“Let Not Your Hearts Be Anxious…”
By: Susan McCoubrie | October 31, 1991
Have you ever had the experience of knowing something mentally but having an entirely different response emotionally? I have been grappling with this for the past few years. Yes, intellectually I know God's promises of inner peace, and yet I experience anxiety. I have seen God work for good in my life and in the [...]
On the Meaning in Context of those Troublesome Verses on Women in 1 Peter (And a Gentle Warning about Cross-Referencing Too Quickly)
By: Bruce C.E. Fleming | July 30, 1991
The following thoughts are presented to draw attention to the main thrust of 1 Peter 3:1-7. It is hoped that after reading the following article, whenever these verses are studied, the main ideas of the passage won’t be smothered by other ideas that are illegitimately imported from somewhere else.
John Chrysostom’s First Homily on the Greeting to Priscilla and Aquila
By: Catherine Clark Kroeger | July 30, 1991
John Chrysostom (died A.D. 407) preached consistently through the Scriptures and many of his sermons are still extant. Here, for the first time in English, is his first sermon on Priscilla and Aquila. Translated from the Greek, by Catherine Clark Kroeger, Ph.D., CBE president, author, and classical scholar.
Old Testament Prophets as Types for New Testament Leaders
By: Francis H. Geis | April 30, 1991
If God could call and equip women for this office and ministry without violating their roles as wives and mothers in ancient Israel, why can He not do so in the Church today? Indeed, in light of what Joel 2:28-32 has to say about the Messianic Age, the “New Age of Prophecy”, these OT women [...]
Bread and Roses at Bethany: A Chapel Meditation on Matthew 26:6-16
By: Mary Stewart Van Leeuwen | April 30, 1991
Because International Women’s Day has its roots in the largely-secular history of organized labor and the international socialist movement, we might well conclude that its celebration in the middle of lent is the result of accident rather than design. And yet I discovered during my research for this talk that the motto of the [...]
Ordination in the New Testament (With Pertinent Biblical Materials)
By: Berkeley Mickelsen | July 30, 1990
Some lay persons have been surprised when they look in their concordances under "ordain" or "ordination" to find nothing helpful in their search for a biblical basis for the ordination of ministers. A biblical basis for the ordination of ministers involves the interpreter with a lot of inferences and assumptions.
From Poet to Judge: What Does Ephesians 5 Teach about Male-Female Roles?
By: Aída Besançon Spencer | July 30, 1990
In contrast, many fine studies have been done to disprove the notion that Ephesians 5:22-23 affirms male leadership in the home. I would like to reinforce those studies by an in depth look at the literary context of the passage, and also by highlighting the figurative language Paul uses.
Who is a Virtuous Woman?
By: Karen Mason | January 30, 1990
The Bible sets forth an ideal and calls the ideal woman an eshet-chayil, which is the Hebrew for a “virtuous woman” (KJV) or a “wife of noble character” (NIV). This Hebrew expression occurs only three times in the Old Testament, but a study of these three passages is likely to reveal what the Bible supports [...]
Beginning at the Beginning
By: Frances Hiebert | July 31, 1989
To really understand what the Bible all about, you need to begin with the Beginning. That gives you a perspective on cosmic and human history that puts the rest of Scripture in focus. We then see the Bible "through the Lens of Eden," as Mildred Enns Toews from Winnipeg, Manitoba says.
Women in Ministry: The View from Eden
By: Robert L. Hubbard | January 31, 1989
In Eden we glimpse the larger purposes of God for humankind. These glimpses offer the framework within which the debate about the specific roles for men and women in the Christian ministry must take place.
