![]() ![]() Their refrains are “engage the culture” and “keep the conversation going.” They have recently partnered with Barna and Steve Graves, who also push this man-centric, non-biblical agenda. *BSF teaches that believers have a biblical mandate to redeem their culture, quoting Chuck Colson as support, rather than God’s Word. “People of the Promised Land” apparently will not be about God, but the great men (leaders) of the Bible. This chapter lays the groundwork for the new study. *Distortion of 1 Corinthians 3 - Chapter 1 mishandles this text with a man-centric application about godly leadership, ignoring Paul’s clear teaching that GOD is the point, not he who sows/waters. It’s about the people, the benefit of their togetherness and their strength in joining forces. ![]() Above all, the subtlety that seems to be missed is how “community” completely neglects the need and purpose for the Head. ![]() With community, the required unity and inter-dependence of parts are minimized or ignored. Though “community” celebrates togetherness, individuality is the emphasis (like the secular philosophy of multiculturalism). ![]() Only the body has a Head, with the individual parts literally dependent upon one another. I am wondering why I don’t read more about the concern of this trend in “Christian” ministries/churches? The popular buzz word is “community” these days, used as a replacement for the biblical word “Body.” Community and body are NOT synonyms. *Substitution of “Gospel Community” for “Body of Christ” (“Community” is used 20 times Body 0). You will probably know more “red flag” names than I am aware of. *Quotes by Rick Warren & Timothy Keller - They quote many people (secular, too). It was emailed to BSF class members and leadership this month to lay the foundation for their new study, a revision of the former study called “History of Israel and the Minor Prophets.” The new study is “People of the Promised Land (Part 1),” a name exposing BSF’s departure from a focus on Scripture’s purpose of revealing God and His glory to instead follow the wide path of man-centric teachings.Ĭoncerns from this publication include, but are not limited to: The attached eBook is co-written by Susie Rowan, head of BSF International. I thought you might want to read this and alert your readers. VictoriaĪnd now the letter from Linda, the BSF leader who just resigned: that drive the tone of socialism and liberalism downward to the attendee. I was looking forward to a different more conservative group this fall not realizing this “movement” was coming from the leadership – I did not know BSFI was so heavily immersed into politics etc. He seems to be put on the back burner when it comes to politics, culture, and leaning into liberal perspective and “rules for change.”. It seems there is more focus on building the ecumenical emergent church than there is building a relationship with Christ. It tells me through the language in her e-mails and books, she is in favor of Dominionism’s seven mountains, the ecumenical movement / emergent church. Susie promotes questionable authors that support the rapid growing apostate emergent church, socialism, and the NAR. until I read Susie Rowan’s e-book seemingly promoting Dominion Theology. I WAS a Bible Study Fellowship member awaiting the fall 2018 class. “Co-incidentally,” we received a second letter last week from another BSF member who shared similar concerns. Incidentally, Linda submitted her resignation letter to BSF last week after being involved with the organization for over 20 years (12 years as a leader). Lighthouse Trails noted in 2010 that BSF’s current executive director Susie Rowan is a proponent of contemplative prayer (and we knew this would eventually lead to an emergent, social-justice “gospel.”) Linda, the BSF leader who wrote the letter below confirms this. Each one expressed a concern that the organization once taught God’s Word but over the last decade especially began to drift.
