Interview with Dr. Josh Buice on Leaving the SBC
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 янв 2022
- A few days ago Dr. Josh Buice made big news when he announced that he and his fellow elders made the decision to lead their church, Prays Mill Baptist, out of the SBC. They cited the liberal drift in the convention as their primary reason. In today’s video, I interview Josh about their decision and ask him how he answers those who say there is no liberal drift.

Thanks Justin, I believe informed congregations can make informed godly decisions. We voted 100% to leave the SBC and are in the process of doing so. Same words, the SBC left us. We support local missions now. Great interview.
Thank you, Andy. I think your church did the right thing. Blessings to you.
Your church is doing the right thing. Your church is acting in unity with His word.
@@JustinPetersMin yes it makes me sad it has come to this
A had to leave my Southern Baptist church of over 15 years because they went all out with the SBC. Forty days with Rick Warren was the straw that broke the camels back. Hillsong rock, everything painted black, smoke machines, etc. The days are surely getting darker. But we have to take a stand and let the light of Jesus shine.
Amen sister
Instead of the bible changing people ........ people are changing the bible. Sickening
The most powerful message in that interview, was the reminder that we are all going to have to give an account of our lives before Christ.
👏👏👏 Good to see good pastors taking a public stand for good theology. This is so important because us congregants may confuse silence on important theological issues as indifference from our pastors concerning the issue or even endorsement of it! God bless you Pastor Justin & Pastor Josh
Yes. Additionally, if a church remains part of the SBC then that church usually gives money to the SBC for various reasons, thus funding false teachings. I was raised from the cradle in SBC churches. Both my Brother and Father are SBC Pastors. Though they in no way condone homosexuality or any of the other false doctrines condoned by the SBC, they refuse to look at the current state of sin within the SBC. It's like they are in blind denial. I myself have separated from the SBC because I must serve God rather than men and traditions.
Good to see you Mukoma here 😊
@@standinginthegap7118 that is because they're blinded with hate. Because they teach a Bible a theology full of fear shame and rejection and they are blinded by their own hate gay people were created by God. I'm 60 years old I should know I've been born gay my whole life I've been gay I'm going to be gay when I die. The perversion that has been justified by your ministries is incredulous. You know everybody knows pedophiles are in the church and they're hiding by slamming gay people. Justin Peter I have been following you for a long time I apologize for what I said the other day it was kind of rude but if you knew the damage the untold damage you have done and every preacher has done by condemning gay people y'all shame to them and now they're shaming y'all Jesus is pulling down the church we believe that and if y'all want to go in different ways please go and quit advertising that filth on our television you've turned this ministry into a conversion reparative therapy for the whole world no no my friend look in the Tower of Babel now. y'all called and said we were the Antichrist if you don't believe me go search the damage that's been done we're not going to war we're going to tell the truth and Jesus and God. And if you go listen to gay people's stories they'll tell you that God said it was okay to come out of the honest and truthful.
They say the Antichrist is a womanizer how coincidence. I have a 12-year-old letter I wrote to God and I'll read it to you I'll bring it over I'll talk to you about anything I promise y'all. I need you to hear me for MacArthur as well. God created gay children just what you see is a reality. Gay people are a part of civil rights. Black people are a part of civil rights. Freedom of religion does it mean enshrining your your religion into our legislation and then get paid by big lobbyist. And I promise you focus on the family and James Dobson is evil. The things y'all asked us to do, in the name of God under enshrined. Just because you can't see and understand the text in Romans. Does it mean other people can't see. Other people get and they could see it. Other people make this shift ask God to help you I. To see homosexuality as a natural variation. We're just like heterosexual. But opposite. ❤️ I pray with all my heart that all y'all's eyes be opened and new winskins be made for you all 🌈🙏😇
@@peshyj2546 this makes me happy there are more Zimbabweans who watch Justin Peters
Yes lm very happy too. This is exciting 😊. Could not find people to discuss these issues and have these conversations.
Great interview! I was at the SBC in June and saw all those things Josh spoke about. It is sad. I’m thankful for the faithfulness of Josh and praying for my pastor, myself and all Christians to remember that we must stand before Christ. We must seek to please God, not man.
It isn't easy. We had to walk away from the SBC.
Praising and thanking God for Pastor Josh standing for the authority of the Scripture alone.🙏🙏🙏
It would sadden me if my denomination broke up, or if we had to leave as a church. And, this actually may happen in the very near future. We must follow Christ and not a denomination. We are here to glorify God.
