Founders Ministries | For the Recovery of the Gospel and Reformation of Churches | 1689 |
The purpose of Founders Ministries is the recovery of the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ in the reformation of local churches. We believe intrinsic to this recovery is the promotion of the Doctrines of Grace in their experiential application to the local church particularly in the areas of worship and witness. This is to be accomplished through a variety of means focusing on conferences and including publication, education, pastoral training and other opportunities consistent with the purpose. Each of the ministries will be developed with special attention to achieve a healthy integration of doctrine and devotion.
Is the SBC a servant of God and Scripture or the state and politicians? Should not the SBC drop 501c3 and remove the appearance and influence of being unequivocally yoked with pagans and Mammon?
WHen the SBC and SIL have teachers and preachers who don't believe the copyrighted books they preach from in the pulpit, how can you expect more from the sheep in the pews?
#divinecallministries7 From the Desk Dr. Donna Williams Smith Can Women be Called to Preach (e.g. Teach Scripture)? Foundational Scripture: Galatians. 3: 28 Amplified "There is [now no distinction in regard to salvation] neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you [who believe] are all one in Christ Jesus [no one can claim a spiritual superiority] [Rom 3: 22; 1 Cor 12: 13]." THAT SAID...this female, called of God Evangelist & teacher agrees with good men who teach that it is perhaps God’s “ideal” that men head households, protect families, and stand as head Pastors and Teachers - I don’t doubt that. Nevertheless, there are historical variants. INTERESTINGLY, the Bible has numerous accounts (OT & NT; Miriam, Deborah, Jael, Esther, Hulda, Anna, Pricilla, Syntyche, Euodia, Phoebe & Lydia, etc.) of Jehovah God commissioning women as Prophets, Judges, Queens, Elders & deacons and even carrying out judgments over men when it meets His Sovereign purposes to do so (Judges 4: 21). CONSEQUENTLY, although some passages of Scripture read in isolation seem to exclude women from Church leadership (1 Timothy 2:11-12; 1 Corinthians 14:33-36) the entire Canon of Scripture studied expansively seems to contradict that conclusion. SO THAT IT SEEMS SELF-SERVING or disingenuous for certain male church leaders to continually rail against it based on Scripture verses that address situational issues (spiritual or culturally specific crisis) within a specific church, and not doctrinal absolutes, normative for all times (1 Cor. 14:34; 1 Tim. 2: 11, 12; Gen. 3: 16). e.g. Jeremiah 31: 15-22 THUS SAYS THE LORD…How long will you waver and hesitate [to return], O you backsliding daughter? For the Lord has created a new thing in the land [of Israel]: a female shall compass (woo, win, and protect) a man. CONCLUSION: GOD DOES AS HE PLEASES.
Just about every man on this panel is wearing the image of jealousy of a graven image. The Symbolism that they are wearing has the connections to Freemasonry Symbolism which is tied into the roots of Greek Mythology this is idolatry and is more of an Abomination than the weakness and the shortcomings of the flesh in which Christ died for the weakness and the shortcomings of the flesh. This panel even have the image of jealousy on the background of the stage in order for the whole world to see Ezekiel 8:3-16 And he put forth the form of an hand, and took me by a lock of mine head; and the spirit lifted me up between the earth and the heaven, and brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the door of the inner gate that looketh toward the north; where was the seat of the image of jealousy, which provoketh to jealousy. 4 And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel was there, according to the vision that I saw in the plain. 5 Then said he unto me, Son of man, lift up thine eyes now the way toward the north. So I lifted up mine eyes the way toward the north, and behold northward at the gate of the altar this image of jealousy in the entry. 6 He said furthermore unto me, Son of man, seest thou what they do? even the great abominations that the house of Israel committeth here, that I should go far off from my sanctuary? but turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations. 7 And he brought me to the door of the court; and when I looked, behold a hole in the wall. 8 Then said he unto me, Son of man, dig now in the wall: and when I had digged in the wall, behold a door. 9 And he said unto me, Go in, and behold the wicked abominations that they do here. 10 So I went in and saw; and behold every form of creeping things, and abominable beasts, and all the idols of the house of Israel, pourtrayed upon the wall round about. 