A Tribute to Marion Haefele Longman
By: Karen Longman | June 5, 2001
“Zest for living” are three words that describe how Marion Haefele Longman has influenced my life.
CBE’s Mission and Envisioned Future
By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | June 5, 2001
When God raises up a ministry to help build his church throughout the world, he equips and gifts believers and gives them a vision for that ministry. We notice biblical examples in Nehemiah, Jesus’ disciples, Paul and the believers in Acts 2. God is still gifting believers and giving them a vision for ministry today. We [...]
Women: Potluck Planners or Partners?
By: Keith Nystrom | March 6, 2001
I’m not sure if I ever totally believed that the Bible mandated inequality between the sexes, but that’s just the way it was. I grew up in a church that didn’t necessarily preach such inequalities, but practiced them none the less. By their example I understood that there was a “man’s [...]
Discovering God’s Design
By: Julia Bloom | March 6, 2001
I grew up in fundamentalist churches where women were taught to know their “place” and stay there. My parents accepted these ideas in theory, but not so much in practice, and at the same time they questioned many of the other things these churches taught. During my freshman year of college, my parents ended their [...]
And the Truth Will Set You Free!
By: Faith Totushek | March 6, 2001
Each time I read Ephesians, I shuddered inwardly upon reading Chapter 5: “Wives submit to your husbands.” This passage was a neon light blinding me to the rest of the book. I felt the same shame when I read other passages with directives to women regarding silence, submission or authority. The worst was 1 Timothy 2, which implied [...]
The Gospel for All People
By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | March 5, 2001
At CBE we are a diverse group of Christians, with our members representing over 100 different denominations. How on earth do we agree on anything? I am reminded of the early church, which was also certainly a diverse group. They lived with radically different cultures, eating habits, languages, and ways of worshipping. With such a long [...]
Come and Get Me!
By: Carol J. Zechlin | December 5, 2000
“Let them come after me,” said Tiger Woods about his competitors when interviewed as to his strategy on holding his 12-point lead at the U.S. Open last summer. “I don’t plan on going to them.” That’s how I feel as a woman: confident in the scriptural knowledge of who I am.
Marching to the Beat of Different Drums
By: Kathy Bruner | December 5, 2000
When I reflect on my childhood and young adulthood, it’s not difficult to see why I struggled to understand God’s intent for gender roles. I was surrounded by mixed gender messages from my denomination, my family and my Christian college.
From Male Superiority To Mutual Submission
By: John R. Kohlenberger III | September 5, 2000
In his treatment of women as equals, Paul followed Jesus’ lead. Jesus defined servant-leadership in Matthew 20:28 (NRSV), “the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life a ransom for many.”
