FWBC Musicians' Conference 2026 Guidelines

 

1. All sessions are optional for those 18 years old and over. Come and go as you please.

 

2. Anyone under 18 at the building needs to be participating in a session if one is on the schedule at that time. Minors should not leave the building to roam the parking lot at any time.

 

3. The music genres at this conference will be limited to psalms, hymns, negro spirituals, folk tunes, and classical music. The focus will be on hymns.

 

4. There will be no CCM, praise and worship style music, pop, rock, country, rap, etc.

 

5. Break-out sessions will be threefold: song-leading (room 1), piano (auditorium), and guitar (room 2).

 

6. Men whose main instrument is something other than piano or guitar should join the song-leading classes.

 

7. Women whose main instrument is something other than piano or guitar should join the guitar class. We will try to have some extra guitars.

 

8. If you have an extra keyboard or guitar that isn't too expensive, bringing it for others to borrow would be helpful.

 

9. We can store your instrument overnight.

 

10. Good luck finding a decent hotel near the church! (plan to stay a little further away, maybe near the airport)

 

11. Jam sessions will be threefold:

 

                  a. The main session in the auditorium which will simulate congregational singing in church. All song leading pupils will take turns leading the song, and instrumentalists will play along. We will start at song 1 in the hymnal and realistically reach around song 100 by the end of the conference.

 

                  b. An easier, casual jam session will be held in room 1 for those who are not capable of playing along with the main jam session. No goofing off!

 

                  c. Advanced musicians can collaborate and work on composition during this time in either room 2 or room 3.

 

12. Enjoy the conference and thank you for attending!

Observations on Roger Jimenez's Resignation

  

"I want to be clear: I stepped down due to moral sin."

 

How is this clear? This is the opposite of clear since no one knows what "moral sin" is. There is no such thing as "moral sin." "Moral sin" is literally an oxymoron since sin isn't moral.

 

Here is one possibility for what this means: modern churches will sometimes refer to sexual sin as "immorality," and modern Bible versions replace the word "fornication" with "immorality" or "sexual immorality." Maybe "moral sin" means "sexual sin"? Why not just say that then?

"I have not committed adultery with another person."

The last 3 words here are totally unnecessary and awkward. Why not just say, "I have not committed adultery"? Did you commit adultery by yourself? If this were simply porn, wouldn't it be much simpler to just say "porn"?

 

Did you commit adultery with multiple women? "Persons" plural instead of "another person" meaning one other particular person?

 

I am not claiming to know the answers to these questions, and I am not accusing him of anything in particular. I am just pointing out the weirdness of his vague, meaningless statements.

"This was a voluntary resignation that I initiated."

 

There are 2 facts that prove that he was busted this week, and that he did not know this was going to happen this week. He was caught off guard.

1. His last sermon was called "The End of Jeroboam: When Trouble Exposes Your Idols." If his resignation were premeditated, this would not have been his last sermon. Who ends his 15 year ministry with a sermon called "The End of Jeroboam"? Jeroboam was the bad guy in the story who split the kingdom and taught false religion. The timing was an act of God, not planned by Jimenez.

 

2. He was scheduled to preach at a church in Fresno this Sunday (1/18/26). This was abruptly canceled at the last minute. Pozarnsky uploaded a video saying that they were "actively" working on scheduling a new date for Pastor Jimenez to preach in a few weeks’ time instead (which clearly was not true). If he had planned on resigning, he would have canceled this meeting sooner or never scheduled it in the first place. It was canceled last minute with BS about rescheduling "a few weeks" from now due to Jimenez being caught off guard.

 

"My wife and children plan to remain at Verity."

 

So, his wife and children will attend church, but he won't? Will he simply stay home? Will they attend two different churches? How does that work? Are they splitting up? "She can leave" claims another victim?

 

"The church trustees are following the guidelines of our church bylaws to find a new pastor."

