I ran across a couple of stories regarding John Frame's new book which he criticizes the teaching of WTS-W in its Two Kingdom emphasis. I am not up to speed on this, so can someone enlighten me.

My church is in the process in finding our next pastor. What are some crucial things to discover when talking with the pastor's wife. I know it is said that we are calling a pastor, not his wife, but still a wife is vitally important in her husband's ministry.

Our church experienced difficulties with our last two pastor wives over the last 5-6 years. Recently, the wife left the marriage, and the earlier one had sensitivity problems when her husband received criticism, she was insecure, and did not like it when her husband was called away to perform his pastoral duties.

So, what should a search committee look for, ask, and observe when talking with the wife? Are we out of line when thinking that the wife is part of her husband's ministry.

Recently my daughter went to an event called ‘Missions Fest’ and she was particularly impressed with one speaker by the name of Shane Claiborne.
Being her dad, I thought I would see why she was impressed by him. My first impression when I saw a picture of him I had concerns because he has long dreadlocks. However, I ignored that in order to listen to what he had to say. After listening to a few videos and reading a few articles by him, I actually could see why my daughter was impressed by him.
Shane Claiborne is truly hard not to like, in that he is very humble and he lives what he believes. This is also something that is admitted by some of his worse critiques. As such, when I read him if I wasn’t a discerning Christian, I would probably be very impressed with Shane.
However, what I started to notice is that it wasn’t so much what he said that I had a problem with, it is what he didn’t say. He spent a lot of time talking about fruit, such as helping the poor etc… and very little about theology. So much so that I still do not really know what he believes about the essential doctrines of the faith.
Doing more research, I noticed that he was in an evangelical branch of a movement called ‘The New Monasticism’. Probably the biggest tell tale sign that my suspicions are correct about him however is his biggest mentor is none other than the liberal Tony Campolo .
I could go on and on about things I found out about Shane Claiborne, but that isn’t actually why I am I started this thread.
Although, I am showing my daughter what my concerns are about Shane Claiborne. What I had in mind in addition to this is to find an alternative person to introduce to my daughter that combines solid doctrinal teaching that flows right into faith in action.

Can you think of someone that matches that description, that perhaps I could read or watch a video of?

When I think about someone who matches that description I think of someone like George Muller.

Psalm 93:1b, "Indeed, the world is firmly established, it will not be moved."

Psalm 102:25-26, "Of old You founded the earth, And the heavens are the work of Your hands. Even they will perish, but You endure; And all of them will wear out like a garment; Like clothing You will change them and they will be changed."

Pslam 104:5 seems to indicate that the earth is permanent. "He established the earth upon its foundations, so that it will not totter forever and ever."

So how do these passages correspond with 2 Peter 3:10 and 12? "But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a roar and the elements will be destroyed with intense heat, and the earth and its works will be burned up." "looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be destroyed by burning, and the elements will melt with intense heat."

Will the heavens and the earth be destroyed or "changed" or are they permanent?
