A Poisoned Mind
By: Nicholas Colby Watson Wolfe | September 5, 2011
Being married to her is the greatest happiness a man could feel. I could never love anyone more. My only desire is to love her and provide for her. I have made sacrifices for her, but she is worth every single one. I always want to be there for her. I want to save and [...]
Crying With Those Who Cry: Creating Empathy through Art
By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | September 5, 2011
As we discussed the biblical material related to gender equality and service, a male student raised his hand and said, “Look, I have no aspirations of becoming a preacher. I know I will never be like Billy Graham. But that does not bother me. I don’t see why women should be upset either.” With [...]
Oceans Breaking Over Rocks
By: Jennifer Kane | September 5, 2011
From the ends of the earth I call to you, I call as my heart grows faint; lead me to the rock that is higher than I (Ps. 61:2).
The Primary Colors of Our Moral Sense
By: CBE International | September 5, 2011
This story, from the point of view of a young girl, is about the collective responsibility of the church—male and female alike—to examine the type of environment we create not only through our theological stances, but also through our daily actions and interactions, so that we may make the church a safe and [...]
Damaris Who?
By: Kristina Robb-Dover | August 31, 2011
Her name was Damaris. Ever wondered about her? She appears to be somewhat of an afterthought, (one of Luke’s “oh, by the way” comments), as one of the “few” who believed upon hearing Paul’s speech in the Areopagus (Acts 17:22-34). Some biblical commentators speculate that to have been mentioned as a woman, she must have [...]
Treating Like Things Differently
By: David C. Cramer | August 24, 2011
“Here there is no Gentile or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all, and is in all” (Col. 3:11, NIV). Recently I read a poignant reflection on Colossians 3:11, which argued that Paul’s vision expressed in this verse erases all social divisions within the church. When we look at [...]

Can We Do Better?
By: Guest Author | August 19, 2011
A local Bible camp recently announced its schedule for the summer. “Headlining” the programming for girls camp is a tea party. You know, frilly hats, dainty gloves. Extended pinky fingers grasping sweet little tea cups.
The Oasis-Like Mentor
By: Young Lee Hertig | August 17, 2011
Every leader can point to numerous mentors who have refreshed and renewed them like an oasis in the desert. These are people who foresee our potential and guide us to reach our God-given calling in life. My PhD mentor, Paul G. Hiebert, was a third-generation Mennonite missionary to India and a professor at Fuller Theological [...]

By: Kristina LaCelle-Peterson | August 10, 2011
Sometimes obvious things are hard to see. Take, for instance, the fact that in the story of salvation God not only employed the gifts of women, but also did so at the most critical moments. This must say something about how God works.
