As I rambled yesterday, I used to enjoy controversy. This can be especially entertaining when you write a blog because , of course, you can write things just to get a reaction out of people. Those days are (mostly) gone. I don’t enjoy upset people with emotional responses to hot-button issues.

But Christians often have very real differences. Even within Orthodoxy. And that’s not only OK, it’s a beautiful thing. When you go to see the Freak Show (not that we would because that’s not politically correct), you want to see different freaks. You’ll probably be disappointed if every booth is Lobster Boy or the Bearded Lady. But to see Lobster Boy, the Bearded Lady, the Fire Swallower, the Knife Thrower and the world’s tallest and shortest men all at once, that’s a cornucopia for the senses!

I’ve been a Christian long enough to know that we all think we’re right. No matter the issue. And rather than celebrate our differences (within the freak-show tent of Orthodoxy), we megaphone our differences like the elderly couple trying to punish their neighbor by blaring Iron Maiden. We want everyone to know our theological boundaries because, once you cross them, you’re no longer in my camp and I’m not sure anything you now say is valid because you went outside of our self-prescribed boundaries.

Of course there is such a thing as Orthodoxy. There are people who are Christians and those who are not. And there are many who claim to be Christians but are not. Don’t believe me? Just visit any “Christian” bookstore. But the boundaries of Orthodoxy are not my point here. Instead, I have in mind the many well-intentioned Christians who exclude and judge one another because of differing positions within the tent 0f Orthodoxy. After all, so far as it depends on us, shouldn’t we try to get along with everyone (Romans 12:18)? After all, isn’t one of the goals of Christian maturity the unity of the Spirit (Ephesians 4:13)? It’s by our staunchly held tribal theologies that the world will know that we belong to Jesus, right (John 13:35)?

Not only have I been thinking a lot about the differences between the many Orthodox tribes, I’ve been thinking about what happens when you’re a member of one tribe but start to question its boundaries. What happens when you’re part of one tribe and the things from another tribe seem attractive? Do you leave your tribe to join theirs? Do you try to convince both tribes to meet in the middle? Do you start your own hybrid tribe? How will the people in your old tribe think about you though?!

We Christians are quick to decry religions like Mormonism and Islam that are sometimes known for excluding from community those who renounce the faith. Yet we Christians do the same thing in practice. When someone leaves our particular theological tribe or begins to question it from the inside, we are quick to protect our boundaries at the expense of relationship.

Where is all of this going, you should be asking. What theological position is Brent questioning that he shouldn’t be? What tribe is he being kicked out of? Well, none yet. But I’m glad you asked. And in case you missed the title of the post, I’ve been thinking about Complementarianism for a couple of years now. I consider myself a Complementarian. So any questioning of the tribe’s boundaries is done so from within. If you’re not familiar with the term, Wikipedia (so you know it’s right) defines it as:

Complementarianism is a theological view held by some in Christianity and other world religions, such as Islam,that men and women have different but complementary roles and responsibilities in marriage, family life, religious leadership, and elsewhere.

It all started when our Church of the Cross family studied Acts together. In Acts 2, on the Day of Pentecost, quoting Joel, Peter declares that one of the signs that it is the last days, that the Spirit has arrived is that “sons and daughters” will prophesy. Later, in Acts 21, we are told that Philip the Evangelist “ad four unmarried daughters, who prophesied.”

So we have clear biblical precedent that women can prophesy. I’m not going to spend time exploring just what this “prophecy” is or isn’t here in this post, though I recognize that this is a vital issue. I would point to 1 Corinthians 14:1-3 in our understand but that’s not where I’m want to spend time today. Instead, I want to note that Paul, quite often and very clearly differentiates between “prophecy,” “exhortation” and “teaching.” Consider, for example, Romans 12:1-8, 1 Corinthians 12:28; 14:6, Ephesians 4:11-13,”

It seems clear that Paul understood these things as separate from one another. Yet our current understand of preaching and Complementarian male eldership not only lumps them all together (prophecy, exhortation, teaching) but excludes women from the public ministry of all of them based on the Paul’s prohibition of only one element: teaching. 1 Timothy 2:12 clearly states that Paul does not permit a woman to teach or have authority over men. It’s not my point today to notice how we as Complementarians are quick to promote the literal application of this verse while we continue to let women speak in our churches despite 1 Corinthians 14:34.

