BREAKING! MORE SATANIC CONFUSION REGARDING WHOREMONGER DR. STEVE LAWSON AND TRINITY BIBLE CHURCH IN DALLAS, TEXAS . . .

MORE SATANIC CONFUSION REGARDING WHOREMONGER DR. STEVE LAWSON AND TRINITY BIBLE CHURCH IN DALLAS, TEXAS — (NOW THEY ARE SAYING STEVE LAWSON WAS NOT EVEN THE PASTOR.) QUITE FRANKLY, WHAT PASTORS DEREK BROWN AND CLIFF MCMANIS ARE BRINGING UP ABOUT STEVE LAWSON AND TRINITY BIBLE CHURCH IN THEIR “WITH ALL WISDOM” PODCAST IS TYPICAL, DEVILISH, EVANGELICAL BULLSHEEP. IN OTHER WORDS, MODERN-DAY PHARISEES AND SADDUCEES “STRAINING AT A GNAT AND SWALLOWING A CAMEL” — MUMBO-JUMBO, GOBBLEDYGOOK, “FULL OF SOUND AND FURY, SIGNIFYING NOTHING.”

DANIEL WHYTE III, PRESIDENT OF GOSPEL LIGHT SOCIETY INTERNATIONAL, SAYS IN THE PRIDE AND SELF-RIGHTEOUSNESS OF DALLAS THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY, ONCE THE KING OF ALL SEMINARIES, IS NOW A CEMETERY BECAUSE THEY DID NOT FORSEE NOR DID THEY PLAN FOR PASTORS WHO GRADUATED FROM DALLAS THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY TO FALL INTO GROSS SIN. FROM FALSE PROPHET ANDY STANLEY BEING CHIEF PROMOTER OF HOMOSEXUALITY IN THE CHURCH, HIS PROTEGE CONWAY EDWARDS, TERREN DAMES SOLICITING A PROSTITUTE TO DR. TONY EVANS’ SITUATION WHERE NO ONE KNOWS WHAT HAPPENED THERE TO CHUCK SWINDOLL’S CHURCH — STONEBRIAR WHERE A PASTOR, TONY CAMMAROTA, FELL INTO GROSS SIN AND NOBODY KNOWS WHAT HAPPENED WITH HIM THERE. THE PEOPLE WERE TOLD NOT TO TALK ABOUT IT AND NOT TO ASK QUESTIONS — TO DR. STEVE LAWSON’S FIASCO THAT HAS CAUSED HIM AND HIS WIFE TO LIVE IN 2 DIFFERENT STATES WHILE HIS DAUGHTER, WHO IS OLDER THAN THE WOMAN HE WAS SEEING IS HAVING A GRANDCHILD. WHYTE SAYS HIS PROBLEM IS NOT THE ACTUAL SIN THESE PREACHERS HAVE COMMITTED; IT IS WHAT DALLAS THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY IS TEACHING THESE PASTORS HOW TO DEAL WITH SITUATIONS LIKE THIS IN THE CHURCH THAT IS WOEFULLY FLAWED —  A LACK OF TRANSPARENCY, WHICH IS A DEEP MARK OF CHRISTIAN IMMATURITY — (WHAT GOD HAS SHOWN WHYTE DOWN THROUGH THE YEARS WITH MANY PASTORS AND PREACHERS IS THAT TRANSPARENCY IS A MARK OF DEEP MATURITY.) — THE LYING, THE HIDING, AND BRINGING UP SILLY THEOLOGICAL TECHNICALITIES IS WHAT THE PROBLEM IS AND MAKES THE MATTER WORSE, AND IS AN EMBARRASSMENT TO THE CHURCH AS A WHOLE. THIS IS VERY SIMPLE, PEOPLE: 1. ONCE GOD EXPOSES A PASTOR, BY WHATEVER MEANS, HE NEEDS TO BE TRANSPARENT, HONEST, AND COME CLEAN ABOUT WHATEVER SIN HE COMMITTED. 2. THE CHURCH LEADERSHIP NEEDS TO ACCEPT HIS RESIGNATION, FIRE HIM, OR PUT HIM ON A LEAVE OF ABSENCE OR SABBATICAL, DEPENDING ON WHAT THE PASTOR DID. 3. THE PASTOR IS EFFECTIVELY OUT OF THE MINISTRY AT THIS POINT UNTIL GOD MOVES ACCORDING TO HIS WILL AND TIME. 4. IF HE IS A NATIONAL PASTOR, HE MUST CONFESS, YES, TO THE LOCAL CHURCH, BUT IT CAN’T STOP THERE. HE NEEDS TO CONFESS HIS SIN ON A NATIONAL LEVEL AS WELL AS ON AN INTERNATIONAL LEVEL TO THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE FOLLOWED AND SUPPORTED HIS MINISTRY WITH THEIR TIME, AND MONEY, BUYING HIS CDS AND BOOKS, AND SO FORTH. SOME PEOPLE WILL SEE HIM LIMITING HIS CONFESSION TO THE LOCAL CHURCH AS A DECEPTIVE PLOY. APPARENTLY, THIS IS WHAT THE DALLAS THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY HAVE ADVISED PASTORS AND CHURCHES TO DO, AND THIS IS DECEPTIVE, EVIL FOOLISHNESS THAT CAUSES SERIOUS PROBLEMS FOR A LONG TIME BECAUSE THE WOUND NEVER GETS A CHANCE TO HEAL. MAY GOD HELP US.