11 And there stood before them seventy men of the ancients of the house of Israel, and in the midst of them stood Jaazaniah the son of Shaphan, with every man his censer in his hand; and a thick cloud of incense went up. 12 Then said he unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen what the ancients of the house of Israel do in the dark, every man in the chambers of his imagery? for they say, the Lord seeth us not; the Lord hath forsaken the earth. 13 He said also unto me, Turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations that they do. 14 Then he brought me to the door of the gate of the Lord's house which was toward the north; and, behold, there sat women weeping for Tammuz. 15 Then said he unto me, Hast thou seen this, O son of man? turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations than these. 16 And he brought me into the inner court of the Lord's house, and, behold, at the door of the temple of the Lord, between the porch and the altar, were about five and twenty men, with their backs toward the temple of the Lord, and their faces toward the east; and they worshipped the sun toward the east. Freemasonry Symbolism is an image of jealousy and is an Abomination unto the Lord these men with there dignified high education are to blind to see that they are involved in Idolatry www.udc.edu/student-life/greek-life/ God bless 🙌 🙏
Deuteronomy 4:2 ASV Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish from it, that ye may keep the commandments of Jehovah your God which I command you.
One of the components of social justice is the idea we are a democracy. That idea is not entirely true. Yes, we may vote for a president but the president does not need a majority vote nationally to be elected. An elected president only needs a greater number of electoral votes. Our system government does not create laws by popular vote. We are a representative republic with checks and balances. The hegemony is influencing the masses into believing we are a democracy when it's manifestly not true as of yet. A democracy is a dangerous type of government that most certainly would be an oppressive government ruled by the tyranny of the masses. Persuade enough people and they can oppress whomever they wish to oppress and call it justice.
Love your content here guys. I’m not particularly set in my way of handling children and the corporate worship service. I’m always open to new ideas that may work better. I have to be honest and say I picked up on a bit of strawmanning and even a little gaslighting in this episode. Again, I really enjoy the content and will continue to learn from you, those are just my impressions of this episode.
35:00 Having wondered the halls of Evangelicalism into being Reformed Baptist, I agree. Denominations are good, because they define what we think our church should look like. Outside the Denomination, we don't need to fight beyond essentials. Because we accept my church isn't your church.
This is terrifying. The theory that one particular strain of Christianity needs dominance in American public policy is grotesquely unAmerican. This is disgusting fascism...a psychotic worldview that elevates its adherents above all others. Let's pray that these monsters are stopped.
There is 2 PCA churches in my presbytery that has deaconesses listed on their website. Hopefully this will be taken care of. It's kind of embarrassing when someone outside the PCA tells me he knows a PCA church that has female deacons. I argue and say no way only to be proven wrong.
Jesus Calling is garbage and i cant believe it even has to be "studied". Do we have to study the satanic bible to know its bad?Jesus Calling teaches that hearing words directly from Jesus and then sharing these words with others is the normal Christian experience. There, study done. My wife had this piece of garbage on her bookshelf next to Rick Warren's Purpose Driven Life. Both went in the garbage. I didnt even want anyone at Goodwill to get these books.
Catholics say papacy is supported by early church fathers, but they use very vague statements by them to prove it even though the doctrine of the papacy was developed over thousands of years. They have a system where the pope can in some instances say infallible statements! How could they do such a thing for a doctrine not explicitly supported by the church fathers! I'll say it again: THEY HAVE INSTANCES WHERE THE POPE CAN SAY AN "INFALLIBLE" STATEMENT They must reform the Catholic Church

29:24 I think Richard Land opened the door when he used the ERLC to advocate amnesty for illegal aliens. That got them started on the road of the ERLC being used to impose elite opinion on the grassroots Southern Baptists. Everybody knew back then in the early 2010s that Southern Baptists as a group had no consensus in support of amnesty for illegal aliens. It was unethical, and it set the precedent for Russell Moore's many wicked misadventures wrought falsely in the name of Southern Baptists.
