases in the following verses that should call your Spirit to action. 1 Samuel 17:29 – And David said, What have I now done? Is there not a cause? 2 Samuel 12:7 – And Nathan said to David, Thou art…

Divorce & Christian Service Part 8
God’s Call, Your Call, or the Church’s Call? Part 1 Many times, IFB churches make it so obvious that autonomy and indigenous, as it relates to the call of God on a church member’s life, is under their complete control. This begs the question of “who’s call is it anyway?” It’s so unfortunate that IFB…

Ordination Procedure
Ordination Procedure – I just want to make a couple of comments about the below excerpt from a local IFB church’s “articles of faith.” The IFB church conducts themselves as if they have ecclesiastical power to confer. Keep this in mind before proceeding: 1 Timothy 1:12 “And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath…

Baptist Restoration
Baptist Restoration – Without a lesson on the satanic calvinist teaching, I want to draw one comparison to Baptist forgiveness and restoration. “Calvinism teaches that before any humans were born, God picked out which of us would spend eternity with Him and which ones would end up in eternal conscious torment. That’s about as clear…

Disregard Man’s View; Follow God’s Call Part 2 Romans12:3 “For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.” Shame on…

Call With A Burden Part 2
In my previous post, Part 1, I mentioned this: “The burden of the call I consider is enveloped with this thought, where are those that once attended church?” This primary thought still is a driving premise for planting a church. So, today, I stepped out with a purpose in search of a church building. I met…

Qualified Or To Be Qualified
No matter what excuse you bring to God as to why you cannot be used by Him, the answer is always the same—I’ll be with you. God, I’m too weak morally, spiritually, physically. I’ll be with you. God, I have no skills or talents—I’m totally unqualified. I’ll be with you. God, I’m not smart and…

Divorce and Christian Service Part 6
Disregard Man’s View; Follow God’s Call Part 1 Consider the roll call of God’s imperfect heroes: The talent pool has always been pretty thin when it comes to moral perfection. Noah got drunk. Abraham lied about his wife. Jacob was a deceiver. Moses murdered an Egyptian. Gideon Feared King Saul had a séance with a…

Divorce and Christian Service Part 5
IFB and Social Classing Part 2 – Divorce and Christian Service Divorce and Christian Service – I submit that there are no qualified pastors or deacons. No man can, without error, keep and or maintain the qualifications in Titus and 1 Timothy. So, dear pastor or deacon, now that you are disqualified……………… What sayest thou?…
