Messengers also voted to advance a proposed measure to prevent women from serving as a "pastor of any kind" as the denomination is one step closer to solidifying the rule as a constitutional amendment. Piper's remarks come after the Southern Baptist Convention garnered national attention for removing churches from membership that allowed women to hold the office of pastor.Īt the SBC Annual Meeting held in New Orleans, Louisiana, earlier this month, messengers voted overwhelmingly to reaffirm the dismissals of the Rick Warren-founded Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, California, and Fern Creek Baptist Church of Louisville, Kentucky. In the parachurch context, Piper believes Paul would say: "I have taught, Moses has taught, nature teaches that it goes against man's and woman's truest, God-given nature to place a woman in a role of regular, direct, personal leadership over men."
"So, the fact that Paul gave instructions for how this original design relates to the church in no way implies that it is limited to the church or the home. "Paul saw in the Genesis account of God's word that built into creation from the beginning, before the fall, was a peculiar responsibility of men to bear the burden of leadership and care," Piper continued. And Adam was not the one deceived it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner." Piper referenced 1 Timothy 2:12-14, which reads, "I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man she must be quiet. "A person who stands up and draws attention to God's word or the teaching of nature and questions the wisdom of undifferentiated sex roles will not only be thought a fool, but also unjust and, very likely, soft on abuse, even though all the while the sex-leveling egalitarian impulses wreak havoc at every level of our culture." It's all going to end tragically, the evidences of which are all around us," said Piper, the chancellor of Bethlehem College & Seminary in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Nobody in this free fall has on a parachute. "The culture as a whole is in a free fall of denial. Piper said he felt that it was "sad to hear" of the ministry's decision and considered the move to be an example of rejecting "God-ordained differences" between men and women because of "cultural, societal pressures."
Therefore, the commands addressed to churches about the role of men and women in relationship to one another do not apply in this case. The reason given for this change is that a parachurch organization is not the church. "Previously, these positions of spiritual authority over men were reserved for men alone. This includes campus leadership, regional leadership, and national leadership," the listener inquired.
Recently our leadership decided that all positions of leadership within the organization will be opened to women. "I work for a global parachurch organization which is well-known. In an episode of the "Ask Pastor John" podcast posted on Desiring God's website on Monday, a listener sent a message asking about female leadership in a parachurch ministry. Notable theologian, author and Bible teacher John Piper argued this week that women should not hold spiritually authoritative positions in parachurch organizations, believing that this runs afoul of "God-ordained differences" between men and women.