Instead, I just want to openly discuss the way we Complementarians seek to complement the genders. Our implementation in local churches has been that women are only “allowed” to teach other women or children (and even then only up to a certain, undefined age of accountability when a boy becomes a man and a woman is no longer allowed to have authority over him). This is primarily based on 1 Timothy 2:12. But what if “prophecy” and “exhortation” are different than “teaching”? Are women still prohibited from publicly displaying those gifts?

It seems to me that our understanding and practice of Complementarianism has actually failed to complement the genders because it has removed the public opportunity for women to demonstrate gifts Scripture clearly says are open to women. I realize that by even entertaining these thoughts I am opening a can of worms that will likely be strung end t0 end around me to quarantine me within the the Complementarian tent. But I just can’t help but wonder if we haven’t applied Paul’s idea of “teaching” and used it to exclude women from things they were never meant to be excluded from in the first place? What if the issue is not really gender roles but the role of Sunday in general and specifically sermons?

While I am not convinced by John Dickson’s position that the role of “teacher” that Paul excludes women from is no longer in play, I do agree with him that our modern sermons have lots and lots of “prophecy” and “exhortation.” Does that mean women should be able to preach? Can a woman preach under a male elder’s “authority”? What if a local church’s main emphasis for the Sunday sermon is not “teaching” but “exhortation”? I don’t have any good answers for these questions, but I think we need to be asking them if we really want a complementarianism that truly complements the genders.

I firmly believe that however we understand gender roles, we should celebrate the differences rather than pursue sameness. I believe that there are different gender roles and that this is God’s design. But I wonder, in our zeal to protect those differences, have we gone too far? Have we not gone far enough? How and when and to whom should women exercise the gifts God has given them and how can our local churches make this a priority?

Believe it or not, there was once a time in my life when I loved controversy. I used to like to debate. It didn’t even matter if I really believed what I was saying; I just wanted to see if I could convince you.

Over the years, as God has humbled me (not always comfortably), I have learned that part of the reason I like these types of exchanges is because I tend to be an external processer of ideas. I like interaction, dialogue and even push-back. This helps me sharpen my own ideas and be humble in the positions I do hold.

I say all of this because, as the writer of a blog, I realize that the internet can be a platform which simply perpetuates the cycle of loudly ignorant arguments. In fact, I’ve been thinking about a quote from Andrée Seu lately as I consider the exchange of opinions on the internet and beyond:

Not always right but never in doubt, that’s us. Name an issue and we line up with an opinion. Organic eggs versus nonorganic? Not only do I have a view on this, but if yours is somehow different from mine, I like you a little less somehow.”

I don’t want to be that guy. But part of the reason I like the internets is precisely because of the open exchange of ideas. I find that it challenges me, especially when I read things I disagree with. I’ve just been convicted that I ought to disagree a little quieter and more thoughtfully. But it’s still OK to disagree. As my friend Justin recently pointed out:

Learning to disagree without dehumanizing those with whom we disagree (and especially about issues tied to identity) is as important an expression of grace as simply siding with someone.

By now, you are wondering who I disagree with, right? Well, funny you should ask. I’ve been thinking a lot about a piece that appeared on The Gospel Coalition website back in March called “Why Serving the Common Good Isn’t Enough.” I don’t personally know the author and I contemplated trying to contact him to let him know that I would be publicly disagreeing with his piece but then I thought that since he already published this, that’s it is open to dialogue. What do you think? How should Christians in particular disagree with one another publicly? Because I do take issue with the piece. The general idea is summarized by the author:

The problem doesn’t lay in the actions themselves. Cleaning a beach or planting a community garden is well and good. But what makes Christians unique in the world? Is it these types of “common good decisions”? Absolutely not.

