Nate Collins' Stunning Sermon at Revoice
In May, I asked about Nate Collins - a graduate & former teacher at @SBTS. I warned about the Revoice Conference & his self-description as a "married, same-sex-attracted/gay man." In June, I called for @drmoore to take a firm stand.

At Revoice, Collins preached from Jeremiah where he rightly described the prophet's ministry as a call to the nation of Judah to repentance.
Then Nate said, "During his ministry, Jeremiah experienced enormous suffering as a result of his faithfulness to his calling."

I keep hearing when Paul says, "I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; she is to remain quiet," that he's only referring to role of an elder in a local church. But I believe that's untenable when one considers the surrounding context. #sbc2018

The rate at which evangelicalism is adopting worldly culture is astounding and it seems that few are paying close attention. Almost overnight, we have adopted the world’s language regarding homosexuality & Christians speak of “LGBT community” as if it's biblical language. 1/13
The ways of liberal Protestantism have crept into the most conservative evangelical circles. Take for example the “Revoice Conference” being held in July, which meets to “gather together with other gender & sexual minorities” to “experience a new kind of gospel community.” 2/13

Much has been said about Beth Moore’s advice for grieving women to stay away from church on Mother’s Day. While I disagree with Beth, I have personal experience with the pain (my wife and I experienced 15 years of infertility) and would like to offer some pastoral thoughts.
While it would be easy to simply say, “You need to go to church,” maybe we should do some self-examination of our churches. Perhaps this has as much to say about us as it does them, and it might reveal a deeper problem with our churches today. Let me offer six thoughts.
