A Man Will Leave His Father and Mother
By: Alvera Mickelsen | November 18, 2009
Genesis chapter 2 begins by telling how God created the garden of Eden; how God created man from the dust of the ground, giving him the work of caring for it and the command not to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil lest he die; and how God brought the animals [...]
Cultural Preferences or Biblical Absolutes
By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | November 11, 2009
Have you ever visited your local Christian bookstore as an exercise in gender studies? Notice as you walk down the “women's” aisle how all the books take on shades of pink and lavender. Have a careful look, also, at the material published for boys and girls. Observe the abundance of materials geared to make your [...]
Something Beautiful?
By: Yvette Menking | November 9, 2009
Imagine a sanctuary filled with teachers and students of various ages singing: “It’s the child on his wedding day, It’s the mommy that gives him away, Something beautiful”A child on his wedding day… given away. Pause for a moment and think about that. Young, teenage boys married off to older, wiser, and [...]
Women Prophets of the Old Testament
By: Richard S. Hess | November 4, 2009
Although there may have been many female prophets in Old Testament times, five receive specific mention. Two of these, the prophetess who bears the son named Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz (Is. 8:3) and the prophetess Noadiah who is associated with opponents of Nehemiah (Neh. 6:14), receive brief mention and do not perform the tradition roles of prophecy. The remaining woman [...]
Does Genesis 1-3 Teach Hierarchy?
By: Allison J. Young | October 28, 2009
Adam calling Eve “woman” does not indicate Adam’s authority over her; rather, it is an expression of the similarities that they share, as Adam exclaims “This at last is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; this one shall be called woman, for out of man this one was taken” (Gen. 2:23).
A leads to B ?
By: Liz Sykes | October 26, 2009
"Let a woman into the pulpit and the next thing you'll have a homosexual - as surely as A leads to B" When this was said to me some years ago I replied that I failed to see the connection between the two situations and to this day I am amazed that women and homosexuals [...]
A Reason for a Deep, Persistent Hope
By: Megan Greulich | October 21, 2009
At a small group meeting a few weeks ago, my leader posed a straight-forward but difficult question: “Why are you a Christian?” As each of us in the circle took a turn responding, my immediate thought was, simply, “hope.” Because of Christ, I have hope that no matter how overwhelming or difficult situations may become, [...]
Mutual Submission in Self-Sacrficial Love
October 14, 2009
Instead, be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another with psalms, hymns and songs from the Spirit. Sing and make music from your heart to the Lord, always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ. Wives, [...]
"Thou Shalt Not Tempt the Lord thy God"
By: Catherine Clark Kroeger | October 7, 2009
When I answered the telephone, I found myself listening to a weeping woman. Between sobs she explained that every three weeks or so her abusive husband strangles her into unconsciousness. Though a professing Christian, he suffocates her with pillows, locks her in closets, and leaves her in terror for her life. She has turned for [...]
Unite!
By: Yvette Menking | October 2, 2009
Concrete. Five broken slabs of ordinary-looking concrete carried around in their suitcases. My parents normally travel light (very light by American standards). But on one particular trip, they hauled home several pounds of stone-like material in their suitcases. Why? Inspired by their historical significance, my parents brought home one slab to keep for themselves and [...]