 

My hope and prayer for Verity is that they get the best possible pastor who can right the ship and lead them to future greatness. Stedfast went through a horrible scandal and went on to become far greater than ever and do incredible works for God. Verity can do the same thing.

 

You stay great the way you became great. Verity needs to get back to their roots. They need to get back to being a hard preaching, NIFB church. That's what made them great. Over the last year and a half, they have been going a bad direction and have been in decline. If they continue down that road, they will continue on that same course of ruin. They need to do something different to fix the problem. Hopefully the right element at Verity will prevail, and we will see them restored to their former greatness.

"Private" NIFB Doctrine or Mainstream Christian View?

I was recently accused of teaching a strange doctrine with regard to Leviticus 20:10. What I said was that the verse is very specific in only prescribing the death penalty when adultery involves a married woman. 

The reality is that my interpretation is the mainstream Christian view, and every major Bible commentary agrees with me. 

Matthew Henry’s Commentary on the Whole Bible (1708–1714):

"The sin of adultery [Leviticus 20:10] is committed when any man lies with a married woman, defiling another man’s wife. The law does not reckon a married man’s commerce with an unmarried woman as the same offense, for the wife’s fidelity is the chief concern."

The JPS Torah Commentary (Baruch A. Levine, 1989):

"In Leviticus 20:10, adultery is intercourse between a man and a married woman, infringing on the husband’s prerogatives. The law’s asymmetry stems from a system where men could have multiple partners, but a married woman’s infidelity threatened family structure."

The Pulpit Commentary (H.D.M. Spence and Joseph S. Exell, 1890):

"Leviticus 20:10 prescribes death for both parties in adultery, defined as a man with another’s wife. The man’s marital status is not considered, as the law protects the sanctity of the husband’s marriage, not the reverse."

The Anchor Bible Commentary (Jacob Milgrom, 2000):

"Adultery in Leviticus 20:10 is defined as sexual relations with a married or betrothed woman, violating her husband’s exclusive rights. A married man’s relations with an unattached woman do not constitute adultery, as the law reflects a patriarchal concern for lineage and property."

Keil and Delitzsch Biblical Commentary on the Old Testament (19th century):

"The law [Leviticus 20:10] refers to the illicit intercourse of a man, whether married or not, with a woman who is another’s wife... The offense is against the husband’s rights, and the marital status of the man is irrelevant, as polygyny was not forbidden."

The Expositor’s Bible Commentary (R. Laird Harris, 1990):

"The offense in Leviticus 20:10 is a man lying with another man’s wife, regardless of his own marital status. A married man’s relations with an unmarried woman were not deemed adulterous, as the law protected the husband’s exclusive claim over his wife."

The Wycliffe Bible Commentary (Charles F. Pfeiffer, 1962):

"Adultery in Leviticus 20:10 pertains to a man, married or not, who defiles a married woman. The law’s focus is on the violation of the husband’s marriage, not on a married man’s actions with an unattached woman, consistent with Israel’s patriarchal structure."

The Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges (A.T. Chapman, 1913):

"The sin of Leviticus 20:10 is committed when a man has intercourse with a married or betrothed woman, infringing on her husband’s rights. The law does not penalize a married man’s relations with an unmarried woman, as polygyny was permitted."

The Torah: A Modern Commentary (W. Gunther Plaut, 1981):

"Leviticus 20:10 defines adultery as sexual relations involving a married woman, emphasizing the breach of her husband’s authority. A married man with an unmarried woman incurs no such penalty, reflecting the asymmetrical gender norms of ancient Israel."

The New Interpreter’s Bible Commentary (Walter C. Kaiser Jr., 1994):

"Leviticus 20:10 addresses adultery as a man’s sexual involvement with a married woman, violating her husband’s rights. The law’s silence on a married man with an unmarried woman reflects the cultural norm of polygyny, where only the wife’s fidelity was strictly regulated." 

Here is a video of me teaching this "privately" to hundreds of people in a sermon on October 3, 2021:
