Taste And See That God Is Good
By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | September 5, 2000
Egalitarians essentially face the same challenge encountered by the abolitionists and suffragists. Not only did they have to argue that the existing social structure was inferior and unbiblical, but they had to actually show that the new idea was superior and more closely aligned with Scripture.
From Male Superiority To Mutual Submission
By: John R. Kohlenberger III | September 5, 2000
In his treatment of women as equals, Paul followed Jesus’ lead. Jesus defined servant-leadership in Matthew 20:28 (NRSV), “the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life a ransom for many.”
Is 'Woman' A Dirty Word?
By: Michelle D. Davison | September 5, 2000
“Lord, help me to know where you have gifted and motivated me to serve, so that I might be more fully used by you.” This had become my heart’s cry, yet as I began to sense the direction of the Lord in my life like never before, the doors of the church seemed to [...]
Finding Freedom in a Fair God
By: Mary Duncan | September 5, 2000
Imagine my surprise after becoming a Christian to learn that God does not consider women to be equal with men! I grew up in a non-Christian home. My mother and father were divorced when I was a year old. Mom remarried when I was three years old, and subsequently had four more children by my [...]
Called To Climb
By: Karen Lichlyter-Klein | September 5, 2000

The Head Of The Wife?
By: Dorothy G. Stevens | September 5, 2000
"For the husband is the head of the wife, is that not what the Bible says?" my friend asked in all earnestness. "No," I replied, "that is not what the Bible says. Paul says that the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church. How is Christ the [...]
Husbands, Respect Your Wives
By: Nils Swanson | June 6, 2000
When I have heard discussion about love and respect it is often applied as gender specific: a woman needs love, a man needs respect. But it isn’t that cut and dry. Men need to be loved as well, and women need to be respected, too.
My Mother in the Ministry
By: Dan Gentry Kent | June 5, 2000
When I was growing up in small towns in East Texas, I heard many a minister refer to some older man as his “father in the ministry.” It was only as I neared my own retirement that I realized that I had been blessed by a “mother in the ministry.” If you can have [...]
Mutual Submission is God's Plan
By: Verna Mae Kwiatkowski | June 5, 2000
It was all I could do to keep from applauding as I sat in church last week listening to the pastor speak about submission: a characteristic of Christian life.
Commune Experience Taught Me To Trust God More
By: TeriLynn Ruonavaara-King | June 5, 2000
That was my introduction to the commune. God was indeed working there at that time, and he sent me there to learn. There were many wonderful things I learned with that group: how to pray, how to worship, how to study the Bible and how to yield to the Holy Spirit.
