Galatians 3:28
By: Faith Martin | January 31, 1995
Galatians 3:28 is quite clear. There is little doubt about the point Paul is making: In Christ we are all the same — we are equal with one another. Yet for all its clarity, this verse is the source of great debate. Controversy centers on how far the principle of believer equality is to [...]
The Legacy of Katharine Bushnell
By: Ruth Hoppin | January 31, 1995
How do we measure greatness? If by loftiness of purpose, we see Katherine Bushnell going to China as a medical missionary. We follow her across America and beyond its borders to several continents as she worked to reform conditions of human degradation. We read her closely reasoned exposition of Scripture as she tried to establish [...]

Our Foremothers: Kapiolani
By: Jo Ellen Heil | October 31, 1994
Have you ever met someone who quietly yet vividly made an impact on you? Let me introduce you to Kapiolani of Hawaii (??-1841).

Diabolic Directives On The Impending Feminine Advance
By: Austin H. Stouffer | October 31, 1994
My Dear Cohorts: The urgency of the occasion dictates the unprecedented action on my part of corresponding personally with all of you. Suffice it to say I would not interrupt your fiendish schedules were the matter not of utmost importance. I am deeply distressed with a new tactic the Enemy seems to be employing. [...]
The Anchoress, Julian Of Norwich
By: Linda Marion Montgomery | July 31, 1994
An anchoress was a woman vowed to chastity and stability of abode. She was enclosed in an anchorhold for life. There was no release from her cell until death, on pain of excommunication. The object of her life was contemplation, the unceasing concentration upon God in prayer.
Women and Revival Work: Acts 2:17-21—Revival’s Magna Charta
By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | July 31, 1994
In prayer this congregation asks for an out pouring of the Holy Spirit, but with an unspoken proviso, that God honor their gender bias: God may pour out His Spirit, but men alone may exhibit the Spirit’s empowering. Yet nothing seems further from the tenor of revival and the passage in Acts [...]
"A Wild Goose Chase" or Ella Sheppard & the Jubilee Singers
By: Jo Ellen Heil | July 31, 1994
Seven women. Four men. They called themselves The Jubilee Singers. One of America’s most astonishing successes, their music once rang out across the land. They changed the fabric of our culture by introducing spirituals to the American public for the first time. Yet their stories have been hushed.
From My Point of View: Women, Society and Self-Esteem
By: Linda Van Grinsven | July 31, 1994
Self-esteem is often very simply defined as “feeling good about yourself.” In reality, self-esteem is much more complicated than that. To understand self-esteem we must first start with another term, self-concept.
