There is a lot of evidence of women serving in leadership roles in the New Testament. Which makes sense, seeing as Peter revealed it was always God's plan. This week we explore 3 key leading ladies: Junia, Phoebe, and Priscilla. https://t.co/pgcNH0XDd7

My good friend and I have decided to write a series of articles exploring what the Bible teaches about women in ministry. This week, we consider the example of the life of Jesus. Take a moment to read and share. https://t.co/SYXjvc1u2h

I am grateful for a denomination that affirms, values, and celebrates women in ministry. I believe in women pastors, so much so that I raised one.

As American Baptists, we believe the Bible teaches that God calls women to preach and teach the Word of God. I’m grateful for the examples of the many women preachers, teachers, and leaders in the New Testament…

I recently returned from an epic adventure traveling the north Pacific ocean from Hawaii up into Alaska. Much of that time was spent looking for wildlife. It reminded me of a principle from Scripture... You often find what you actively look for. https://t.co/Hm25S4vCVf

SANTA! I really do know him now! I visited him at his house in North Pole, Alaska!

It’s looking really REVELATION out there these days, but neither hand-wringing nor fist-clenching are disciplines encouraged in Scripture. We’re called to more useful action. Take a moment to read and share this week’s blog post.

The book of Leviticus has a sacrifices for seemingly everything. In one case, two goats met unfortunate ends for sin. In Jesus, one sacrifice was sufficient. Take moment to read and share this week's blog post about "Azazel: The Goat Who Lived."

The attempt to directly apply Old Testament stories to current situations is unfortunately all too common at the moment. These efforts overlook a very important truth: JESUS CHANGES EVERYTHING. Take a moment to read and share this week's blog post.

All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correction and training in righteousness... The script of Quentin Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction is not Scripture.

Regardless of whether it’s all talk, when the leader of our country expresses plainly genocidal intent, everyone has to do something.

For citizens of all political stripes, it means rejecting this madness. For Congress, it means taking action to rein him in. Now.

What is SAID and DONE BOTH MATTER.“So whatever you say or whatever you do, remember that you will be judged by the law that sets you free. There will be no mercy for those who have not shown mercy to others. But if you have been merciful, God will be merciful when he judges you.”

Not sure how we can accept Jesus as king if we’d vote against him as President.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Absurd and inhuman violence is spreading ferociously through the sacred places of the Christian East, profaned by the blasphemy of war and the brutality of business, with no regard for people’s lives, which are considered at most collateral damage of self-interest. But no gain can be worth the life of the weakest, children, or families. No cause can justify the shedding of innocent blood.

[Jeremy Myers @Doc_JMyers]

Questions concerning my political leanings were uncommon when I first entered ministry 25 years ago. In recent years, it has seemingly become a matter of first importance. I have no desire to affiliate with a political party; I want to align with Jesus.

Still today, we choose Barabbas and leave Christ to the cross. For it is much easier to relate to a self-serving rebel than a sacrificial servant.

[Jeremy Myers @Doc_JMyers]

Threatening to eliminate an entire civilization is utterly incompatible with the teaching of Jesus & inexcusable. They may or may not be “just words,” but words have meaning and sometimes shouldn’t be said, particularly when the person threatening has the power to follow through.

[Jeremy Myers @Doc_JMyers]

Understanding and applying the truths of Scripture is a core Christian discipline. No reasonable person considers the story of David and Bathsheba and believes we should “go and do likewise.” Some scriptures are descriptive and others are prescriptive.

I've been thinking about Simon of Cyrene this week. He helped carry the cross of Christ. But, whose cross was it really and what should we learn from his actions? Take a moment to read and share this week's blog post.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

All men and women, especially Christians, are called to fix their gaze on those who suffer, on the pain of the lonely, and on those who are emarginated for various reasons, for without them we cannot build a just society. Only together can we build communities of solidarity capable of caring for everyone, in which wellbeing and peace can flourish for the benefit of all. Caring for the humanity of others helps us to live our own lives to the full.
