Hillsong Church shuts down Dallas operations after married pastors quit for using worshipper donations to fund their luxury lifestyle <\/strong>
By Adam Schrader and Lauren Fruen For Dailymail.com01:16 BST 11 Apr 2021 , updated 00:59 BST 12 Apr 2021
\u2022 Hillsong founders Brian and Bobbie Houston announced that the Australian-based megachurch is shutting down its Dallas operations in an email to members<\/strong>
\u2022 The Houstons addressed the church’s investigation into former Dallas pastor Reed Bogard and his wife, Jess Bogard<\/strong>
\u2022 In January, it was revealed that the Bogards and other church staff allegedly used worshipper donations to fund their lifestyles <\/strong>
\u2022 The Houstons said that Reed Bogard had been suspended from ‘his pastoral duties’ while the church reviewed complaints from members<\/strong>
\u2022 ‘Early in our process, the Bogards decided to resign from Hillsong Church. We accepted their resignations,’ the Houstons wrote <\/strong>
\u2022 Anna Crenshaw, now 23, told the Christian Post this week that Jason Mays, a married Hillsong staff administrator, assaulted her at some point before 2018<\/strong>

\u201cWe received several complaints regarding Reed Bogard\u2019s failure to uphold the standards of Hillsong leadership. We suspended him from his pastoral duties as we initiated a review into these incidents,\u201d the Houstons wrote, adding that the Bogards \u201cdecided to resign\u201d early in the investigation process, which has since concluded. Citing investigation participants\u2019 privacy, the email only vaguely details the pastors as having \u201cfailed to meet the commitments and standards\u201d of Hillsong, before offering a brief apology \u201cto those who felt disappointed or hurt.\u201d

‘A number of things in the article are factually wrong, but abuse is NEVER OK,’ he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘My understanding is Anna was originally abused in her father’s church in Pennsylvania. That makes it sadder. Whether abuse happens in Pennsylvania or Australia, it’s tragic.’

carllentz Our time at HillsongNYC has come to an end. This is a hard ending to what has been the most amazing, impacting and special chapter of our lives. Leading this church has been an honor in every sense of the word and it is impossible to articulate how much we have loved and will always love the amazing people in this church. When you accept the calling of being a pastor, you must live in such a way that it honors the mandate. That it honors the church, and that it honors God. When that does not happen, a change needs to be made and has been made in this case to ensure that standard is upheld. Laura and I and our amazing children have given all that we have to serve and build this church and over the years I did not do an adequate job of protecting my own spirit, refilling my own soul and reaching out for the readily available help that is available. When you lead out of an empty place, you make choices that have real and painful consequences. I was unfaithful in my marriage, the most important relationship in my life and held accountable for that. This failure is on me, and me alone and I take full responsibility for my actions. I now begin a journey of rebuilding trust with my wife, Laura and my children and taking real time to work on and heal my own life and seek out the help that I need. I am deeply sorry for breaking the trust of many people who we have loved serving and understand that this news can be very hard and confusing for people to hear and process. I would have liked to say this with my voice, to you, in person because you are owed that. But that opportunity I will not have. So to those people, I pray you can forgive me and that over time I can live a life where trust is earned again. To our pastors Brian and Bobbie, thank you for allowing us to lead, allowing us to thrive and giving us room to have a voice that you have never stifled or tried to silence. Thank you for your grace and kindness especially in this season, as you have done so much to protect and love us through this. We, the Lentz family, don\u2019t know what this next chapter will look like, but we will walk into it together very hopeful and grateful for the grace of God..

