Does God Command Restoring Predator Pastors? 10 Qs with Mike Winger (Ep 56)
BibleThinker
Intro
This chapter explores the contentious issue of reinstating pastors with troubling histories, highlighting a notable figure involved in this practice. It examines the scriptural justifications for such decisions and the broader implications for accountability within religious ministries.
Today's Time Stamps:
1. 0:33 {Restoring Predators?} As a policy, does God command us to restore predators to ministry, as Rick Joyner teaches?
2. 23:52 {“Not Many…” So Should I?} How does someone answer the call to be a teacher or a pastor if they feel called but is concerned about the warning in James that not many should become teachers?
3. 28:36 {Bringing Concerns to Leadership} I am 16 years old, attending an egalitarian church. I’ve been watching and studying your Women in Ministry series. How do I go about discussing this issue productively with the leaders of my church?
4. 34:42 {“Red Letters”: More Important?} Are Paul's words in Scripture less important than Jesus' words?
5. 38:47 {The Best Counsel for Couples} My wife and I recently starting doing pre-marital counseling for other couples in our church. What is some of the best advice we should give these couples?
6. 41:37 {Paul’s Gospel?} In Philemon 1:19, why did Philemon owe himself to Paul? And why does Paul call it "his" gospel (please also see Romans 2:16 , 16:25, 2 Timothy 2:8)?
7. 49:32 {Worship Lyrics: Thinking Biblically} I have a question about a worship song. Do you think it is appropriate to sing “Let Your holy fire consume us”?
8. 51:55 {Are Annulments Biblical?} What are your thoughts on annulments? Are they biblical and are they ever wise? Or are people just trying to justify their divorce?
9. 57:53 {Hats: Disrespectful or Stylish?} My mother-in-law is "old-fashioned." What's your opinion about wearing hats in church? How about pastors preaching in them?
10. 1:01:42 {Why We’re Never Satisfied} How do I deal with not being satisfied in life? I feel guilty because God should satisfy me and be all that I need, but I don't feel satisfied or content.
11. 1:06:19 BONUS: Can you PLEASE give a shout-out to my husband, Michael (non-believer) who started listening to you because I wouldn't stop talking about it! Please pray for him!
