God’s All-Inclusive Family Policy: Acts 1:12-14; 2:1-4, 17-21
By: CBE International | October 31, 1996
It is interesting to see how many times the word “all” occurs in the opening verses of the book of Acts. After identifying those who were included in the early followers of Jesus in the first chapter of Acts, we read in verse 14, “They all joined together constantly in prayer.”
Book Review: My Daughter a Preacher!?!
By: James R. Beck | October 31, 1996
While this book does not explore new territory regarding the issue of women in ministry, it does serve a useful purpose: This is an ideal book to give your pastor, especially if he is straddling the fence on this issue. One pastor speaking to other pastors can have a powerful impact.
Book Review: Women Caught in Conflict
By: Frances Hiebert | October 31, 1996
Groothuis clearly defines and describes Evangelical Feminism in contrast to other forms of feminism and in distinction from "traditionalism." Two other areas treated in the book make significant contributions from my point of view. One is the historical evidence that the church has accepted in its view of the role of women from the culture, [...]
From My Point of View: "Rightly Dividing the Word of Truth" About Domestic Violence
By: James V. Potter | July 31, 1996
“If wives were submissive like God intended them to be, there wouldn’t be any domestic violence” is a statement that I have heard over and over again during my years as a counselor. These comments have not all come from the lips of battering husbands, but from many Christian workers and members of the [...]
Snapshots of a Devout Woman
By: Patricia A. Halverson | July 31, 1996
A picture of a certain woman appears on three of the pages. A closer look reveals that in each of these three encounters between Jesus and this woman, she is at his feet. In two of the pictures, people are angry with her—but not Jesus. In only one photo is she speaking, and that [...]
Revisiting the Story of Martha
By: Linda Marion Montgomery | July 31, 1996
Of all the things I know about Martha, the most thrilling to me is the fact that she and Peter had almost identical Christological confessions (John 11:27, Matt. 16:16).
Who Was the “Chosen Lady” of 2 John?
By: Lamar Wadsworth | July 31, 1996
Here in this little letter is all the Bible tells us about the chosen lady: John had the highest regard for her as a colleague in ministry. She was well-known among the churches to which 1 John was written. She was a gracious and loving person.
Family Ties: A Contrast Between The First Christian Families And The Roman Family Environment
By: Marc Zeisloft | April 30, 1996
Confronted with the breakdown of the traditional family, we as Christians wonder how to minister to people in non-traditional family structures, and we also wonder what standards we should uphold in our own families.
The Butterfly Quilt
By: Doris Kramer | April 30, 1996
Ruth Hess felt a call from God. She had attended her monthly meeting of fellow quilters and at the end of their business agenda, one woman suggested that someone could go and teach quiltmaking to the women in the Kingston, Ontario, Prison for Women. God spoke to Ruth in that moment.
Lady-Wisdom: The Personification Of God’s Wisdom As A Woman
By: Tina Ostrander | April 30, 1996
In the Old Testament book of Proverbs, God’s infinite wisdom is personified as a woman. The association of divine wisdom with the feminine is not accidental. Social relationships in Israel reflected spiritual relationships between Israel and Yahweh. As a result of this basic analogy between the earthly realm and the heavenly realm, one can [...]
