There are several posts written by women who have responded to John Piper’s “Masculine Christianity”, but two of these posts stood out. I think we should listen as this does affect women in the church. Emily McGowin is probably my favorite response: Part 1 and Part 2. Cheryl Schatz is another of my favorites: Part [...]
For those who believe women have no place in ministry, I say to you, sit back, watch, and learn. Two women who have a heart for those who have been hurt by the church and those who as a result are disenfranchised have begun a ministry e-church. I ask that you pray for this ministry [...]
I have been a listener and reader of Chuck Swindoll for many years.

Continuing where I left off yesterday, I wish to address the other points given by Randy Stinson, in his post entitled Is Complementarianism Merely A Personal Conviction?, on the Gender blog. I do want to mention the fact that Mr. Stinson does state that a person is a Christian if they disagree with the complemantarian [...]
I’m sure my title comes as no surprise to those who have been reading me for awhile. This piece from the Gender blog written by Randy Stinson, has bothered me since I have read it. I realize that Al Mohler, John Piper, Dorothy Patterson, Danny Akin, to name a few, are members of the CBMW, [...]