 

Six weeks have passed since Trinity Bible Church revealed that Steve Lawson was disqualified from “ministry activities” for having an “inappropriate relationship” with a woman who was not his wife, and a new report offers insight into why this whole situation has been so strange and murky.

According to pastors Derek Brown and Cliff McManis of Creekside Bible Church in Cupertino, California, on an episode of their podcast With All Wisdom, using information that has been “verified by the testimony of two or three witnesses,” Steve Lawson, though he previously served as a pastor of previous churches, was neither a pastor, nor an elder, nor even a member at Trinity Bible Church.

“He was not a pastor. He was not an elder at Trinity Bible Church, which we said. He was not the pastor or lead pastor of that church. He was not a member of that church.

How do I know all this? Because..I’ve been trying to get a hold of Trinity Bible Church in Texas for several weeks, and I finally got a hold of somebody that was willing to talk to me, who actually worked at the church, and they verified everything that we said.

They were reluctant to tell me that, but they agreed; he was not an elder, he was not a pastor. He was not the lead pastor. They kind of waffled when I said, “was he a member?” They didn’t want to tell me, but it was pretty obvious he wasn’t.

And they also agreed and acknowledged that as far as they know, the elders at their church are not the ones managing the Matthew 18 process with him of discipline because they can’t.”

Notably, the original announcement from Trinity reads, “The elders at Trinity Bible Church of Dallas regretfully announce that effective immediately, Steven J. Lawson has been removed indefinitely from all ministry activities at Trinity Bible Church of Dallas.”

Notice that while he was removed indefinitely from all ministry activities, he wasn’t removed from a position. He was removed from all ministry activities, but he wasn’t removed from being an elder or pastor.

So what was Lawson if he wasn’t their pastor or elder?

He was the regular guest preacher, otherwise known as the “Lead Preacher,” receiving a dispensation from the elders to preach the sermon and then depart once the message was done.

“What we know now is Steve Lawson didn’t want to be a pastor. He was a pastor at two previous churches that didn’t go well. There was division, there were church splits. It’s kind of an ugly history. And then he got to a point and said, I don’t want to be a pastor. And they honored his wishes, and he just was a teacher. He was a guest teacher at all these places, guest teacher at Ligonier and Trinity Church.”

The revelation tracks with what several members of Trinity Bible Church have reported to us, saying that Lawson’s scandalous affair opened their eyes to how problematic and challenging some of his behavior was, which was never really questioned or considered but now is glaring in light of this new exposure.

