Can Sex be Egalitarian?
By: Cristina S. Richie | December 5, 2011
Most people do not think of the Bible as a love manual, but, unsurprisingly, the Scriptures support the idea of egalitarian sex—both wife and husband exist for each other spiritually and physically when they make love.
Breaking Free from Favoritism
By: Emily Rice | December 5, 2011
Often when I've heard James 2 addressed in a sermon or in a Bible study, the message was a simple admonishment to “not show favoritism.” These lessons have their place in our image-conscious society. However, I believe there is a message within this passage that is more complex and more fundamental than the typical surface [...]
Patriarchy & Propaganda: Recognizing & Avoiding the Abuse of Power
By: G. David Korsen | December 5, 2011
Our challenge is to recognize, understand, and respond to the propaganda of patriarchy with discernment and courage, believing that “in Christ, the new creation has come: The old is gone and the new is here.” (2 Cor. 5:17).
The Paradox of Faith
By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | December 5, 2011
In trusting the teachings of the Bible we experience the expansive joy that comes not from saving our lives, but paradoxically, from giving them away.

The Bible's Answer to Human Trafficking (Part 1)
By: Boaz Johnson | November 30, 2011
What does the Bible teach regarding the prevention of human trafficking? The answer to this question will depend on our answer to the next question. Is human trafficking just a recent phenomenon, or has it been a problem throughout human history? If we answer that yes—it has been a problem throughout human history, then we [...]
Trinity Statement
By: Guest Author | November 30, 2011
The doctrine of Trinity has been the cause of much theological controversy over the centuries. In the 4th century, a preacher named Arius argued that Jesus was less than God the Father. In response, the council of Nicaea developed a comprehensive statement of faith upon which subsequent doctrine and theology has been measured for centuries. [...]

Many of us will gather with loved ones this week to give thanks for God’s abundance in our lives. Among the various delights we’ll enjoy include delicious foods prepared with family and friends, and an opportunity to pray and express our thankfulness for specific events from the past year. Somehow, verbalizing one’s gratitude to God [...]
Momentarily Persuaded
By: Trevor Sykes | November 23, 2011
From the very beginning of our ministry life together my wife (Liz) and I have had an egalitarian approach to both marriage and ministry. Way back then we were unaware of the extensive body of literature available that supports such a stance and so it was more of a preferred and personal way of doing [...]
Say Goodbye To Your Wedding Rings, Ladies...
By: H. Edgar Hix | November 17, 2011
“Therefore I want the men everywhere to pray, lifting up holy hands without anger or disputing. I also want the women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety, adorning themselves, not with elaborate hairstyles or gold or pearls or expensive clothes, but with good deeds, appropriate for women who profess to worship God. A woman [...]
