Baal in Your Home
By: Kuruvilla Chandy | October 31, 1999
If you are a conservative Christian, you may be worshipping at the altar of Baal. A conservative is anyone who wants to preserve the existing social order. While a conservative Christian may identify himself or herself as one who safeguards the orthodoxy of Christian doctrine, often there is also blind allegiance to customs having no [...]
Book Review: Is It Okay to Call God "Mother"?: Considering the Feminine Face of God
By: Mary Seltzer | October 31, 1999
Intellectually we know God is beyond gender; however, using only masculine pronouns sends image-shaping messages to our hearts and minds that are incorrect. By neglecting the feminine imagery for God, we have distorted our understanding of God.
Book Review: Is it Okay to Call God Mother?
By: Mary Seltzer | October 31, 1999
When I first saw the title, Is It Okay to Call God Mother, my mind raced ahead. Is this book promoting heresy? Is it theologically liberal, radically feminist, or new age? Yet, I was intrigued and decided to read the book. And, what a book it is! It is a must read for evangelicals! Is [...]
Mary, God's Servant: Her Story Retold
By: Linda Marion Montgomery | July 31, 1999
The New Testament is the earliest source for Mary. Galatians, possibly written around 57 AD, speaks of Jesus being “born of a woman” (Gal 4:4); that is our earliest reference to the mother of Christ. All the Gospels, probably written between 70 and 100 AD, testify to the existence of Mary.
Partners in Mission
By: Dan Gentry Kent | July 31, 1999
The emphasis in the New Testament is not on competition—it is rather on such qualities as unity, cooperation, and teamwork. These qualities remind me of my favorite Bible couple, Aquila and Priscilla.
Count the Cost
By: Gretchen Gaebelein Hull | July 31, 1999
We can rejoice that increasingly women are freed from unbiblical restraints, at last able to use their gifts as God calls. But we also recognize that this movement of the Spirit has not “just happened.”
Redemption: An Image Of Biblical Equality
By: LaDonna Osborn | July 31, 1999
One of the reasons that I am so drawn to CBE is that I see it as an international organization that relates to the peoples of the world and has a heart for the entire world.
Jessie Penn-Lewis: Revival and God's Word on Women
By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | April 30, 1999
Preaching throughout Great Britain, Scandinavia, India, Russia, and North America, Jessie Penn-Lewis taught the Bible’s affirmation of women in public ministry. Penn-Lewis believed the movement of the Holy Spirit, poured out on women and men throughout history, is always in harmony with Scripture. A prolific writer, Penn-Lewis wrote more than thirty books; many were [...]
Who Is Worthy to Minister?
By: Madeline Steele Johnston | April 30, 1999
One of the earliest splits in the church, born of uncompromising convictions, came precisely over the issue of who was worthy to minister, and the body of believers survived it! Looking back, historians and theologians view this split as a blessing for the church, because it doubled its ministerial force.
Women and Other Creatures: A Gender Debate
By: Joe E. Trull | April 30, 1999
The status of “women and other creatures” has been a topic of constant debate ever since the woman ate the forbidden fruit and the man blamed her and God for the consequences (Gen 3:9-12).
