Basic beliefs about the human person and the sanctity of life have consequences. Physicians and other providers with integrity must have the courage to stand up to ideological emperors, especially the ones with no clothes. And as frustrating as it is to be called “anti-science,” Christians must be prepared to defend created reality, and protect... Continue Reading

The BCO is very clear as to who the leaders of the church are—teaching elders, ruling elders, and deacons. All are ordained. No one should be appointed or “commissioned” to hold an officer-like position without being ordained as an actual officer…A deaconess is an officer-like position, or at least gives the appearance of being such.
