Jesus said that a MAN is not to lust after a woman or HE commits adultery already in his heart.
The responsibility of a man’s purity rest in his faith to guard his heart from lusting after women who are not his.
It’s not the responsibility of the woman!!!

The Ruckmanism/Double Inspiration (R/DI) teaching is an attack on the Word of God in the original languages (Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek).

Be careful not to “keep standing” b/c you think moving to a new position comes across as weak or as lacking character. If those are one of the reasons for your stand, you’re standing because of pride.

To say the English language was chosen by God you would have to believe that the cannon was not closed when John finished writing Revelation. We know God chose Hebrew & Greek. To say He choose another language is putting words in His mouth… and that is not a good idea.

There are preachers who have a hateful & unforgiving spirit. They “rise above” everyone else. They are self righteous & self serving. They divide the brethren unnecessarily.

Preaching should be from & filled with the Word of God! Preaching should not misuse or abuse the text of scripture.

Legalism changes the highest commodity from Truth to intimidation
Intimidation comes in all forms:
- Public disapproval of the brethren (isolation)
- Your life will be wrecked & ruined
- You’ll be stuck in the 1950’s
Moral to the story: Seek Truth (Jesus) with all your heart!

One of the greatest sins in the IFB world is the sin of Control.
Control through living a law that can be attained in the power of the flesh rather than Spirit Filled Living.
Control of others through Lordship Leading rather than Servant Leadership.

A preacher’s job is not to protect his name & reputation nor to protect the name & reputation of the church, but rather a preacher’s job is to protect the name & reputation of Jesus Christ!

IFB haters are very good at casting stones at the IFB. Although the world they are throwing them from have their sins and some of the same sins. That’s because sin is a human problem.
Maybe that’s why Jesus said, “He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone”

This made me think of the fact that they also just post clips of approximately the same 20 preachers. Or clips of guys that are young and not trained well. There’s over 10,000 IFB churches. The bad clips are the exception, not the rule.
I don't follow the "bad sermon" accounts highlighting/mocking IFB preachers for similar reasons I don't have an interest in ministries/missions that only highlight the bad in churches.
They're...
-out of balance.
-in contradiction of Philippians 4:8
-opposing the NT pattern

One man’s preference is another man’s conviction.
This is why our life should have personal convictions that we’re not trying to force on others. Living by preference short circuits our pursuit of God’s mind.

Pray for your pastor & his family!!!
There are things you will never know about that bear on him. He’s not a perfect man, but seeks God’s will to be done.
Don’t worship him. Pray for him!!!
Remember he needs to be ministered to every week, at church, as you do too.
