Should Women and Children/Youth Read the Scriptures in Church?

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 …

Trusting God With Romance and Marriage

"Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen." Ephesians 3:20-21

The Pain, Loss, and Humiliation Gifted Women Experience in the Church

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 …

How I Changed My Mind About Women in Leadership

Last autumn I was in the midst of a series entitled Exploring a Woman’s Freedom in Christ when the holidays hit. I pretty much dropped the series at that point mostly because of time issues. Between the holidays, selling a house, finding a house, and moving, I wasn’t doing much studying! I’m picking up this …

Spiritual Abuse | Fifteen Years Later

A few weeks ago Karen linked to information about the implosion within Sovereign Grace Ministries (SGM). On the forefront of the situation is C.J. Mahaney, the well-known leader of the group of churches. As I commented on Karen’s blog at the time, I was both surprised and not surprised. My lack of surprise was not …

Doing Stupid Things, College and Nouveau Partriachy

Karen linked to this great post recently. It is over three years old, but full of outstanding truth. From On daughters, college and nouveau patriarchy regarding not allowing children (and especially daughters) to attend college (bold mine): And this, I think, is the real objection to college: the fact that by attending it, many children …

Reader Looking for Insights on the Book “His Needs, Her Needs”

She would very much like to hear from anyone who has read the book His Needs, Her Needs. (I haven’t.) Here is her note with identifying information removed: Hi Sallie, I wondered if you have …

Sallie Schaaf Borrink

I’m a Christian, wife, homeschool mom, battle-seasoned blogger, and happy warrior for Christ. I discuss how Christians who don’t fit dominant institutional church and cultural narratives are already living truthfully and faithfully in the body of Christ.

“Now the Bereans were more noble-minded than the Thessalonians, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if these teachings were true.” Acts 17:11

A Christian Nation

"The real object of the first amendment was not to countenance, much less to advance, Mahometanism, or Judaism, or infidelity, by prostrating Christianity; but to exclude all rivalry among christian sects, and to prevent any national ecclesiastical establishment, which should give to a hierarchy the exclusive patronage of the national government."

Joseph Story (Associate Justice of the Supreme Court), Commentaries on the Constitution of the United States (1833), § 1871.

countenance: To favor; to encourage by opinion or words; To encourage; to appear in defense (Websters Dictionary 1828)
