If you're walking as the Lord would have you walk, I want you to rejoice in God's goodness. ” hope that those who are a part of the village will catch the vision that Matt seems to have, and that is not the Kingdom of Matt but the Kingdom of God. I saw lots of contradictions, mental gymnastics and scripture twisting to maintain a position that is untenable and can logically only go the route of legalism. She doesn't need $200 jeans. It is our hope, that by stating that we, as Christians, find this statement out of line, that non-Chrisitans will understand that Christians are not condoning this behavior. We’re somewhere in between those two “Ladies of Wartburg” portraits. Why does he need to speak at serial conferences? They have no ability to think this way. Chandler I am sure has been involved in that…but when you get invited to Australia to speak the gospel to Aussies, or get invited to Africa to speak the gospel to men and women there, or go to China to encourage “secret church pastors”, or go to Atlanta to challenge and encourage pastors In America like me…would you really deny going?? Sinners. Even now, my wife is saying, "I'd really like to get this." God is the hero of the OT, not David or Abraham, etc. I attended a conference where Matt was speaking (what you call pastoring the pastors), and I was floored with his ability to point people to the God of the BIble. (Household codes at the time). Remember that the Word was not written with chapter breaks and verse numbers. Watcher, thanks for linking to Tracy. If you're a guest, don't get nervous. What do we do with this, "Your barns will be full, and your vats will burst forth with wine"? No human is to be our personal “king” (or mediator-earthly leader… between Jesus Christ and a married woman), Patriarchy goes back to what happened in Gen 3. I think there is more to this but I think Lydia will do a better job than I can. We walked through the reality. Right? I’d never read or heard it. You could have said the following. We give them hope that there sanity and love still exist. It was already there.

And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.". Sin! And such characters are not excuses for bad behavior today as so many pastors teach. Instead, we seem to do what any ho-hum Donald Trump might do. And if you are attacked, respond with grace! Most mega-church pastors like Joel Osteen clearly are in it for their own kingdoms. Does it ever bother you that people are asking the likes of John Piper to autograph the ESV Bible? Let's go to Genesis 1. Let me walk through a couple of ways I think you can spend and a little grid you can walk through that I have personally found helpful. Liars. I pray that this is so. For my family, here is what we have done. Matt preaches the gospel to Christian leaders and pastors in much the same way that Paul writes his letters to Christian churches with the Gospel packed in it. However, various opinions arise on exactly how this should be taught. All net worths are calculated by applying a proprietary algorithm. At the same time it seems as if the preachers are running faster and faster and getting nowhere fast. If you have read this blog, you will see that we have made suggestions as to how to become a community instead of just another community organization. If he explains to the critics that it was an outburst prompted by his tumor, then all is immediately forgiven and we would remove our complaint with a full explanation of the situation. From there, let's keep reading. I, among many issues, am an open book (except those that are primary such as the divinity of Christ.)

Be positive, not negative is part of the playbook of the new “anointed” pastor crowd. Are you serious?" You are the one who have chosen to go beyond your church to become a public speaker and I am going public with my concerns. Here is what it says. I like nice stuff in a way that is not good for my heart. Why not put out his material on the web, start a Q+A page/helpline for pastors and stay put in Dallas? Her sweet life was preserved and we are most grateful to God for His mercy to our family. So, instead you berate a member of your flock for having the temerity to question you in an impersonal manner. He needs his dad. Then gosh, the shot across the bow is, "You want to know where your heart is.

I’ll sit back and watch what comes from his ministry and continue to pray for his healing. The way he rebuked husbands/fathers for not helping their wives with the responsibilities around the house and with the kids was spot on! I have come across men and women who we have counseled who have had a massive kind of medical explosion thing that occurred, emergency surgery, follow up, all kinds of things that have jammed them up really, really bad and have for years to come. Perhaps the anonymous commenter should have submitted his/her concern via text message in church. Anyone who puts himself into the public eye should expect criticism, just as we do. For years I have wrestled with a proper approach on how to handle this. As far as Chandler is concerned, He made a mistake, but I think he is also a pastor who is concerned about such things. No, what you like is fly fishing in Colorado. As if this showed how horrible it becamse for Israel. It is quality not quantity but mega churchs are into quantity. I actually lost money on my birthday. I've literally had to at times play a "cash out" game with them. others refuse to go to church, and others are nominally involved. In this city, that's funny because there really are some Joneses who are crazy wealthy. We don't negotiate. Thank you so very much for your challenging words. Jul 06, 2014, Topic : I have watched many children, who were prayed for, go home to Jesus. simply not correct to say that the Bible exhibits a uniformed And the Lord God planted a garden in Eden, in the east, and there he put the man whom he had formed. I think he should consider slowing down and hanging with his people first before running around the world being “successful.”. We're not going to take it and use it for this.

