The church which Jesus promises to build upon a rock is the blessed company of all believing people. It is not the visible church of any one nation, or country, or place. It is the whole body of believers of every age, and tongue, and people. It is a c…

Recently, John MacArthur read Psalm 37 in the Legacy Standard Bible (LSB) at his church.
Yesterday we released an article describing concerns over egalitarianism in NAMB church plants. Since then, the most frequent question we’ve received is whether or not these are current NAMB churches. Each of these churches was verified on the NAMB church plant database prior to publication. Each church was re-verified today and that is documented below. […]

The post How Deep The Rot Goes: Female Pastors and the SBC appeared first on Founders Ministries.
The recent news about North American Mission Board church plants identifying women in their congregation as pastors may have piqued your interest in what the process is like for those interested in planting. Some insight can be found on the Southern Baptist subreddit on Reddit.com in a thread named “Church planter in residence at an […]
The post Planting a Church with the North American Mission Board: What is it Like? appeared first on Conservative Resurgence: Voices.
The heart is the principal thing in the relation of husband and wife, of friend and friend, of parent and child. The heart must be the principal point to which we attend in all the relations between God and our souls. What is the first thing we need in…
See article one here, article two here, and article three here. Critique #3- Dispensationalism Has No Concept of the Law/Gospel Distinction in Scripture By way of drawing this article to a conclusion, the third and final critique of Dispensationalism’s approach to interpreting Scripture will center upon its non-existent conception of the Law/Gospel distinction.[1] Due to Dispensationalism’s refusal […]
As noted in a prior post, I have begun a new blog series—called “Bully Pulpit”—on the growing problem of spiritual abuse in the church. Before we get too far down the road, we have to pause and define exactly what we mean by spiritual abuse.
We begin b…
There was one nation in human history that had perfect laws–Old Covenant theocratic Israel; and yet, generation after generation were just as wicked–or more wicked–than the nations around them. So bad were the injustices in Israel that the prophet H…
The North American Mission Board (NAMB) has an egalitarian problem. How big of a problem largely depends, in my opinion, on the willingness of NAMB leadership to speak with clarity to this issue. Two weeks ago, it was revealed that a Florida NAMB church plant had a husband and wife as dual Lead Pastors. It […]
The post NAMB and SBC Egalitarianism appeared first on Conservative Resurgence: Voices.
Southern Baptists are a great-commission people. As a result, Southern Baptists are a church-planting people. Southern Baptist are also a confessional people who, as a result, have real clarity on what the important terms “church” and “pastor” mean according to Scripture. This clarity allows Southern Baptists to accomplish what they intend in church planting, namely […]
The post Time to Contact NAMB Trustees. Here’s How. appeared first on Conservative Resurgence: Voices.
The Church must preach God’s law. We are not trying to get justified through obedience to the law. We preach law to help the lost see they are lost. It was after all, Paul, who said,What then shall we say? That the law is sin? By no means! Yet if it ha…
Just Keachy I suppose every post must start somewhere. This one begins in 1673 – the year Benjamin Keach decided to apply Matthew 26:30 tangibly to his church at Horsleydown in London. I suppose I should also mention Keach was Baptist before it was cool; before there was so much Great Commission™ money. This was before the […]

Approximately one year ago the Southern Baptist Convention’s Executive Committee formed a task force to “review the past and present activities” of the Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission (ERLC). The Baptist Press reporting on the Task Force’s formation is a helpful refresher: The Executive Committee action comes in response to “ongoing concerns” cited by EC […]

Scut Farkus.
When it comes to movie bullies, perhaps he is one of the most famous. In the classic film A Christmas Story (1983), the red-headed Scut—wearing a coonskin cap and flanked by his shorter partner in crime, Grover Dill—would often torment you…

Critique #2- Dispensationalism’s Inconsistency on Sensus Plenior and New Testament Interpretive Priority A survey of the New Testament’s use of the Old Testament reveals at least two essential distinctives about the hermeneutic of Scripture.

The post Strong and Courageous: Why Resisting Tyrants is an Act of Love appeared first on Founders Ministries.
One of the strongest admonitions of the Mosaic law to the nation of Israel was straightforward: idolatry will bring destruction to the people. Even if your very wife should secretly entice you to worship other gods, you are to expose her and be the first to cast the stone to end her life (Deu. 13:6-11). Such detestation of idolatry requires […]
During a panel discussion hosted by Covenant Baptist Theological Seminary, Tom Ascol, Sam Waldron, and Ron Miller address the subject of the Power of Preaching in Tumultuous Times.
In Part 6, we discussed how Augustine would have refuted such claims that he either remained a Manichee or that he would sneak in some of their beliefs which were not in the Christian Church up to that point. As I have been continuing my reading through Augustine’s works, I came across some direct refutations …
