Editor's Reflections | Summer 2008 (22.3)
By: William David Spencer | July 30, 2008
Ministries come. Ministries go. For the last twenty-six years, my wife and I have been teaching with Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary (GCTS). Occasionally, I pause and wonder: How exactly did A. J. Gordon and Russell Conwell pull this off? How did they each establish a ministry that not only lasted throughout their lifetimes, but went [...]
The Aggressive Christianity of Catherine Mumford Booth
By: Mary Agnes Maddox | July 30, 2008
The American holiness movement of the mid-nineteenth century provided a fertile seedbed for women preachers responding to the Spirit’s prompting. One such woman became the mother of a whole army of daughters, following their heroine into battle for the Lord. It was Catherine Mumford Booth (1829–1890), cofounder with her husband of The Salvation [...]
Catherine Booth, The Salvation Army, and the Purity Crusade of 1885
By: Roger J. Green | July 30, 2008
As the numbers of converts grew, William and Catherine Booth organized that mission into an Army—a Salvation Army, taking advantage of the military imagery so common in nineteenth-century England with all the pageantry that such imagery afforded. The Army grew rapidly in Great Britain, and its ministers (officers) and laypersons ( [...]
Lest We Lose Our Legacy
By: Paul A. Rader†, Kay F. Rader | July 30, 2008
Catherine Booth was a formative influence in the founding of The Salvation Army. The movement, in fact, was co-founded by William and Catherine Booth. True, William Booth has been most often referred to as the Founder and Catherine as the Army Mother, but her influence was pervasive. She was his closest confidant and most candid [...]
Holy Spirit Interceding (Romans 8:26–27)
By: Ruth Hoppin | July 30, 2008
Flame of far celestial fire, lighting every high desire, promised gift of Christ’s ascending, still a heavenly flame descending on each soul with Spirit gifting,
Vocational Identity and Direction
By: JoAnn Streeter Shade | July 30, 2008
Throughout the last quarter of the twentieth century, women began to enter the seminaries of the United States in record numbers. Upon graduation, many sought ordination and have served well in various ministry positions for many years. These same women now find themselves sitting on empty nests, entrenched in the “good old [...]
Headship: Laying Down Authority
By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | July 30, 2008
How often have you heard a sermon celebrating love as the primary characteristic of male headship? The fact that few of us have is curious when you consider the number of times Paul asks husbands to love their wives in Ephesians 5. Love your wife, Paul tells husbands, just as you love your own body and [...]
God and Sarah
By: JL P | July 29, 2008
We hear about how God used Abraham to establish the nation of Israel through whom the Messiah would come, and we hear how Abraham’s faith helped accomplish this. We also hear about Abraham’s faults, and how God accomplished His will through Abraham in spite of them. But do you know that God used [...]
Customs and Traditions
By: Alvera Mickelsen | July 23, 2008
Almost everything we do is based on custom or tradition. The languages we speak, the food that we eat, the clothes we wear, even our religious beliefs. Learning another language is difficult; to eat food different from our usual fare is not easy. Most of us hold religious beliefs and attend a church similar to [...]
The Unfolding Fullness of Christ
By: William J. Webb | July 20, 2008
Listening to the redemptive spirit even within Scripture’s difficult slavery texts is essential for Christians who want to live out a faith that unfolds the fullness of Christ in our world. This general session will develop “movement meaning” within the text of Scripture and, in particular, within the slavery texts and then draw parallels to [...]
