Send us a text In this thought-provoking episode, "The Bible Is Still Sufficient, Part 1," we delve deep into the enduring relevance and authority of Scripture in the modern Christian life. Based on Richard Bargas' lecture, this discussion explores the critical connection between the doctrine of inerrancy and the sufficiency of Scripture, underlining how the Bible remains the ultimate guide for faith, counseling, theology, and daily living. Join us as we address contemporary challenges to the sufficiency of Scripture, including debates within Protestant circles about the role of tradition, creeds, and external authorities. We confront accusations of biblicism and explore the tension between sola Scriptura and the influence of historical-theological frameworks.

Just like a doctor’s diagnosis of a sick patient, statistical analysis can reveal strengths and highlight areas that need attention. By examining simple attendance numbers over time, church leaders can gain valuable insights into where their ministry is thriving and where thoughtful reflection, strategic adjustments, and prayerful decision-making are needed to foster growth and effectiveness.

Send us a text Richard Bargas discusses 8 reasons why many pastors don’t preach from the Old Testament and 7 reasons why all pastors need to make the Old Testament a regular part of the diet of teaching for the church. Some of these reasons are particular to dispensationalists who are careful to distinguish between Israel and the Church. While carefully following a consistent Literal Grammatical Historical hermeneutic (LGH), Richard Bargas wants to encourage pastors to take up the rich blessings of the Old Testament for the benefit of their congregations and their own souls.

Send us a text IFCA Executive Director Richard Bargas talks with his wife Wendy about the IFCA Women’s Fellowship and how IFCA exists not just for men, but to help our sisters in Christ as well. How does IFCA bless the women of the church? Through our annual convention on an international scale, but also within our local regional meetings, and within the local church. Touching on topics like how IFCA has helped churches develop women’s ministry in the local church context, how postmillennialism and the “trad wife” movement is both right and wrong, and how Titus 2 is supposed to bolster both practical ministry within the home as much as, if not more than, theological education for women. Finally, they tackle the growing trend for young pastor’s wives who have chosen to disengage from ministry at church and why this is unbiblical, and how it is often an overreaction to some churches abusing the role of a pastor’s wife.
