Your Ecclesiology Will Determine Your View of Women Functioning in the Church

This week I picked up Neither Complementarian nor Egalitarian again in an attempt to finish it. I completed the Part 1 (Gender in Evangelical History) which gave an overview of the different ways cultural movements have impacted the body of Christ in regards to these questions. It was interesting and I learned some new things.  …

I write about how I apply my faith to various situations and decisions. But I haven’t gotten into theology in any significant way.  There’s been a …

Theologically Trapped By Denominational Confessions and Creeds

David and I have spent considerable time thinking through what we actually believe about end times theology over the past several months. Over the years, I had basically landed in the pan-millennial camp (where it will all pan out in the end). I didn’t find it pressing enough to spend time on it in the midst …

On Baptizing Caroline, the Roles of Women in the Church, and Everything Else Related To It

First off, I apologize if this is a little rambly and disjointed. I know a topic like this should be polished and such, but right now posting it as is is the best I can do. 🙂 I mentioned yesterday that we are probably going to baptize Caroline. I knew this would probably come as …

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.

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)
