The Phoebe Hoax
--
Never has more been made of so little than what egalitarians make of Paul’s mention of Phoebe in Romans 16:1-2.
Egalitarians have fabricated an entire mythology around Phoebe that is not justified by what Paul actually says about her.

If serious joy and human flourishing are ordinarily found in embracing God's created designs, then it follows that God's complementary design for men and women should likewise be understood not mainly as a restriction but as a path to human happiness.
“The grand rule of the preacher should be to search out the mind of God as revealed on the sacred pages, and then simply to publish it to his fellow men.” - Thomas Murphy (1823-1900)

We don't really need more surveys on SBCers views of Women Pastors - but we do need transparent and accessible ones not hidden behind paywalls. Here's why I started this grassroots effort and a new survey: https://t.co/L1gHAEUHSN
Therapeutic:
Jesus delivers us from our negative emotions (fears, doubts, shame).
Forensic:
Jesus delivers us from the penalty of our sin.
The Gospel does yield therapeutic benefits, but emphasis matters. In women’s circles, it’s too often the first without the second.
What an accomplishment! I loved following the entire journey. The astronauts were incredibly gifted and seemed to be wonderful human-beings. Excited for the future of space exploration, to watch the moon base built and then on to Mars!
And splashdown!
America is back in the business of sending astronauts to the Moon and bringing them home safely.
Reid, Victor, Christina, and Jeremy did an outstanding job. These talented astronauts inspired the world and represented their space agencies and nations as humanity’s ambassadors to the stars.
This was a test mission, the first crewed flight of SLS and Orion, pushing farther into the unforgiving environment of space than ever before, and it carried real risk. They accepted that risk for all we stood to learn and for the exciting missions that follow, as we return to the lunar surface, build a Moon base, and prepare for what comes next.
And they were not alone. The entire NASA workforce, our commercial and international partners, and the hopes and dreams of people all over the world were with them. The astronauts know it, and you should too. This mission would not have been possible without you.
Congratulations. Artemis II, mission accomplished.