Later, we’re told:

What makes Christians unique is not their good deeds, but the message they bear of a man whose incarnation, life, death, and resurrection has permanently altered human history and now demands the loyalty of every human being. Christians are indeed called to good works (Eph. 2:10), but they are called to do them “in the name of Jesus.”

There is a deep tendency in the past several years among evangelicals to stress building community and engaging the broader world. But where is the concurrent revival of interest in evangelism? Christians who seek to live faithfully for God in the world must always marry their “common good decisions” with the words of the gospel. This doesn’t have to be annoying or necessarily happen every day, but all of us—whether we design homes or fix cars—must give a reason for the hope we have (1 Pet. 3:15).

But here something I’d like to question: who does the author have in mind? Who is he correcting? He mentions Gabe Lyons and Andy Crouch by name. Is he calling them out for only “serving the common good” without declaring Truth about Jesus? And this is the first issue I have with this piece: while there are undoubtedly people guilty of what the author alleges: serving the “common good” to the exclusion of verbally sharing about Jesus, I’ve simply never encountered anyone like this. The author stresses this concern:

In contemporary evangelicalism, many pastors have awakened to “common grace” and “common good decisions.” But in the process some have forgotten the very public role of “special grace,” that message of God’s redemption in Jesus that is meant for the whole world.

But who is he talking about? I travel in several “missional” circles and have friends with varying levels of Evangelical merit badges. But I have never met a single “missional” pastor who stresses demonstrating Gospel Love to the exclusion of declaring Gospel Truth. If the author is thinking of someone in particular, we need to know who it is. Otherwise, he’s done nothing but kick over a straw-man. It’s fine to argue with a position no one holds, but just admit that you’re doing so only to promote your own position. We owe it to one another to be as clear as possible. If this is a real issue, give me an example. The author corrects a position I’m not sure anyone actually holds. Which leads us to my second issue with the piece. We’ve already quoted the author as saying:

There is a deep tendency in the past several years among evangelicals to stress building community and engaging the broader world. But where is the concurrent revival of interest in evangelism? Christians who seek to live faithfully for God in the world must always marry their “common good decisions” with the words of the gospel.

I can’t help but wonder if the entire piece is simply based on a common but important evangelical misunderstanding. Notice that he separates out “evangelism” from the service of the “common good.” In other words, it’s the common notion that evangelism is separate from discipleship. It’s quite common for Christians to believe that the two are somehow separate. After all, “evangelism” is what we tell those who don’t yet believe in order that they may become Christians and “discipleship” is how we help them grow once they’ve become Christians, right? The common assumption is that “discipleship” begins after conversion and therefore, we must always stress the verbal proclamation of the Gospel.

But what if this notion isn’t right? Don’t get me wrong, we must verbally proclaim the Gospel, but what if evangelism is actually part of discipleship? What if it isn’t a “either/or” question but “both/and”? In other words, as I am serving those who don’t yet believe, what if I am seeking to interact holistically? Serving physical needs while regularly and intentionally talking about Jesus? When I have my neighbors over and they see the way we open our home, the way we deal with our kids, the way we deal with spills and broken lamps, when they hear the way my wife and I interact, we are discipling them.

What if there is no distinction between evangelism and discipleship? What if evangelism is simply a part of discipleship? What if Gospel proclamation is always, always, always part of discipleship, no matter where someone is along the spectrum of faith? We do not stop proclaiming the Gospel once someone professes belief. Nor do we neglect serving others simply because there’s no chance to preach at them. We are always “evangelizing” one another in the context of tangible service. I can’t help but wonder how much damage this separation of “evangelism” from real life has caused.

