A Few Rambles

1. We are told in scripture that we must contend earnestly for the faith and call out false teachers. How should we do this in a local community? Example: lets say im a member of the first baptist in a community and there is another baptist church that embraces worldly phsycology, misinterprets the scripture through terrible topical preaching, and doesn't talk about sin. How should we deal with that in a community? I Don't know the answer, just askig the question.

2. you know, i see the point to some degree about women preachers. Now I believe they are wrong for having them, but think of this, If you interpret the headcovering thing as cultural and women staying silent in church as cultural, well you might as well interpret pauls command for women not to teach as cultural too. I personally have never been given a reasonable explanation for headcoverings being cultural. You may disagree with me, lets hug and not draw swords on that issue.

3. How dogmatic should we be about expositional preching? Im convinced through Experience it is a better diet than topical, but I don't know exactly how dogmatic we should be about it. I just don't want to go around being dogmatic when I don't have a bible verse to back it up.
