Did Paul Practice What He Preached?
By: Alvera Mickelsen | July 31, 1998
One of the most serious problems for Christians (and we are all guilty of this) is selective literalism. We choose which passages we want to apply literally, and we ignore all the ones we don’t like. Wouldn’t it be better if we just applied all passages literally? But that is impossible.
The Stranger at the Well: Inspired by John 4:3-42
By: Kirsten A. Foot | April 30, 1998
From Jacob’s well outside of Sychar there is a beautiful view of Mt. Gerizim—the mountain on which God proclaimed a blessing in Deuteronomy 11, and on which my people, the Samaritans, worshipped Jehovah in ages past, and long to do so again. Both Jacob and his father Isaac met their wives at wells, so [...]
Anna, Prophet of God
By: Arthur H. Lewis | July 31, 1997
An Israelite woman doing the work of a man is found infrequently in the Scriptures, but Anna is one of the exceptions. Luke 2:36-38 pictures Anna in the Temple court busy with the office, and in the traditional role, of a Hebrew prophet. Her example should be an encouragement to every gifted woman who has [...]
The Strong Character of Samson’s Mother
By: Arthur H. Lewis | October 31, 1996
Few women of history show the strength of character and “spunk” of this Hebrew wife and mother from the twelfth century B.C. She was called like Sarah, Hannah and the Virgin Mary, to give birth to one of the great men of ancient times. But she models fir modern women more than just 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.
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 [...]
The Song Of Deborah: Women Leaders In Judges 4 & 5
By: Arthur H. Lewis | October 31, 1994
The best example of a woman in leadership over Israel is Deborah, one of the judges, all of whom were responsible for keeping the Promised Land free of foreign domination. Judges 4 is the prose account of Israel’s victory over the Canaanites from Hazor. Judges 5 is the “Song of Deborah” which tells the same [...]
Mary's Story: Gift and Choice
By: Evelyn Bence | October 31, 1994
Several years ago I got an idea for a biblical novel; placing myself in the world of Mary the mother of Jesus’, I would write in her voice — a diary spanning thirty years and titled Mary’s Journal.