Thank you for this video. I hope this will give others the courage to stand against this liberal insanity.
Once a person comes to understand the New Covenant promised to Israel and Judah in Jeremiah 31:31-34, which is found fulfilled by Christ during the first century in Hebrews 8:6-13, and Hebrews 10:16-18, and specifically applied to the Church in 2 Corinthians 3:6-8, and Hebrews 12:22-24, man-made Bible doctrines fall apart.
I came into the SBC a little over 40 years ago just as "The Battle for the Bible" was starting to heat up. I said then and still hold the same opinion; "We lost that fight because we allowed wordsmiths to work out a surrender that looked like a victory." I saw all of the hedging on words, their meaning slightly changed, etc...I almost left then. But where was I to go? I could not see the words of life any where else. So I stayed, sought out others of like mind, and worked with them. I'm sorry to see this happen on one hand; and I glad to see it on the other hand. But I'm not worried about it, "for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day." This is just my Lord seperating sheep from goats...God bless you Brother Justin, thank you for all the Lord does with you...🎥📽📀🎞
Well spoken
Why do Baptists always say "BABtist?"
@@jonathandoelander6130 It's the southern accent you're hearing.
@@Peter-yt7xm - How many dimensions are there?
How many do you exist in?
Have you ever heard of “figures of speech”?
Have you ever used language that conveyed a message, yet the words were not technically used in accordance with their definition?
Are you an atheist?
Or, do you think that there is a God (or gods). But in your opinion, is it just that the Bible’s God doesn’t exist?
The Bible actually teaches that all matter is an illusion to some degree. It isn’t real. It is energy. (E= MC squared). All matter in the Universe exists as vibrating energy held together by the intentional purpose & decree of God. Pretty good description of what Physics tell us today. And Quantum physics may even align better with the Bible than traditional physics does.
"Since Satan cannot destroy the gospel, he has too often neutralized its usefulness by addition, subtraction or substitution."

Finally, another inspiring video from a real man of God.
Thanks, Elliott - blessings to you, brother.
@@JustinPetersMinHello Mr. Peters, Can non-denominational churches be either directly or indirectly a part of the SBC?
Hope you are doing well Justin. It was about one year ago that we left our SBC church. Over the course of about a year (2020) we had been watching some things take place that really caused us some concern, specifically the events surrounding the 2019 convention. We were introduced to a number of individuals like you who were instrumental in your teachings concerning false doctrine, weakness in the pulpit, etc, etc. We researched for about a year covering many things from a number of teachers including the Kozars, McArthur, P. Johnson, F4F, P. Washer, and many others prior to our decision to leave. My wife and I share in Dr Buice’s comments concerning the SBC’s issues with inerrancy & sufficiency. We have looked at it from the perspective that the SBC has added to the Scripture in the way that the Mormons have added the Book of Mormon. In short it would seem the SBC has somehow determined that what God said in His word wasn’t enough, and they have sought out man’s wisdom to supplement what they have deemed to be a failure on God’s part to sufficiently handle. As I stated to the pastor upon leaving “My problem is not that they voted on it (CRT&I) nor that it passed. My problem is that it was up for a vote to begin with. It should have been rejected out of hand.” It’s grieving that so many have bought into this horrific ideology.
Question.. when you left SBC what demonation did you go to?! Hope that's not offensive I am honestly just curious..😅
@@TheNugentc
Why would you have to change denominations?
I go to a Baptist church that isn’t a part of the SBC.
In fact I’ve been to other Baptist churches in the past who aren’t a part of the SBC.
@@dianem6951 To be fair though, I've seen many 'Baptist' churches that have wholly embraced a progressive ideology, so at this point, the label doesn't seem to matter much anymore, but instead knowing a church's specific statement of faith and whether the lead pastor's teaching is biblically sound. For example, one of the largest 'Baptist' churches in my area is lead by a openly lesbian pastor and has an openly gay youth pastor. They fly the rainbow, trans, bisexual etc flags outside their building. Progressive ideology is spreading through the church like wildfire, and choosing a church simply by the title on the wall or by denomination alone is a part of the problem, IMHO.
@@dianem6951 I don’t think she knows that?
I'm 73 yrs old , raised Baptist an have a older brother who is a retired Baptist pastor. He still fill in for pastor nearly every Sunday, an who Loves HIS Father in Heaven. We have been talking about this problem for a while now and it breaks my heart. The devil has roared in an it is so sad an heartbreaking. Love this interview. Thank you.
Are denominations that important? Sincere question.
