By: Jeff Miller | September 29, 2013

Male Rule a Biblical Ideal? (Part Two)
By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | September 11, 2013
Last week I considered the flawed logic coupled with the lack of biblical support of those who advance male authority as a biblical ideal. This week I will offer a brief response to the more detrimental aspects of these errors. For each assertion ascribing “masculine” qualities to leadership, we’ll consider the biblical evidence. 1. Jesus [...]
My Journey
By: Geneva Chinnock | September 9, 2013
I recently traveled to Israel for a tour of biblical sites. The unexpected beauty of the Galilee, the historic walls of Jerusalem, and the tranquility of the Garden Tomb highlighted my trip but my most cherished memory was standing in the muddy Jordan River asking my daughter the essential question that every pastor asks before [...]
