1 Timothy 2:11-15 and 1 Corinthians 14:33-40 revisitedBy Danny ColemanA few years ago I embarked on in-depth research into the topic of a woman’s role in the church. There were three reasons I undertook this study:1. It occurred to me that the Body of Christ is about 2/3 female. What I mean by this is if you look at most church gatherings you will find that there are more women than men. Yet,

Tzedakah (pronounced se-da-kah) is the Hebrew word for charity or almsgiving. It describes giving aid and assistance (often, but not strictly, in the form of money), to those in need. There is a long Jewish tradition of practicing tzedakah, which dates back to the time of Moses (1500 B.C.). In Leviticus 23:22 we read: "When you reap the harvest of your land, do not reap to the very edges of

Note: Because of the way this Blog sorts entries chronologically, Part I of this teaching can be found by scrolling downward. Who does what? There are lots of leadership titles used in the church today: Pastor, Elder, Deacon, Overseer, Cardinal, Bishop, Archbishop, Pope, Apostle, Prophet, etc., etc. There are as many different church leadership structures as there are denominations. In many

What is biblical leadership? The “Shepherd” metaphor: From biblical times up to the present day, the job of shepherding sheep in the Middle East is performed by children; oftentimes even very young children. The children tend the sheep, protect them, lead them to clean water and pasture, etc. An adult acts as “over-shepherd” and keeps watch, often from a hilltop or tower in the vicinity.

Binding and Loosing When I get up in the morning, before heading out the door for work, I'm always sure to yell to my wife, "I kiss you, honey!" She yells back, "I kiss you too!" Sometimes she proclaims, "I make you breakfast!" I then go sit in the car and boldly say, "I drive to work!" Of course, my wife and I don't actually physically kiss each other. She doesn't actually cook breakfast

Jesus is the Word Here are two little sayings about the bible that I really like: “The New is in the Old concealed, The Old is by the New revealed.” “Our goal, in studying the book of the Lord, is to know the Lord of the book.” We've felt that the Lord has been prompting us to focus our bible

Recently I heard a teaching on the topic of “worship”. In actuality, the subject of the teaching was “worship music”. It reminded me that one of the bad habits I need to break is referring to “worship music” as “worship”. Worship is so much more than music. Anyway, the message went on to discuss leading worship (in a music/church context) and being “called” to lead worship. At a certain

“She has a Jezebel spirit.” “There’s a spirit of prayerlessness in this church.” “You have a spirit of independence.” “I was delivered from a spirit of anger and a spirit of laziness.” “There is a spirit of greed over this region.” These are statements that I’ve heard from friends and acquaintances in recent times. I’ve heard countless others like them in the 20 years that I’ve been a “
