It's So Ingrained!!
By: Liz Sykes | February 28, 2012
This whole stereotyping of female and male behaviours begins in the cradle and never ends! Having had 4 sons and now, 6 grandsons we are surrounded by influences on boys which they just absorb without thought most of the time. Even though some of their parents try to instil values which are gender-free, the general populace, schools, [...]
From Complementarian to Egalitarian
By: Kristen Marble | February 22, 2012
If you had asked me four years ago about whether women could serve in ministry, I would have likely responded from my unexamined assumption that was built upon the patriarchal hierarchy I grew up around. It wasn’t that my family was particularly sexist or adherent to stereotypical gender roles; in fact, I grew up being [...]
Go and Say
By: Guest Author | February 19, 2012
Jesus said to her,“Stop clinging to Me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to My brethren and say to them, “I ascend to My Father and your Father, and My God and your God.” John 20:17 (NASB) On the evidence of two or three witnesses a matter shall be confirmed." ( [...]
Imaging the Biblical God
By: J. R. Daniel Kirk | February 15, 2012
Rachel Held Evans has drawn attention to John Piper’s recent declarations that Christianity has a masculine feel, and that this is, of course, great news for everyone–even women, whose feminine feel isn’t, apparently, part of what God intended for Christianity. Piper’s point is that God intentionally depicts himself in masculine imagery, and that this sets the [...]
On Jesus' Choosing Twelve Men
By: J. R. Daniel Kirk | February 15, 2012
In last week’s Arise, I responded to John Piper’s description of Christianity as a “masculine” religion. Today’s issue has to do with the significance of Jesus’ choosing of twelve men to be his disciples. This is one of several issues I take up in Jesus Have I Loved, but Paul?. The story within which this selection of the [...]
"I no longer live, but Christ lives in me"
By: Guest Author | February 13, 2012
To what extent does Christ's completed work on Calvary redeem all of life, and all of our relationships? If, as Scripture teaches, knowing Christ changes everything, should we expect and anticipate the power of the cross to renew our relationships as Christians? The early evangelicals asked similar questions—questions they answered with a high view [...]
An Evangelical Statement on the Trinity
By: Liz Sykes | February 11, 2012
CREDO EVANGELICO SOBRE LA TRINIDAD: Creemos que el único Dios vivo quien creó y reina sobre todo y que es descrito en la Biblia, es un Dios trino en tres Personas co-eternales y co-iguales, cada Persona siendo presentada como distinta pero igual; no como tres dioses separados, sino un Dios compartiendo igualmente honor, gloria, adoració [...]
Is God a Respecter of Persons?
By: TL K. | February 3, 2012
A new article on The Christian Post talks about beliefs that God is male centered, that God prefers males more than females and that God wants Christianity to have a “masculine feel”, whatever that is. Apparently, at a conference for pastors at the Minneapolis Convention Center on January 31, 2012, a well-known complementarian pastor stated that repeatedly [...]
Shifting Footings
By: Scot McKnight | February 1, 2012
Complementarians often shift their footings when it comes to Junia (Rom. 16:7). They want to find some argument on which they can stand to diminish the significance of the woman.
Does the title "Pastor" mean I'm power-hungry?
By: MaryAnn Nguyen-Kwok | January 31, 2012
I had a conversation once with a pastor and his wife that I have not been able to forget. My husband and I had been visiting that church for a few months and considering the possibility of making it our spiritual home. It was important to us, though, that the church valued women in leadership [...]