Have to separate from those who separate from God's truth
It is both a sad and yet, necessary step. We can’t fellowship with darkness .
I am SO happy to see this Pastor take a stand against the evil agenda to protect his flock & his Church! It's so refreshing to see REAL men of God. God bless Josh Buice & Justin Peters! 😇🙏
It’s always political and climbing the ladder by standing on others. You are well out of that situation sir and may God bless your family and ministry! Chris, Australia.
Justin, thankful to the Lord for His faithful hand at upholding you during the ministry that He has blessed you with. We met in person in Modesto California at Redemption Hill Church when you came and ministered to us. Bless you dear brother!
What ?? He was in Modesto??? When was that? I used to live there.
Thank you all for making a stand for righteousness the word of God is a two edged sword.
They taught me. Now I'm teaching them...what a blessing to reciprocate the love of God....Amen..
Thank You Bro Justin and Bro Josh for obeying God's Holy Word and being a willing vessel to preach and teach and uphold the true word of God. The Bible tells us that in the last days that we as the true church will experience persecution from not only the world but from even inside the church walls. As the bible says " be of good cheer for I have overcome the world" PRAISE BE TO THE FATHER THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT AND THE LOVE OF YESHUA JESUS BE WITH YOU .AMEN
God has a perfect plan for Pastor Josh and his church. God bless you Pastor Josh.🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for your candid SBC interview with this brother in Christ...left the SBC in 2001.... You keep us informed with your investigation on these issues...thank you again ..
Thank you Justin for holding this interview.
Always encouraging to see men fighting for the faith! God bless.
Another great video from Justin. I’m a fellow SBC member who is troubled about what’s going on the past few years. God has a great plan for Josh and his congregation.
I support Josh 10000%
Many points of truth came to mind during this video; 1] the issue of relenting to pragmatism leads to leaving scripture and turning to man centered philosophy 2] when God abandons a people/nation for their rejection of truth [Rom 1 v18-32]: "...so God *gave them over"* [Acts 14 v16]: "God let the nations *go their own way* [uninterrupted in their sin] like we see today 3] the great point you made Justin at 41:08 re: by Whom we will stand before, Who will judge, and by which standard: He who rejects Me and does not receive My sayings, has one who judges him; the word I spoke is what will judge him at the last day [John 12 v48]. Wonderful video.
Praise God for courageous pastors and elders who have the discernment and courage to stand up for the truth.
Dr. Bucie's church is an example of how God can use this sad situation. People will have to actively choose to follow Jesus, and those who are not following Him will be exposed. Just watched a very good sermon about holiness by John McArthur. He spoke extensively about sound doctrine causing us to desire holiness, as an outflowing of gratefulness in our hearts that our sins are forgiven.
The sermon by McArthur

Thank you for uploading this interview Justin. It was very helpful. I pray this conversation begins soon at our church as I share these same convictions.
I left it six years ago. There is a saying "Get woke go broke." Let the Leftists have it. God-fearing pastors need to stick to teaching God's word.
Thank you both for you humble and strong service to our Lord. May God continue to give you wisdom.
All over the world, we have bible truth believers.!Amen for the brothers
Thank you for your faithfulness to the WORD of the ALMIGHTY!
I am a Christian and Christ saved me at age nine years. I feel sad about everything in the Southern Baptist convention. I am saddened because I love missions. I used to give to the Lottie Moon Christmas offering for foreign missions and the Annie Armstrong Easter offering for home missions. I am praying and I reallly do not now what to do. I told my pastor that I did not think I could give to these mission offerings any more.
That is very true, in the end we all have to stand before Christ Jesus.
I too left the SB denomination a few years back. What a blessing to have heard this interview.
Are you attending a congregation and what denomination now?
This is the path that I have chosen individually. The southern Baptist church that I grew up in (yes, a member of the SBC)... that my grandparents were charter members of... my grandfather was a deacon and my grannie taught Sunday School for 45 years... has done away with the choir and the hymns in the red hymnals and the beautiful piano and organ playing, in favor of a "worship leader" playing a guitar, using over head projection for words to repetitive, unstructured choruses. Eschatology with the occasional "hell, fire and brimstone" message, as well as the alter call every service, have been done away with. There is no sacredness of the sanctuary. The foyer where the elders and deacons greeted everyone every service has been turned into a coffee bar. So much has happened that I have just prayed about and moved on from, because I was trying to take the high road, and be a faithful member. But, as was stated in this interview... they left me... I am now at an independent Baptist church that meets the criteria of a Christ centered, Bible believing, pretrib rapture church can meet... even KJV only and supporting local missions. I'm praying about membership, but I know that will happen in God's time.
