God of Sarah, Rebekah, and Ruth
By: Mindy Withrow | February 15, 2008
I got used to hearing Scripture readings and having to internally translate “man” to “humanity” or “people;” to seeing women behind the piano but not the pulpit or conducting the children’s choir but not the adult musicians.
"I No Longer Live, But Christ Lives in Me"
By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | February 6, 2008
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 [...]
A Comparison of Husband and Wife to Christ and Church
By: Liz Sykes | January 31, 2008
I am amazed that the small part of Ephesians 5 which is translated "as Christ is head of the church" is extended and explained so that a husband is compared to Christ in so many ways.What is a simple comparison of the type of care which a husband is encouraged to give becomes in some [...]
God is at Work
By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | January 30, 2008
Three retired women volunteered at CBE’s office recently. As they worked, they reminisced about their youth—a time when hearing from a female evangelist was not that uncommon! In fact, our eighty-year old friends remembered having heard the female evangelist team Stockton and Gould preach and sing at some of the most prominent evangelical [...]
An Inductive Approach to Scripture
By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | January 23, 2008
I recommend to you the work of John Polkinghorne, the noted Christian apologist and Cambridge physicist. Working in the area of particle physics, Polkinghorne notes that the physical world does not always behave the way scholars and scientists expect. Because the world is so strange and mysterious, a critical analysis of any field will always [...]
"Yes, But Not Yet!"
By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | January 16, 2008
How many of us are in churches where we have been told that the time isn't right to consider the gender issue? Timing is everything, right? How many of us wonder when is the right time to model the example of women like Priscilla, who explained the way of the Lord to Apollos (Acts 18:6)? When [...]
Male Authority in the Church and Home, But Not Society?
By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | January 9, 2008
I came across a book recently that reinvigorated my dedication to the mission of CBE. This book argues that because men are God’s appointed leaders in the home they are therefore God’s chosen leaders in the church as well. As I read the author's perspective, I wondered why he failed to insist upon [...]
Kephale as 'Source' or 'Origin?'
By: JL P | January 8, 2008
Why do some people say that there is no evidence kephale can mean 'source' or 'origin?'The Henry George Liddell and Robert Scott Greek lexicon lists, among the possible meanings of the Greek word kephale (translated as ‘head’ in English), ‘source’ or ‘origin.’ This is the word translated ‘head’ in 1 Corinthians 11:3 ("Now I want you [...]
A Minister's Husband
By: MaryAnn Nguyen-Kwok | January 3, 2008
'You should learn how to play the piano or something... since you'll be a minister's wife someday.'An older gentleman said this to me as we were walking along toward the Sunday school class where my husband Sam and I were to share about our missionary experiences. When we were single, Sam and I had [...]
Reconciliation and Rebirth
By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | January 2, 2008
A friend of mine was recently asked to explain the gender prejudice noted in many Christian churches. Seated next to a stranger on an airplane, she was asked why the world’s major religions all fail to include women among their leaders. How would you have responded to this charge?
