Should Women Preach? The Role of Women in Church Leadership

The question surrounding the role of women in positions of preaching and pastoral oversight isn’t new, but it remains one of the most ardently debated in the annals of Christian thought. This issue was in the spotlight during the 2023 Southern Baptist Convention as Rick Warren tried to defend the practice of ordaining women as …

A Battle Cry for Pride Month

Here we are again in June, and we are not surprised that Satan and his minions have PRIDEfully come out to play. PRIDE culture (i.e., the Alphabet Soup Cult) is pro-death to the core. Just like Satan, who comes “only to steal and kill and destroy (John 10:10).”

Some of you Bereans may object that I have taken that verse out of context, and you would be correct. That is the story Jesus tells of the Good Shepherd and the bad shepherds who are thieves and liars. Sound familiar? Yes, Satan is a thief and a liar, and he also tries to sneak in, not by the gate, but by a mischievous route to harm the sheep.

This brings us to the abhorrent LEFT (yes, the LEFT, including the entire Democrat Party). They are not content with destroying themselves in privacy. They must “come out” into the open and force you to celebrate their depravity and wicked behavior. AND they absolutely are AFTER YOUR CHILDREN. Everyone in the DNC may not indulge in this lifestyle, but rest assured they are all too eager to use this evil against you… against traditional family values, against everything good and wholesome, and against Christ and His Church.

Meditations (Genesis 3:1-3)

Now the serpent was more crafty than any beast of the field which Yahweh God had made. And he said to the woman, “Indeed, has God said, ‘You shall not eat from any tree of the garden’?” And the woman said to the serpent, “From the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat; but from the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God said, ‘You shall not eat from it, and you shall not touch it, lest you die.’”

Genesis 3:1-3 (LSB)

The Attack

The attack of the evil one, the one who was “more crafty than any beast of the field”, was against God’s Word. “Indeed, has God said?”

Did God really say that?

Meditations (Romans 1:28-32)

And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them over to an unfit mind, to do those things which are not proper, having been filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, evil; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malice; they are gossips, slanderers, haters of God, violent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, without understanding, untrustworthy, unloving, unmerciful; and although they know the righteous requirement of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, they not only do the same, but also give hearty approval to those who practice them.

Romans 1:28-32 (LSB)

Earlier in the chapter, Paul has just explained that men know that God exists because He (God) has made it plain (evident) to them. But people suppress the truth in unrighteous, and God in turn judges them. “For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men (Romans 1:18).”

The passage above comes at the end of this section and wraps up the judgment or wrath of God against these ungodly people. What does judgment look like?

“God gave them over to an unfit mind…”