😕🙏🏽
Hello from east Tennessee area and thanks for giving a good review and update on the sbc pulling away from what Gods word says. Kind of sad that they chose to go down that road. Harold L Dye - God Bless
Glad to see pastors taking a stand
Thank you, Justin! “The Church” in general, is being sifted, and great clarity is being revealed. We as believers, have to be wise and discerning. As this pastor says, our reference point is, and has to always be Scripture, and it’s complete inerrancy, and sufficiency. This pastor and his elders were very wise in the way that they chose to educated the congregation. The true Church belongs to God, not to any human formed organization.
I hope that more people see discern and take action in the church. I am watching. I get red flags. Please Pray for more confirmation in my discerning in a church that I have attended. Thank you.
Great to see a man of God stand up against the flowing tide. Thank you for this great interview.
I absolutely love these two men of God. Exiting the SBC was a Great decision. May God bless you both for your faithfulness
God bless you Justin and God bless Joshua to have made that decision of leaving that heratic SBC. I will pray for all of those who doesn't follow God word in the bible. Great job Justin brother. God bless Kathy to brother
Thanks Justin.
Pastor Josh seems like a real man of God.
Tell him thank you for the interview.
God bless you all.
🙏🙏🙏
So much of this going around. I was in an American Baptist Church when they decided to separate from the convention. Their reason at that time was in the inclucivity policies of the hierarchy. Homosexuality amongst leaders in the convention was accepted but my Church and others chose to separate and formed a new convention. This trend is not new, my mother saw liberalism creeping into the teaching materials in the late 50's, early 60's.
Blessed beyond measure. I praise God for two men who have a heartbeat for the desire to serve God above men.
Thank you Justin. That was an excellent interview. The questions and answers were measured and sobering. Without the Lord’s mercy I can’t see the SBC reversing course with this CRT poison so thoroughly in all positions of leadership including the seminary headed by Al Mohler.
I continue to mourn over Dr Mohler’s embracing of this. I would never have believed him capable if I hadn’t heard and read his comments for myself not to mention the deafening silence in defending the sufficiency of scripture. I know if he was here his good friend RC Sproul would say to him; “WHAT’S WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE!” God bless you brother!
When church leaders become more concerned with numbers than sound teaching, churches lose their mission. The same thing happened to the Methodist church decades ago. The command by Jesus to be mindful of the things of God rather than men is not just for the individual Christian but for the entire Christian body.
We are so glad to have found G3 Ministries! We are starting their study on Worship in a home group this month. God bless you both.
It is very reassuring to hear of a sound ministry these days. ✝️
Praise God . Prayers for continued blessings to these church’s that stand on the truth.thank you brothers
Very eye opening! Thank you for the honesty! Praise The Lord for his people who uphold his standards!
Hello Justin. I am a hispanic Pastor of a SBC church and I have been considering leading our church to leave because of this issues and others that I have witness in the California SBS and at our Association (region) I was not looking for your video but it showed in my suggestions and I'm "glad" (not much because this is sad) I found it. May God continue blessing you hermano and your ministry.
And the chasm between the true and faithful follower of Jesus and those that are not grows ever wider almost by the day
I was talking to my wife this morning: this "split" in the church is about allegiance. Where is our allegiance truly? And the fact is men are either about God's agenda, or one of a 1000 man made agendas. God bless you brothers for remaining faithful and encouraging us.
Thank you for your excellent commentary, Mr. Peters. I also have my MDIV from SWBTS and working on my PhD currently at the seminary.
I wish i had a Reformed church near me. All i have is SBC and IFB and methodist and pentecostal or prosperity gospel. I go but its hard listening to things being taught wrong. I do not correct my elders however. I just enjoy being with fellow saints as im Commanded.
I am a nobody from Alabama butI praise God for this decision 🙌. We must stand on Gods word and not what the culture says.
Thank you so very much and God bless and Grace to you and your beautiful wife.
Move?
Plant a church?
@@timvandermey4792 of that were an option i would In a heartbeat. But what about all the other people I dont know about that believe like us? We really need a Reformed church in Cherokee county Alabama
I have the same problem where I live. I understand your struggle.
@@brucekirk5081 I live in Foley, AL and am having a problem finding a church that is after the likes of John MacArthur's teachings and not insisting that only the KJV is allowed. I find that position untenable and a real problem for me, even if the pastor seems to be very passionate about the word of God.