While the author is concerned that too many Christians are “serving” without “proclaiming,” I can’t help but consider the exact opposite: I’ve encountered far too many Christians who are far too quick to tell someone they are going to hell without Jesus (which may indeed be true) but far too slow to demonstrate God’s love in tangible ways. What if the stress on proclamation limits the stress on demonstration? We’ve simply weighted the see-saw to the other side.

What are your thoughts here? I am entirely open to the possibility that I have misunderstood the author’s position and filtered it through my own experiences. But I am also open to the idea that Christians can publicly push against one another’s positions for the betterment of all. After all, the internet’s got to be good for something, right?

 

It’s interesting to think through some of the implicit assumptions we pick up along the path of life. Like that weirdly glinting rock that you couldn’t take your eyes off of it, so you put it in your pocket and them promptly forgot the reason it attracted you in the first place. The Christian life is one of growth and change. We are not the same people we once were. Nor are we now who we are yet to become. What’s best for us in one season of life may or may not be the right fit years later. It is also possible that we might not have been ready for that season, had it dawned earlier in life.

Certain things become fixtures for certain seasons of life. A certain church family might be a good fit, providing you with the challenge and growth you need for a certain phase of life, but you can’t imagine going back to it years later. And that’s OK. Because the Christian life is about growth. And just like you may need a certain church’s emphasis during a particular phase of life, not every local church is for every person.

Every local church has, for lack of a better way to put it, a “personality.” And not every local church is the best fit for every person. This was an interesting conclusion to come to as a church planter. The implicit (and sometimes explicit) advice is to get as many people as you can as quickly as you can and hold on to them for as long as you can. Because that’s “success,” right? Pardon my sarcasm.

But if the goal is to get as many people as you can as quickly as you can and hold on to them for as long as you can, then you will, by necessity, water-down your own vision in order to please as many people as possible. Thus, we have many church planters now pastoring churches they themselves might not even be a member of if it were up to them. Every local church has its own culture. There ought to be certain things that are universal to Christian communities:  love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control, sacrificial love for one another, etc. But there are also millions of possible contextual variables from that point forth.

You are not best friends with just anyone. In fact, if you’re like most people, there are only a handful of people that you really connect deeply with in your lifetime. And everyone gravitates towards different people and that’s a beautiful thing because it celebrates the uniqueness of the personalities God has given us. But it’s not just that deep-level connection that is selective and unique. Not everyone line dances. Not everyone likes football. Not everyone crochets. Not everyone yodels. Not everyone likes NASCAR or American Pickers. Some people like Bob Dylan and some people like Prince and some people like both. So we clump with those who share our peculiar particulars. And that’s OK as long as we remember that our peculiarities are no better or worse than someone else’s, so let’s celebrate all the weirdness instead of judging other people’s pop culture weaknesses.

So we need to learn to know ourselves. And we must find environments where we are encouraged to truly become sanctified versions ourselves rather than watered-down versions of someone else. And not every person is going to find that in every local church. That doesn’t mean that if you just don’t like any of the churches in your area that you can sacrifice Christian community because all of your preferences aren’t being met. That’s selfish consumerism. You may have to make compromises to be in Christian community, but remember, it’s most likely just for a season of your life. The day will come when you can’t imagine going back to be a part of that church because you’ve grown so different from that time in your life. But that day also dawns with the realization that you would not be the person you are now without that time in your life.

So be thankful now. And let’s all become sanctified versions of ourselves rather than watered-down versions of someone else.

Why, hello there. How in the world are you? Anything new? No, really? Don’t give me oh, just more of the same-ol’, same-ol bullcrap. Really. How are you? How is your soul? What is God teaching you right now? Do you have joy?

Now that we have the ice-breakers out of the way, welcome, once again, one and all, to The Weekly Town Crier. A place where I pass along things I have found interesting throughout the week because I thought you might find them interesting. Then again, you might not. And that’s OK too. It’s cool. I get it.