Members report that he would show up on Sundays, head straight to the back, preach the sermon, and then leave almost immediately after, rarely sticking around to shake hands or spend time talking to congregants because he had to “guard his time.”

Some exemptions were made for some of the young adult groups, but by and large, he was rarely around and was functionally inaccessible to the congregants- just like one might expect a guest preacher to be. They have speculated that this distance from the flock has played a role in him feeling he wasn’t accountable to them because they never really knew him, nor him them, and therefore was able to live a double life.

Because he’s not a member, elder, or pastor, the hosts suggest the church has no ability to hold him accountable in ways they would if he were, pointing out how this changes the conversation from groups that initially chastised others.

“But this is important because you go back to the very beginning when we were being lectured by all kinds of people, including G3 Ministries (who) made a statement early on and said we need to let the local elders at Trinity Bible Church handle this and the discipline process and the restoration process, and the rest of us need to just be hands off, be quiet, don’t ask questions. Literally. Leave it to the local church. And then Tim Challies in his panel said the same thing. It’s kind of a rebuke. ‘You Christians out there, quit trying to micromanage this. This is the local church elders’ responsibility. Trust them. They’re godly men.’ They’re saying that in ignorance. And so now Trinity Church admits, ‘we can’t do anything. So who’s holding him accountable?”

Brown and McManis explain why accountability is so important in a previous episode on the same topic:

“Steve Lawson needs to be held accountable because of James 3:1, and yet that’s the responsibility of the local church elders, and he’s a Bible teacher, but he’s not even a member of that church. So the local elders of Trinity can’t hold him accountable- he’s not cooperating. You say he has to be held accountable, and the question is, how? Yeah. I mean, how do you… He has no (unintelligible) place of accountability. He’s just been serving in all these areas of ministry, different ministries.

He’s a guest preacher at Trinity Bible Church. He’s at the D.Min program at the Masters Seminary, how are they going to hold them accountable, first and foremost? It’s not their responsibility; he’s not a member of Grace Church. And the seminary there is not a church. Ligonier is not a church, and he’s on the board there and the teaching fellow there. So do they hold them accountable? One Passion Ministries, that’s his ministry. He’s the man. He runs the thing. He’s the founder, CEO, and president. Who’s going to hold him accountable there? And how do you hold him accountable for a parachurch ministry?

So there’s really no ultimate accountability for not a member of a local church.

Those parachurch ministries don’t have a structure of church discipline like the church does, and Jesus handing the keys over to the church saying, ‘that’s our responsibility’ to hold someone like him accountable. And so no one has the instrument by which to hold him accountable, it seems, which is remarkable.”

Ultimately, the model of building the local church on the backs of guest preachers demonstrates a compromised ecclesiology that is so intrinsically and fundamentally flawed that it betrays a foundational problem. This whole notion of “I’ll preach at your church all the time but I won’t be your pastor” suggests Trinity Bible Church’s faulty ecclesiology is at least partially, if not significantly, to blame in this kind of situation, and explains why they are so reticent to speak up now.

IF YOU WERE TO DIE TODAY, WHERE WOULD YOU GO: HEAVEN OR HELL? IF YOU’RE NOT SURE, “BELIEVE ON THE LORD JESUS CHRIST AND THOU SHALT BE SAVED” FOR JESUS CHRIST SAID THE MOST IMPORTANT WORDS EVER SPOKEN IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD WHEN HE SAID, “FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD, THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, THAT WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH, BUT HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE.” READ FURTHER RIGHT HERE:

THE BIG QUESTION
GOSPEL LIGHT MINUTE X #447 WITH DANIEL WHYTE III

This is the “Chief of sinners,” Daniel Whyte III, president of Gospel Light Society International, with the Gospel Light Minute X Podcast #447 titled, “The Big Question” I’m here to remind you of what the Bible says, that “Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners” like you and me.

