Rick Warren and his wife started Saddleback with a vision to plant a church “for people who didn’t like church.” I could tell you oodles about the church history because Saddleback loves itself some Saddleback. (All the information I share in this section is from the Saddleback Church website, unless otherwise noted.) So, let’s take a look at three ways Saddleback is failing the gospel, and ultimately, you. (Don’t count on the SBC to do anything, though, they’ve silently been allowing female preaching for years.)īefore this ordaining women fiasco, though, I already had reservations about Rick Warren and Saddleback Church. I’d rather that than allow them to continue on with liberal and progressive practices while Christian leadership nods along like everything is all good. If SBC leadership won’t speak out against this, then both Saddleback and the SBC would be exposed for poor doctrine. I’m actually a little excited about Saddleback ordaining women because this gives the SBC no choice but to address female preaching. As I said, earlier, the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) has given this church carte blanche to do whatever suits Warren. This is not the first time Kay Warren has taken the pulpit, however. Because as we’ve seen with Beth Moore, Mother’s Day appears to negate the strict biblical mandates of pastoral ministry in liberal American churches. Kay Warren, Rick Warren’s wife, added insult to injury on Mother’s Day and gave the Sunday message. It’s a short, tidy article explaining why pastoral ministry is exclusively male. If you want to investigate this issue, I’d start HERE. Christians ought to start with the Bible, not tack it onto what they already believe. Rather, filter your worldview and beliefs through the truth of His Word. Stop sieving the Bible through your worldview and presuppositions. If you believe that women can and/or should be pastors, I ask you to flip your method of interpreting the Word. There are endless arguments against this teaching, but they are all just grasping at straws to fight against a plain biblical teaching that does not suit modern-day sensibilities. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. But let’s quickly look at the most commonly used scripture to explain this position. I’m not going to do a whole post about why female pastors are not biblical. What’s the big deal, you ask? Well, Southern Baptists don’t approve of female pastors because…the Bible. Saddleback ordained three women on May 6, 2021.