From the about the seventh century B.C. onward, there are fewer problems with Egyptian chronology. Several pharaohs from this time period are mentioned specifically by name in the Old Testament. They are Hophra, Necho, and Taharka, and the chronology of the biblical account concurs with the conventional dating of each of these kings\u2019 known history. The relative abundance of historical data for these later periods makes their timeline relatively unambiguous and serves to confirm the accuracy of the Bible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pharaoh Sesostris I is identified as the pharaoh who appointed Joseph over Egypt, with Joseph himself possibly being identified as Mentuhotep, Sesostris\u2019 vizier or prime minister. Sesostris III would have been the pharaoh who oppressed the Israelite slaves, and Sobekneferu, the daughter of Amenemhet III, was the princess who rescued Moses from the Nile. Neferhotep I was the pharaoh who refused to let the Israelites go and who subsequently drowned in the Red Sea with his army. https:\/\/answersingenesis.org\/archaeology\/ancient-egypt\/the-pharaohs-of-the-bible\/ BUT IF Jasejemra Neferhotep, o Neferhotep I, fue un fara\u00f3n de la dinast\u00eda XIII de Egipto, que rein\u00f3 de c. 1705 a 1694 a. C.\u200bEste soberano figura en el registro VI,25 del Canon Real de Tur\u00edn como Jasejemra Neferhotep, con un reinado de once a\u00f1os y un mes. THEN Some scholars believe that Hatshepsut may have been Pharaoh\u2019s daughter who raised Moses, and that Amenhotep II is a prime candidate for the Pharaoh of the exodus (see the article by Douglas Petrovich below). https:\/\/biblearchaeology.org\/current-events-list\/4795-egyptian-mummies-transported-in-lavish-procession-to-new-museum Aajeperura Amenhotep, \u200b Amenhotep II\u200b o Amenofis II, \u200b su nombre helenizado, fue el s\u00e9ptimo fara\u00f3n de la Dinast\u00eda XVIII de Egipto y rein\u00f3 de ca. 1427 a 1401 a.

Scholar Claims to Authenticate the Bulla of Servant of King Jeroboam II<\/strong>
Author: Bryan Windle Category: Breaking News Created: 15 December 2020
https:\/\/biblearchaeology.org\/current-events-list\/4763-scholar-claims-to-authenticate-the-bulla-of-servant-of-king-jeroboam-ii
Ben-Gurion University Professor, Yuval Goren, recently announced his authentication of a clay seal impression (bulla) of a servant of King Jeroboam II.  This announcement comes ahead of the publication of his scientific study in the Eretz Yisrael journal, which will later to be published in English in the Israel Exploration Journal.  The bulla\u2019s impression is almost identical to the much larger jasper seal that was discovered at Megiddo in 1904, and subsequently lost.  It bears the image of a roaring lion and a paleo-Hebrew inscription, \u201cl\u2019Shema eved Yerov\u2019am\u201d (Belonging to Shema the servant of Jeroboam).  Scholars believe Shema was a servant in the courts of the Israelite king Jeroboam II, who reigned in the 8th century BC.  The clay bulla was purchased in the 1980\u2019s without provenance from a Bedouin antiquities dealer for only 10 old Israeli shekels.  Given the lack of provenance, and the fact it was purchased so cheaply on the antiquities market, it was believed the seal impression was a forgery.  However, Goren developed a strict set of testing protocols involving a series of overlapping tests from a variety of disciplines.  One test involved removing a fragment of the clay to examine the mineral makeup and another analyzed the isotopic composition of the patina. He assembled an interdisciplinary team and studied hundreds of authentic seal impressions discovered in excavations to secure a reference point.   Goren began testing the artifact five years ago on the condition that it be turned over to the Israel Antiquities Authority if it proved authentic.  The authentication of the seal impression of Shema, the servant of Jeroboam, if accurate and properly understood, affirms the historicity of King Jeroboam II, son of Joash (2 Kings 13:13).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First-Temple-Era Golden Bead Discovered At The Temple Mount Sifting Project<\/strong>
Author: Bryan Windle Category: Breaking News Created: 09 December 2020
https:\/\/biblearchaeology.org\/current-events-list\/4758-first-temple-era-golden-bead-discovered-at-the-temple-mount-sifting-project
The Temple Mount Sifting Project recently announced the discovery of a gold granule bead dating back to the Iron-Age.  The cylindrical bead measures 6mm in diameter and 4mm in height, and is constructed of four layers, each consisting of tiny gold balls attached to one another.  The Co-Director of the Temple Mount Sifting Project, Dr. Gabriel Barkay, recalled that several almost-identical silver beads were found at Ketif Hinom. Similar gold beads were also found at Megiddo, at Tel el-Ajjul and at Tel el-Farah, in layers dated to the 12th to 9th centuries BC. Finding gold jewelry outside of graves or treasure troves is rare in Israel; in antiquity, gold jewelry was only worn by the rich, and not by the common people.  Scholars are unsure of the purpose of the bead, and whether it was worn by a wealthy person visiting the First Temple or by one of the important priests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