“HAVE YOU BEEN BORN AGAIN?”
The question is not “Have you joined a church?” or “Are you trying to do your best?” or “Do you have religion?” but “Are you twice-born?” Jesus Christ said in John 3:3, “Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God”.
We enter the physical world by birth. Spiritual life likewise is entered with a birth. We become members of a human family by birth; we become members of the family of God by birth, by being “born again.” There is no other way to get into the human family except by birth, and there is no other way to get into God’s family except by the new birth. Neither education, nor cultivation, nor reformation, nor “turning over a new leaf,” will accomplish this. What is needed is not a new “leaf” but a new “life”! “Ye must be born again” (John 3:7).

A New Nature Needed
By physical birth we become partakers of human nature; by being born again we become “partakers of the divine nature”. A Christian is the product of a divine “begetting”. The second birth is not an improvement of the old nature; it is the imparting of an entirely new nature. The old nature is hopelessly corrupt and incapable of ever being made fit for His presence. The new birth requires a creative act of the Holy Spirit. “If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature”.

Not “Trying” But “Trusting”

“Trying to follow Christ” is not Christianity. Christianity is not imitation of Christ, it is the indwelling of Christ. Christianity is not trying to do anything. It is trusting Christ Who has done it all! He has “finished the work” and there is nothing left to do but simply to receive and trust Him. He shed His precious blood on the cross and the work is all done once and forever! Cease trying and begin trusting! Believers will progressively become more and more like Christ, but by His power, not their own.

What Must I Do To Be Saved?
Simply “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ”. The Bible says in 1 John 5:1, “Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God”. The Bible states in John 1:12,13, “As many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God”.
You are born again, you become a Christian by trusting a Person—receiving a Person. The very moment you do this, the Lord Jesus Christ comes in and life begins!

What Is Meant By “Believe”?
To “believe on the Lord Jesus Christ” means more than simply believing the historic facts concerning Him. Intellectual belief about Christ is not sufficient. The belief that brings salvation must be “with the heart,” that is, with the whole being. This belief also includes repentance: “Repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ”. The Bible states in Acts 17:30, “God … now commandeth all men every where to repent”.

The faith which saves, then, includes the necessity to repent, and to receive Christ as Saviour and Lord, to rest upon Him alone for salvation. It means to trust Him so utterly and completely that, if He should fail, there would be no hope at all!

May I Know That I Am Born Again?
This is an important question. We know that we are born again by the testimony of God’s Word. God says in John 5:24, “He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life”. Have you believed on the Lord Jesus Christ as explained by God’s Word? If so, then you are saved, you are “born again,” you have “passed from death unto life.” God says so! Take God at His Word, and go on your way rejoicing!

One Final Word
You may “belong to a church,” you may be “trying to do the best you can,” you may be “striving to live right.” Your outward life may be the model of moral correctness, and you may be looked up to, honored, revered, and respected. Yet, if you have not been “born again” you are just as lost as if you had never heard of Christ. Yes, you may teach in the Sunday school, read the Bible, sing, shout, “feel happy,” and all the rest—but if you have never been “born again” you are still in your sins and a stranger to the Lord Jesus Christ!.

If you want to be saved from the wrath to come and from an eternity in Hell, and if you believe that Jesus Christ suffered, bled, and died on the cross for your sins, was buried, and rose again from the dead and you are willing to trust Jesus Christ with all of your heart so you can go to Heaven, please pray with me what is called the sinner’s prayer: Holy Father God, I acknowledge that I am a sinner and I admit that I have sinned against You and that I have broken Your Ten Commandments. I have lied before. I have stolen things before. I have lusted after people and things before. I have dishonored and disobeyed my parents. I have taken Your holy Name in vain. For Jesus Christ’s sake, please have mercy and grace upon my soul and forgive me of all of my sins, my failures, and my faults. As I now believe in Your Holy Son the Lord Jesus Christ. I believe that He suffered, bled, and died on the cross for my sins, was buried and rose again. Lord Jesus, please come into my heart and save my soul and change my life. Fill me with Your Holy Spirit and help me to repent of my sins past. Help me to turn from my old, evil life and follow You in the new life. For it is in Your Name I pray. Amen.
