I have a pair of shoes that I love. Found them at a consignment shop in Belmon, NC – a pair of JCrew Zebra peep toe 3 inch heels. They are fabulous. Heels are amazing and so are flats – gorgeous shoes that make any outfit. What about the lipstick I just found in a [...]

Continuing on our discussion of the Danvers Statement from yesterday, we finish off with Affirmations 6-10. I hope these have been an encouragement to you and not another list of rules to follow. Sometimes it is difficult to know how to apply Scripture to our lives when sin has marred the world we live in. [...]

This past Sunday a new “Sunday School” class started at my church on biblical manhood and womanhood. One of the elders who is teaching the class introduced everyone to the Danvers Statement.

A retired soccer coach talks to women. It was a pep talk, a halftime hoorah speech. Mark Chanski spoke last night at Mount Hermon Missionary Baptist Church in Rocky Mount, NC. I went to hear him after reading some of both of his books, Manly Dominion and Womanly Dominion during my years at SBTS. I [...]

Never judge a book by its by-line. That’s what I’ve learned. Dr. Alex Chediak, author and professor at California Baptist University, has written a theological and practical book guiding students to live wisely and biblically during their college years.

One of the lines that I have heard recently is Ellen saying “gender doesn’t matter.” She of course is married to Portia DiRossi and have been touted as the couple for the new millinium. Not a millinium I want to be a part of. She may not think that gender matters, but I would like [...]

My friend, John Starke, who serves at The Gospel Coalition, wrote this article as a response to a book review of How I Changed My Mine about Women in Leadership.

As most readers know, I love country music. But, I also try to think through country songs. Tracy Byrd’s new one (and friends): The Truth About Men made me think yesterday. Seeing the video (which I won’t post due to some material that I will not post on my blog) made me sad for the [...]

Jonathan Leeman has a fabulous article in the new 9Marks journal on relationships between men and women (complementarianism/egalitarianism). I was just able to teach on biblical womanhood at a youth camp with my church. Honestly, one session went extremely well, one session could have gone better. I wish I had some of this before I [...]
