1 Sam 15:22b Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, And to heed than the fat of rams.
1Ti 3:2 An overseer, then, must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, temperate, prudent, respectable, hospitable, able to teach..7 And he must have a good reputation with those outside the church, so that he may not fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.
The opposite of the self-serving "It's better to ask forgiveness later than to get permission now", which was used to justify not submitting to WASC (which said "no" to adding the seminary as MacArthur admitted) in creating TMS. Go here for the audio (first portion, starting at time mark 4:50) (I don't endorse The WartburgWatch website.).
"The ends justify the means" Post-Modern pragmatism is not biblical--it's secular humanism and therefore can't honor the King of kings and Lord of lords.