I understand Matt’s frustration with this matter, however, I do not agree he should have responded like this in the pulpit. Now, is that God-honoring? How do I know this? Sign your name! and Matt Chandler have been used by God in many ways. If you want positive, scroll to the bottom of this post. Let me encourage you if you're single to sit down with people who can hold you accountable. (Literature does not bear this out). Ok..I am seriously tired of typing! If you don't have a Bible with you, don't own one, there should be a hardback black one somewhere around you. The guy knows it's there and is doing nothing about it despite the fact that there are kids all over.

There is NO prohibition in the OT against women teaching or leading men.

We encourage those folks to see that God has not deserted them.

That is why they have several ministers on staff to lead, preach, and shepherd the flock. Here are a few points: 1. But I don’t know him and that may have been completely out of character. He has his illness which also brought a huge outpouring. The bottomline is that they WERE given the Holy Spirit to function in the building of the ekklesia at Pentecost. And yes, I do believe the Holy Spirit gives all believers the capacity to have a burden for the lost and a burden to glorify God. I am definitely NOT third wave!

(Piper being the most vocal who has written a book). I know exactly how much they spent. If you're in here, you're like, "Well, we're making enough money that it has never been a big issue.".

Before you jump on me, I’m in no way making excuses for the tacky words and attitude of Chandler.

May I just point out one itty bitty detail? Could it be that this is what most pastors would really like? We've rejoiced in it. He get’s to connect with the people, and this is not a time to sign autographs. There is evidence that the same Greek idiom has been found on tombstones near Ephesus for women. She didn't pick that out.

“Response: Yes women do play a significant religious and at times leadership roles throughout the Bible. Follow men not Christ.

He has a great church there. Thankfully, she survived this illness and is about to graduate with a BS degree in nursing. Would anybody rather than one not be in there? I am well supplied, having received from Epaphroditus the gifts you sent, a fragrant offering, a sacrifice acceptable and pleasing to God. There is so much one-sided teaching on the traditional view, and many people like me would love to see a different side to this story, especially a debate. There is absolutely NO WAY the leaders of these mega’s can keep from being worshipped by the pew sitters. Not sure if that is your take (you mentioned something about not lining up with the “traditional” role of the pastor) but I would be interested to hear what ya think.”, I think the functions are interchangable. That's what we've done. Matt Chandler is an American Religious Leader. I like them. There are some “zeroes” that you need to get to know. Brother, have you ever gone grocery shopping?

You are very right…motivation is hard to judge. You don’t get to have it both ways. Is anyone still using that? We don't like that, because some of us worked hard. If you're on a budget, within that budget you can order that steak, get those fajitas, and order that bottle of wine, then hit it. Week two, we looked at the generosity of God himself. It was in a book and if I remember correctly it was written by a Puritan and not just quoting one but I cannot remember the name of it. It is a nightmare to watch your child suffer. "Honey, what is this? For me, I sort of like it. Someone writing any kind of anonymous email or letter that attacks or complains about situations within the church should be confronted. It is even more of a shame that woman will not be free to function in the FULL inheritance of salvation/sanctification in Matt’s church plants. Beware of brothers whose ministry is about their ministry, but rather their ministry be about the ministry of the King. Thank you for your thoughtful comments. I am checking to see if I have the bugs worked out. “Responding to the Village encouraging open dialogue between it’s members through texting (something that promotes community) by saying it’s a “last ditch effort of a dying church to encourage the next generation” does not seem very constructive! But go read her “song”. However, if the brain tumor was affecting his behavior and speech, then he would need to clear this up. There is more but we have so little room: Originally woman had her place in the regular Tabernacle services, either as priestess or Levite. A narcissist loves to see his name in lights.

I will answer as best I can the following: “Ok..these verses (1 Timothy 3: 1-7 and Titus 1: 5-9) discuss overseers/elders in the church…Many assume that elder/overseer can also mean “shepherd” in this context, which applies to pastors.

But the Cross can restore this. They just indoctrinate. How does it turn off non-Christians? oh, I meant to also say that Paul is writing of Junia as an “apostle” as in small “a”. The point is, we all step out of line when we are passionate about issues, and Matt is obviously passionate about this as would I. Darn!

Yes, Dr. R.G.
