Divorce as a Justice Issue
By: Craig Keener | October 31, 1999
In Jesus’ day some Pharisees allowed husbands to divorce their wives for almost any reason, but the law did not permit wives to divorce their husbands. The wife had no legal recourse to prevent the divorce. In a society where only men received fair pay for their work, divorce put women at a severe economic [...]
Dear Woman—Love, Man
By: Roger Mitchell | October 31, 1999
While we Christians tend to masculinize the Creator— after all, the Scriptures are written by men and refer extensively to God in masculine language—still, here and there are traditionally feminine characteristics ascribed to God (cf. Mt 23:37; Ps 91:4).
Why I Didn’t Sign The Southern Baptist Family Statement
By: Alan Brehm | October 31, 1999
What I am against is the disgusting and deceptive way that some use the Bible to oppress and manipulate faithful, honest church folks. The SBC’s recent “statement on the family,” which faculty members at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary were asked to sign, presents a case in point.
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 [...]
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.
