Should We Divide over Perspective on Gender and Service?
By: Guest Author | May 2, 2010
All Scripture is from TNIV, with my underlining.John 17:22-23 (Jesus speaking) I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one— I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent [...]
Receiving Truth
By: Caroline Park James | April 28, 2010
In understanding the struggle for freedom biblically, I found myself resonating with the woman at the well, in John 4. She lived under social constraints, which is why she made her daily trip to the well at the hottest, most isolated point of the day. She wanted to avoid gossip and disdain from other women because [...]

By: Kay F. Rader | April 7, 2010
My personal legacy as a minister of the gospel began when, as children, my two sisters and I never once heard from our father, "You can't do that; you're a girl." This legacy continued into my adult life as I followed God's call to me to serve him as an ordained minister (officer) within The [...]

I have read a lot of Christian dating books. A lot. I started reading them in high school, as a new Christian. And then when I became passionate about biblical equality, I read even more, in order to analyze their teachings on gender. Through my reading, I have found that the vast majority of books [...]
Practical Implications
By: Philip B. Payne | March 24, 2010
The classic statement repudiating ethno-religious, socioeconomic, and gender discrimination in the church is Galatians 3:28: "There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus." It affirms equality in Christ that transcends each of the three major social barriers to privilege. According to Hanz Dieter Betz [...]