Why is Megan not a Debra ? Judges 4 and 5. Why is there no man filling this void for info concerning "Follow the money.". Sometimes women have to pick up a weapon and help educate and encourage the people to win the war. A pastor is a very different role than the speakers role Megan that played to provide info allowing others (men) to lead how to respond.
Ah, the struggles of being a single christian woman. There are way more women in my church than men. Finding a man who loves and serves the Lord and is single seems just about impossible nowadays
This guy is treating the Bible as truth. Well, here's what it says -- God (two times) threatens Adam & Eve to not eat of the fruit lest they die. They go ahead and eat. But they don't die. God lied. If any part of the Bible is not true then likely much other parts are too.
Thanks for this, brothers. I'm a Presbyterian but go to a southern baptist church. I appreciate the insight as I'm not super familiar with the workings of the sbc.
@25:41 "The wages of sin is ---eternal conscious torment--- death." @36:11 "It would be enough if we just missed hell." So, which is it, Dr. Baucham? Are the wages of sin hell or are they death? Inquiring minds want to know.
In most Old School Baptist Churches Elders are all ordained men, there are deacons who are also only men, and the ‘lead pastor’ is called the moderator.
Someone please help me understand how a woman being regularly platformed by pastors and leaders, recommended by pastors to other pastors for her expertise on false shepherds and wolves in the church, and asked to speak on this very pastoral subject to a room full of men at a lunch hosted by the Center for Baptist Leadership… is not also a violation of 1 Timothy 2:11-13?
Probably because the SBC interpretation of those verses currently limits the application of those verses to teaching within the church and authority in the church and I presume she spoke at the general assemblies/meetings and not behind the pulpit in a worship or other church service. There is also a huge difference between being an “authority” about something which typically just means you are an expert and having authority. Megan is an authority because she’s an expert but she doesn’t have authority because there is no mechanism by which she exerts control over the people she was speaking to. Someone could do the opposite of what she recommends or simply refuse to do any of it and she has no authority to make them. It’s a subtle but important distinction. I suspect you draw broader boundaries than the vast majority of SBC churches when it comes to these verses. Which to be frank is part of the issue with the female preachers/pastors question. My church has a female worship leader and it’s a very old school and conservative church. But she doesn’t choose the songs and she doesn’t do any preaching within the music, it’s simply her job to try and keep the band together and then to be the lead vocal for the congregation to join in with. Most in the SBC would have no problem with her being in that position. But a different church might call that position the worship or music pastor as opposed to leader. So if a woman is in the same position as our worship leader but holds the name pastor is that a problem? Is a change of titles a sufficient resolution?
@@TGuard00014 Thank you, you make some good points. You’re right, my understanding of the text concerning women has broader implications. While many pastors rightly teach that the prohibition in verse 12 concerns the order of worship, my husband and I don’t believe that this is limited to the Sunday gathering, just as praying for our rulers, leading quiet lives, men praying everywhere without wrath and doubting, and women dressing modestly according to good works are not limited to the Sunday gathering (verses 1-2, 8-10). In other words, what is commanded for women in the church has application for everyday life in the home and in society as well, according to our nature and the created order.
As discussed, the amendment to not allow female pastors within churches under the SBC did not pass this year. Did someone ask for it to be voted on in 2025 and if passed, vote again in 2026 or will that need to wait until 2025 to ask to bring to another initial vote in 2026 and if passed in 2026, vote again in 2027?
This was the second consecutive vote. It passed last year with 80% votes. SBC rules, for it to pass it has to be voted in favor two years in a row. I don’t know what it looks like to try again
Were there any 'senior' pastors in the NT churches? Were they not all multiple-elder led? Was not the position of elder limited to qualified men? That the Law amendment did not pass unanimously says something about the state of the SBC (and it is not good).
Most people dont hate christ but martyrs and zealots those who pervert religion for the ignorance as all christians faiths are break off of catholism which was around 1000 years before any other christianty and im doubtful it was englush
