The move to the new site was the culmination of several weeks of thinking, pondering, reading, praying, and talking with David. You know that unsettled, restless feeling you get when God is about to move you to do something different or change your way of thinking about something? I was living with that feeling for …

When I was writing my A Woman’s Freedom in Christ series, I did one post entitled The Complementarian Argument from Historical Precedence. In that post, I included a long series of quotes from the span of history. Each quote gave an historical perspective on the views of important men on women. It is an eye …

Long time readers will already know that I’m pretty conservative in my theology and traditional when it comes to my worship style preference. We attend a church with a pipe organ and a fairly formal (but not rigid) service. I love hymns and expository preaching. But I have to say that I found something this …

A few nights ago I was sitting in the car, waiting for David and Caroline to come out of Meijer. I turned on the radio and found the broadcast of a church service. I knew right away what kind of a church it was. The soloist was doing a heartfelt job, but was obviously not …

Karen mentioned this article off the TIME Newsfeed: Meet the “Selfless” Women of the “Stay-at-Home Daughters Movement”. There are two interesting links mentioned in the article to additional articles. The first one is to a very well-written article at B*tch Magazine: House Proud – The troubling rise of stay-at-home daughters. Don’t be put off by …

One thing that has puzzled me over the past few years as I’ve wrestled with the topic of complementarianism versus egalitarianism is why Christians are so adamantly opposed to egalitarianism that they won’t even study it carefully and make an informed decision. And by studying it, I mean reading something more than the complementarian manifesto …

One argument made by complementarians is that their interpretation is the most accurate because it is the plain reading of the text. At one time this argument did intimidate me. But it doesn’t any longer. Why? Because the same people who will pull this out as a trump card don’t live by the plain reading …

Do you believe complementarian versus egalitarian is a primary, gospel issue? To be certain of what you truly believe, let’s do a little mental exercise that will put a real life situation in that complementarian versus egalitarian issue. Complementarian versus Egalitarian Imagine you have been reading a blog written by a particular woman for a …
