    based on 6 ratings
     | 10,908 views

    The story of Deborah is often used to encourage women to seek leadership and teaching roles in the church.

    The Bible proclaims that every male and female human being has intrinsic and equal worth and is a reflection of God because they are made in His image. Those who say that the Bible portrays women as subservient to men have never read the Bible or don't know anything about it; otherwise, they ...read more

    Under Authority

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Nov 29, 2022
     | 1,245 views

    What we perhaps don’t realize is that Christians are also under authority, civilians enlisted in the same cause, fighting evil and promoting the good.

    I was watching an old Humphrey Bogart movie the other night, called Action in the North Atlantic. It was about the merchant marine in WWII, not about the navy.

    When a serious believer goes beyond the call of duty and expends himself or herself to the glory of God, others are motivated to expend themselves for God.

    Motivation by Example (Philippians 1:12-18) 1. One of the big challenges within American Evangelicalism is staying motivated.
