Voddie Baucham is prolific

Voddie Baucham is a prolific blogger! I just realized this after I came across his blog at his ministry’s website. I don’t know why I missed this for so long, but Voddie is quite the solid blogger! He doesn’t blog that regularly, but when he has, it’s been typical Voddie all the way!

(It’s interesting to note that I haven’t seen much permalinks to his blog flying around the Reformed blogsphere; he writes about some very pertinent ministry issues affecting our day & age and I would’ve thought more people would be talking about what he’s written.)

Nevertheless, Dr. Baucham (author, Bible teacher, professor, & pastor) explains in Oct.18 post why he objects to the contemporary Youth Ministry model. Voddie isn’t doing any more youth events as he calls for the abolishment of segregated “youth” ministry, contending that

• there is no clear biblical mandate for the current approach,
• the current approach may actually work against the biblical practice of family discipleship,
• the current approach isn’t working.

I’ve never thought much about this issue, but it’s going through my head now. Voddie also shares about the unsegregated, biblically-based Family Integrated Church (FIC) approach his church is taking, as well as how SBTS is going that direction too.

Be sure to check out Voddie’s blog! It’s sure to be a good read… I only wish he would have less cryptic links and would update more regularly!
