Church & Ministry

Part of our weekly scout troop meetings is devoted to studying the ideals of the program and whether they measure up to scriptures, and how boys can take these concepts and use them as building blocks to develop their sense of “manliness” in practical ways.

Vitaliy, my husband, would like to hear some general thoughts on what you think might be good/bad/indifferent about having church leaders doing multilevel marketing. in this situation, it’s church leaders who don’t have a salary from the church.

Is anyone else concerned that BJU is having Clarence Sexton speak at Bible Conference? Sexton, in very recent memory has put a stamp of approval on not only Jack Schaap (prior to the sex scandal of course), but also on First Baptist of Hammond and their new pastor. FBCH has not owned its sin nor is it admitting its idolatry of man which paved a clear path for Schaap to groom and prey upon his victim(s).

At best, Sexton has shown little to no discernment and I’m baffled that he’s on the schedule to speak this year.

Troop 113 gets it’s number from Psalm 1:1-3 which describes the sort of man that we pray our scouts will grow up to become. As part of the scouting program, we include a “scoutmaster minute” — a short devotional — at the end of each troop meeting. Our scouts range in age from 11 to 18, and are mainly homeschoolers (but with some conventional schoolers, too).
