The Clarity of Scripture
“How does one plant churches, teaching people to obey clear commands of Scripture that go in the opposite direction of many accepted norms of prevailing culture?” Allen Roth doesn’t stop with asking the difficult questions, but pushes us to be confident in scripture, humble in our understanding, and devoted to knowing scripture. “The Holy Spirit can’t bring to our memory scriptures we don’t know.
This episode develops themes from Allen’s essay “Planting an Anabaptist Church in a City” which you can read here or listen to here.
Episode Guest Info
Allen Roth
My wife and I (Allen Roth) have been involved in cross-cultural mission work and in church planting since 1978, first in Nicaragua, then in New York City where we have lived since 1986. We are the parents of three children and nine grandchildren scattered across the US and South Asia. It has been a wonderful journey which we consider to have been a great privilege and gift from God. Our vision and prayer is that God will awaken many in the Conservative Anabaptist churches across the US and Canada to hear God’s calling into church planting.
