Given the litany of examples from Scripture where women pray, praise, prophesy over and instruct nations, much less congregations, why this prohibition? Two New Testament passages are frequently referenced in order to forbid women to minister as these women in Scripture do. Or rather, these verses are used out of context to limit the role of women in ministry.

Scripture has a very different portrayal of women than any other ancient book. We do see the mistreatment of women in the Bible, but it is never commended or condoned. Let’s compare Scripture with ancient culture to see how liberating God’s Word is for women.

Hate crimes are quick to dominate the headlines. Our culture is afflicted with “isms” rooted in hate.
The nation is divided by parties and factions. Marriages are torn apart by resentment and bitterness. Families are wrecked by rage.
It’s easy to be discouraged.
And yet—one force conquers them all.
Love.
In every battle where love is embroiled with hate, love wins. Love “bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails.” (1 Corinthians 13:8 NAS)
Be encouraged. Here are 9 times love overpowers hate in Scripture.

We were pulling into the parking lot of my church when the DJ mentioned a controversy surrounding a burgeoning Christian recording artist. Apparently, she had appeared on a popular daytime talk show and there was an uproar about it. I was waiting to hear what had happened on the show that caused such a stink. What did she do?
Then I realized, with sinking dread, she didn’t do anything. Nothing happened. There was no incident, per say. Her crime was just showing up. Because, you see, the talk show host is gay.
My heart sank.
Are we reading the same Bible? I know what Scripture says about that issue and let me be clear, I’m not here to debate or deny that.
But who did Jesus hang out with?
To love the lost like Jesus, we need to move in closer.