@@deborahparrish2201 I agree with you about the 'kjv only' nonsense but I would count that as something I could live with if the doctrine, preaching and teaching is Biblically correct. The city where I live is a spiritual desert of sjw, kum-by-ya Sunday social clubs that seem to think the Bible is a secondary thought in church
Thank you for truth, for wisdom to tell the story well. So many older Baptist friends are just ignoring what happened and is happening. So sad!
I left the SBC 11 years ago. I pastored 18 years in SBC churches. I saw the writing on the wall when I attended the 1985 SBC at Dallas Texas.
Blessings Justin. I just love how you bless the body of christ. May the Lord always guide us all to do His will
Tears to my eyes. We are living in the end times...
I'm a deacon and worship director at Myrtle Creek First Baptist Church and we were part of the SBC for many decades and we left 3 years ago. They have let liberal theology creep into their doctrines and we had enough. We didn't leave them, they left us.
That was so refreshing and heartwarming to watch. God is good. Alleluia.
Looking forward to this interview. Thanks for sharing Justin!!!
You're most welcome, brother - blessings to y'all :)
God bless you Br. Justin for all you do for Christ's sake.
My brother you are a true man of God, may God instruct you, and bless your endeavors.
Blessings to you, Epieson :)
Thank you.
Thank you Justin for this video.i like the fact that both yourself and Dr.Buice both took your time to thoroughly investigate these topics as y'all didn't just make a snap judgement but took much time and effort into making your decision before leaving.I think men of God should reason this way.
Thank you so much both of you.
I think there are many going through the same things in different churches today. Me too, I left my church in this year.
Oh my goodness how is this possible how can they accept this
Thank you for this interview brothers Peters and Buice! This is something similar to what's happening with the Mennonite Church US and Mennonite Church Canada denominations (both formally the General Conference denomination). I would argue they have drifted even further to the left already than the SBC. They have been invaded by the Progressive Christian theology and doctrines. Same as with the SBC, individual churches and sometimes sub-conferences have been leaving the denomination in both the US and Canada. And just as G3 Ministries is to these churches that leave the convention, for the Mennonite churches there is the Evana Network, which churches that have left the MC US and MC Canada and the ones still part of the conference, can join. Evana Network tries steer back to the Bible.
It took a while, but I finally found a Baptist church in Western KY that does not belong to the SBC. Expository preaching and preaches the gospel. I feel blessed.
Thank you this was a blessing.
Jesus is King
This is sad I grew up Southern Baptist If they are following this Then they have left BIBLICAL TRUTH behind Then I can no longer follow this Thanks for the education ThUMBS UP Justin
This is not all Southern Baptist Churches. The SBC doesn’t speak for all Baptists. Just the churches that are members of this large organization.
It’s not the same thing. I go to a Southern Baptist church that is not a member of the SBC.
Thank you for this day Lord Jesus, I’m so thankful and grateful and God bless you JP
I appreciate your advice, some months ago, when you told me NOT to fear leaving the SBC. Since then, the Lord has opened the opportunity for me to transition out from said denomination and church! We patiently await the fulfillment of His plan and look to discovering the congregation He wants us to join in fellowship!
So by now, Have you found a church yet?
@@cat-bg3rv - It's been a bit of a journey, but I believe we found a solid, Biblical church. Thank you for asking!
@@toddgreve6587 I think most Christians have been through "church" journeys. Jesus sees us through to the end. ✝️
Justin I thank the Lord God for true faithful men of God standing up for the Truth and strong Live in Jesus Christ believing in the infallible word of God speaking out against false doctrine and power grabbers in the government all the world. I enjoying supporting and following all genuine men of God, serving Jesus Christ being a light in a dark sin sick world. Love all the work you do for the Lord God.
Jesus did nt tell us to have denomi ations we did ourselves. Shame on us.
Happy New Year... I am so blessed to watch your show. Its so encouraged to me. Amen
Church do not be surprised
God is not mocked
For whatever a man sows that shall he also reap.
God’s watching His Church and I believe that He will settle things.in His time. 🙏
Exactly. Support Dr. Buice. Thank you.
Another great vid!
Giving money to the Cooperative Program is paying people who hate you. It's that simple. The March through the Institutions continues.
Thank you for keeping us informed. As someone sitting in the pew how do we get our leadership to face the truth of SBC and address it? I have spoken to the pastor who brushed it off and said the local association was going to try to turn SBC around.
