Ready?
By: Chelsea DeArmond | December 5, 2004

By: Chelsea DeArmond | December 5, 2004
What do evangelical Christians mean when they use words like “equal,” “complementary,”—or even “biblical”—to describe the truth about gender?

Women, Poverty and the Micah Challenge
By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | December 5, 2004
The memories of child prostitutes on the streets of Bangkok are still swirling in my head. Even as the Lausanne prayer team walked and prayed through the streets of Thailand, one prostitute begged them to take her home. How can we encounter such suffering with- out longing to make a difference?
The Bible in Black and White
By: Chelsea DeArmond | December 5, 2004
The world places conditions on who may be welcomed, and even citizens of the most “civilized” nations welcome some and struggle to tolerate others. But the church is called to welcome all, not because of any system of classification or merit, but “because God has welcomed them” (Rom. 14:1ff; 15:7).
