So, Why Can’t Women Preach?: What Are Preaching & Teaching?

Last updated on: September 1, 2024 at 2:47 pm By Miranda Turner

In the Potter's hands, the clay is completely under his control. So, if he wants to fashion a female preacher from it, he can. Confusion arises when we intertwine our cultural values, traditions, and worldly ways with the teachings of Scripture instead of seeking to understand the Bible within its context. So, let's start by covering the basics to do our due diligence. What exactly constitutes preaching? How should teaching be defined? Are preaching and teaching synonymous, or do they hold distinct meanings? Read more

The Modern-Day Pastor: Is It Biblical?

Last updated on: July 5, 2024 at 10:24 pm By Miranda Turner

The recent news of esteemed Dallas pastors Tony Evans and Robert Morris stepping down due to “past sin,” has undoubtedly caused some to question their perceived perfection. It never occurred to me that they or anyone else would be absolutely perfect, but the fact that these "sins" are only now being acknowledged after a number of years, leads me to question the men’s integrity. Additionally, seeing comments from believers who try to justify it or make it sound like it’s okay or even honorable, is disturbing. Since issues such as these adversely affect the church community and the Lord's reputation to outsiders, we should examine church congregational structures for changes that could be made going forward. In this post, we’re specifically discussing if the modern-day pastor as it exists today, in America, is even biblical and if not, what we should do about it. Read more

The Purpose of Juneteenth

Last updated on: June 19, 2024 at 5:59 pm By Miranda Turner

Growing up in Texas, I’ve always been familiar with Juneteenth. Each year, people in our small town would gather at the park excited to enjoy free food, local radio stations, talent shows, and more. My mother would bring us and we would spend the whole day there, sometimes leaving and returning later. I had a great time and eagerly looked forward to the following year until that particular celebration eventually ceased. Read more

“The Rich Young Ruler”: What Was It All About?

Last updated on: May 29, 2024 at 12:59 am By Miranda Turner

The Bible doesn’t exclusively attribute “being good” to God, nor does it imply that mankind cannot embody goodness. In truth, the Bible portrays virtuous, faithful, and upright individuals, which contradicts the interpretation that Jesus was denying he was good to the rich young ruler. Let’s nonetheless try to understand what he was getting at. Read more