Thanks Justin! Always up for some good news. lol
Thank you, Denise! :)
@@JustinPetersMin I have been wondering who would be the first bold ones that I had heard of that would step away from the SBC. I've never been a part of it but it seems like it's going down hill fast. I worry about the souls that feel they are trapped in it. It is sad but it's also good to see Christian men who are willing to take a stand and say "Enough." They are taking the side of Scripture not culture and it makes me :) .
Josh definitely is following The Good Shepherd, and his sheep, his congregation, is following him. That's a church that hears the voice of the Lord, The good Shepherd.
I appreciate you guys and your hard work, and I empathize with you pain because the liberal drift of the SBC breaks my heart and don't agree with the use of resources. However, I am going to fight until a resurgence, big split, or a complete decimation. I was raised landmark missionary baptist and Independent Baptist, so spiritual warfare against political powers isn't new to me.
Man your camera and audio quality have really come a long way Justin! God Bless!
Thanks Ben!
@@JustinPetersMin Absolutely! Watching American Gospel was the means the Spirit used to save me out of my dead religion. Thank you for all your Christ-exalting work!
Thanks Justin for sharing this with us.
Wow, wow, wow.... powerful truth - thank you
Dr. Josh Bruice made the right decision.
Excellent interview and information. Thank you!!
thank you for standing up for God's word....
We are biblical told not to add or subtract from the Bible. God bless you both and the congregation that looks to you for guidance and the truth
Thank you for this talk, it was encouraging.
As you discuss what has happened with CRT and it's coupling with Gospel, I am reminded of Rev 22:18-19: "I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book, 19 and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book.'
I’ve met Dr VODDIE BAUCHAM and took with him some pictures, now it’s remaining Pastor JUSTIN PETERS and Pastor PAUL WASHER. The three amazing real servants of GOD Whom inspire me the most in entire world. And Pleas Pastor JUSTIN remember me in your prayer, I’ve applied for school in theology course at GRAND CANYON UNIVERSITY(Phoenix,AZ) I need God to make a way so that I can get approved and pursue my dream and calling in the ministry. I really need your prayer sir JUSTIN pleas! Dr VODDIE BAUCHAM, Laid hand on me and prayed for me about it when we met this year back in January at the 2021 conference which took place in FORT MEYERS FLORIDA. But your prayer still also very important to me sir JUSTIN.
When many in the SBC wouldn't mention the elephant in the room by name (critical race theory), I knew things weren't right.
Love you Justin peters. And love what you doing God bless you ✝️
In June of last year I voiced my concerns and asked my pastor if our church would consider leaving the convention.
I was told there was no liberal drift in the SBC and the scandal involving Ed Littons sermon was being over dramatized.
I was told that things were going in the right direction and the biggest concern was the sexual abuse investigation.
Recently, I asked my pastor again about the issues at hand and was told that Barber is the right choice, because Ascol does not have a clear plan for the victims revealed by the investigation.
I was told that things are still going in the right direction, but slowly.
My husband and I decided to give it another year and see what happens at the next election.
However, I've joined Twitter recently and I've seen women earning degrees in PASTORAL MINISTRY, women being ordained as pastors, dishonestly about how funds are being used by NAMB and ERLC not standing for abolishin of Abortion.
I don't think this election, even if it's in our favor, is going to be enough to "change the direction".
I'm disgusted and we're seeking God's leadership on what to do.
There are no reformed churches in our area that aren't SBC affiliated.
Thank you for addressing these issues, Justin.
Thanks Justin. I believe this is a major problem. In Canadian Mennonite Conference, the leadership have abandoned the bible (probably long ago) and have become a social justice, unbiblical marriage, and climate focused church. The church we belonged to opposed this. I have left this denomination 5 years ago. Christians need to read the bible, trust the authority of the bible, and believe it. What shocked me at their 2016 national conference was the belief, that the Holy Spirit was nudging them to accept a liberal definition of marriage. Clearly the bible is in opposition to the spirit that was heard.
Another thing, the big concern at the Conference that there would still be unity when this passed (and it did pass the vote). The biggest concern was unity? Nothing about being obedient to our Lord.
God bless you Justin for being a faithful teacher of our Lord Jesus.
Gosh it’s really awful isn’t it. Liberal marriage - is that living together?
I remember reading books from former SBC preachers written several decades ago. If you do read them you will discover this has been happening in the convention for decades if not for about a century. It has gotten worse today.
Thank you, brother, and Amen!
Thanks !
