Dee:

He did not have “big” hair, but it was black. He had been in Christian music group that had some appeal for a while. He was married to a nice lady. They later divorced (after leaving our church and moving out of town). She went on to write books about rejection, acceptance etc. She was, for a while, a fairly popular author. She had remarried. I don’t know about him.

Ed Young, Jr., features Brian Houston, pastor of Hillsong Church, in his music video. Take a look at Houston explaining how you can become a MONEY MAGNET. Those of you who read our critique of the health and wealth gospel back in January will remember this video. It really says it all…

We are dying to find out if this guy had big hair, slicked back and loved to sing, Our God Is an Awesome God. We think we know who you are talking about. We hope you hit him hard with theology-after Ed’s church his theology probably centered more on acquisition than doctrine. You made us laugh this evening. Thanks!

We had a guy in our church about 17 years ago who had worked with Young in Texas at the Las Colinas Fellowship thing. He was really impressed with what was going on there. He talked about wanting to make “6 figures” as a worship leader at our church. Of course, that did not happen.

But he did hear lots of great theology while he was with us!

Maybe he should have stayed in Texas.

The concept of the priesthood of each and every believer is that we are all to be priests to each other and to those who have yet to accept the gift of salvation. That is, we are to bear one another’s burdens and to speak directly and softly a word of correction when a brother or sister strays. For the unsaved, we are to be living and speaking so as to bring to their attention that we have received a great gift that they can also have, confidence in eternal life through a relationship with Jesus, who died so that they could be his adopted siblings.

But none is given authority over another.

Please note that Paul said “I permit no” not that God did not permit.

“No higher honor can be imagined than that of being Christ’s ambassadors, and proclaiming in Christ’s name the forgiveness of sins to a lost world. But let us ever beware of investing the ministerial office with one jot more of power and authority than Christ conferred upon it. To treat ministers as being in any sense mediators between God and man, is to rob Christ of His prerogative, to hide saving truth from sinners, and to exalt ordained men to a position which they are totally unqualified to fill.” ~ J.C. Ryle

CBE International is a wonderful organization and has some great writers contribute to their newsletter! Hardly the “feminazis” many hope to paint their members as being.

As I’ve stated before, I lean complementarian, but I want nothing to do with “The Council of Biblical Manhood and Womanhood.”

I still can’t figure out why folks still fork over their hard earned dough to these guys.

For those who may have missed it at the bottom of a previous post.

There is an organization of conservatives “Christians for Biblical Equality” that publishes an academic journal “The Priscilla Papers” on the issue, as well as a more popular magazine. They have a statement of faith that most conservative Christians will find acceptable. I recommend the organization to any who find complementarianism difficult. Their website is http://www.cbeinternational.org/.
