A Liberated Denomination Liberates Women
By: Mary Seltzer | June 6, 2001
I was born into a Christian home, and my mother and father both believed in no smoking, no drinking, no card playing, no movies, no TV and no dancing. In high school I was always pulled out of gym class during the square dance unit, and I had never seen a movie until I was [...]
Pushed to Procreate
By: Marlene A. Stelter | June 5, 2001
The “bitter” aspects of the recollections stemmed from the spiritual abuses we had suffered as a result of erroneous religious teachings. In some home schooling ministries, legalism (righteous standing conferred through adherence to rules and regulations) is prevalent. Had it not been for my husband’s and my childhood mooring in “Sola Fide” — justification by [...]
A Tribute to Marion Haefele Longman
By: Karen Longman | June 5, 2001
“Zest for living” are three words that describe how Marion Haefele Longman has influenced my life.
CBE’s Mission and Envisioned Future
By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | June 5, 2001
When God raises up a ministry to help build his church throughout the world, he equips and gifts believers and gives them a vision for that ministry. We notice biblical examples in Nehemiah, Jesus’ disciples, Paul and the believers in Acts 2. God is still gifting believers and giving them a vision for ministry today. We [...]
The Spiritual Impact of Mom
By: Kevin Bausman | March 6, 2001
When we read an obituary in the newspaper, we see the visible side of a person’s life — his or her church or organization memberships and accomplishments in life. What we don’t read, however, is how the person touched others in some special way. I’d like to share how Mom spiritually touched the [...]
Women: Potluck Planners or Partners?
By: Keith Nystrom | March 6, 2001
I’m not sure if I ever totally believed that the Bible mandated inequality between the sexes, but that’s just the way it was. I grew up in a church that didn’t necessarily preach such inequalities, but practiced them none the less. By their example I understood that there was a “man’s [...]
A Loving Tribute to Mom
By: Wendy Bausman | March 6, 2001
When the news of my mom’s death spread throughout my congregation and the naval base in Port Hueneme, Calif., I began to learn about the kindred spirit that exists among women who have lost their mothers. These women cried with me and told me, “There is something deep that happens in our souls when [...]
Discovering God’s Design
By: Julia Bloom | March 6, 2001
I grew up in fundamentalist churches where women were taught to know their “place” and stay there. My parents accepted these ideas in theory, but not so much in practice, and at the same time they questioned many of the other things these churches taught. During my freshman year of college, my parents ended their [...]
And the Truth Will Set You Free!
By: Faith Totushek | March 6, 2001
Each time I read Ephesians, I shuddered inwardly upon reading Chapter 5: “Wives submit to your husbands.” This passage was a neon light blinding me to the rest of the book. I felt the same shame when I read other passages with directives to women regarding silence, submission or authority. The worst was 1 Timothy 2, which implied [...]
Women Beyond the Cave
By: Melody Green | March 6, 2001
As women we should be encouraged. We may be soft on the outside, but we’re strong and mighty in spirit. We are God’s secret weapons and the enemy knows it. He takes us seriously, even when others don’t. The enemy’s strategy has been to keep us quiet and in hiding. But [...]
