Some Thoughts on Female Pastors and Cooperation in the SBC

May 10, 2021 by David Rogers

In SBC circles, the issue of female pastors has been the subject of a lot of discussion during the past several days. I, personally, am a complementarian and believe that the office of elder-pastor-bishop in the local church is reserved, according to biblical teaching, for qualified males. At the same time, I recognize that there […]

The Rich and the Poor in James

August 13, 2019 by David Rogers

James 2:5-7. “Listen, my dear brothers and sisters: Didn’t God choose the poor in this world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom that he has promised to those who love him? Yet you have dishonored the poor. Don’t the rich oppress you and drag you into court? Don’t they blaspheme the […]

Fixated on Fixing the Nation?

July 2, 2019 by David Rogers

Recently, Bart Barber posted the following words on Facebook: Want to fix the nation? Fix the churches. Want to fix the churches? Fix the SBC (or your own family of churches). Want to fix the SBC? Fix your local church. Want to fix your local church? Start with yourself. #SpiritualAwakening101 Before proceeding with my response […]

Do You Have an Abner Spirit or a Joab Spirit?

May 31, 2019 by David Rogers

It was a time of civil war in Israel.  King Saul and his oldest son, Jonathan, had died in battle. The people of David’s native tribe of Judah had proclaimed him the new king. The prophet Samuel had anointed David years earlier and had let it be known that God had rejected Saul. But those […]

Worse than an infidel?

October 27, 2018 by David Rogers

In recent days, in response to those calling on Christians to have compassion on needy people from other countries, I have heard or read several people reference 1 Timothy 5:8: “But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than […]

“But we already said we’re sorry for that”

April 20, 2018 by David Rogers

The conversation goes on. And from the perspective of some among us, it goes on and on and on and on and on. “Why can’t we just let bygones be bygones? Why do we have to keep on dredging up the past and revisiting the same sins over and over again? Didn’t we already say […]

The Rub

October 20, 2017 by David Rogers

Driving home in my car just now I turned my radio on to the local Christian talk station just in time for the Jay Sekulow Live program. The topic of discussion for today was tax reform. Even though it is not the topic I want to write about, nor what I really want to discuss […]

Business as Ministry vs. Ministry as Business

January 3, 2017 by David Rogers

Rule of thumb: “Business as ministry,” as a general principle, is honorable and good. “Ministry as business,” as a general principle, however, is neither honorable nor good. Necessary points of explanation and nuance: * God created man to be industrious and to work. Work has intrinsic value in and of itself. * God expects us […]

American Civil Religion & New Testament Christianity

December 26, 2016 by David Rogers

As I have reflected on the matter, I have come to the conclusion that the underlying cause of many of the conflicts between different groups of Christians today in North America is a difference in the way we conceive of the proper relationship between civil religion and the practice of our Christian faith. In order […]

Nationwide and Citywide Revival

November 5, 2016 by David Rogers

Though the concept of revival (or spiritual awakening) is certainly not absent from Scripture, it is my contention that some of the ways in which this topic is frequently broached in contemporary North American Evangelicalism are either Scripturally unbalanced or unfounded. One example of this is our tendency to talk of revival more on a […]

An Antinomist’s Perspective on Life in the SBC

May 10, 2014 by David Rogers

Dave Miller’s post the other day got my mind to working, and conjured up an image that I am going to try to describe to you in this post, which could also be titled “Calvinism, Free Will, and Narnia: Redux,” as it picks up where I left off in another post I once wrote called […]

The Worst of “the Christian Right”

March 12, 2014 by David Rogers

A recent article at The Christian Post entitled “Christian Leaders Call on Believers to be Less Rigid, Support Flawed Politicians” embodies what I consider to be the worst of what the political Christian Right has to offer. The setting of the article is the recent Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) at the Gaylord National Harbor […]
