SoP has indicated it is going to release police reports and the like, as you've indicated above. That's what I'm waiting on.
You gotta feel bad for the guy in a way, having a podcast series made on him.
I dont see why, most likely he isnt bothered. Hes been on peoples mind for years.
I guess so. I was just thinking if someone made a podcast on me.
Have any type of popular success in ministry, and they will. I read where someone wrote "if you dont want to get talked about, dont go into ministry." Think about the most beloved Pastor you can imagine, and someone, somewhere has said they are the child of the devil.
I May the LORD glorify himself through me, and all the brethren, popular or unpopular or simply, unknown.
You don't even have to go into ministry for that! I know this from first hand experience.
That is true, but what people usually mean by ministers and ministry; are those formally ordained and are engaged in ministry as vocation. While all believers should be engaged in some sort of ministry, not all believers can engage in all ministries. There are certain ministries where people must be "approved." This would be things like preaching, street preaching, teaching, missionary, etc. This is kind of where the Reformed concept of "ministry as life" comes in; that is, regardless if I am a preacher, or a dishwasher; I am called to be an ambassador, minister, and representative of Christ; demonstrating my faith by my ethic, attitude, and sanctification. Whether you are in a pulpit or on a construction site; holiness, love, and patience are going to minister.
Agreed except for one question. Why these two? I don't see these being approved in the New Testament. The brethren just go do them.
Because both have to be qualified, and ordained. Paul and Barnabas, before their missionary journey were commissioned, and hands laid on them to do their work. Acts 13:2-3. Street Preaching for obvious reasons, because it is preaching; and someone preaching must be qualified whether it is in a pulpit or parking lot. A Christian (at least in my opinion) can hand out tracts, and engage with people one on one; but that is going to be more conversational evangelism. When a street preacher gets on a soapbox, he is still proclaiming "thus saith the Lord." Also, it is probably a good idea just to let your elders know you plan on handing out tracts, and get approval. We have to remember that when we are on the street, we also represent that local body; plus, they can look to see if others may be interested to do it as a team.
But are they equal. Street preaching and preaching from the pulpit are different. One is the proclamation of the gospel to the lost. The other is an aspect of shepherding the sheep. We see elders ordained, but do we see street preachers ordained?
Shepherding, I believe, would encompass the entirety of Pastoral duties, from preaching, to teaching, to counseling, to accountability, to evangelizing, etc. But, preaching is only to be done by those qualified to do so. Preaching and Shepherding are not synonymous, Preaching is a part of Shepherding. But just like no congregant would get up from the pew and assume to stand in the pulpit and preach, so too, no congregant should assume to go into society and do the same. A person needs to be tested, and trained on how to rightly divide the Word of God, before they can expect to open it up to others outside their family domain..
Yeah, I stopped listening to it, too.
Good summary.
Who are Wilson's main disciples? I think some of them are Joel Webbon, Jeff Durbin, and Brian Sauve.
Definitely Webbon.
I wouldn't put Durbin in this list. He certainly is friendly toward him, but he is usually doing his own thing. He is also not a fan of Wolfe, and recently declined to speak at Webbon's conference. I really appreciate the anti abortion work he does as well. My opinion at least.
“Weirdo Magnet” - a masterfully ‘attractional’ phrase, orienting the compass to true north.
I have long thought the CREC and Wilson operate on a very faulty theology and do not dispute the abuse at the hands of Shepherds and an un-Biblical theology.
I see.
That and more. The political analysis is poor - hearing only from Classic Liberalism and seeing any form of Conservatism (including that of an Orthodox Jew!) as Christian Nationalism.
