Double Jeopardy

Can women be called to pastor or lead a church? No. The Bible clearly states in 1 Corinthians 14:34 KJV, Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law.

If you are a woman who feels called, the above New Testament law is clear. I suppose this leaves opportunity to teach outside of the church, perhaps at home, yet there is also 1 Timothy 2:12 KJV to consider, which says, But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.

To follow the will of God can be difficult both for men and women, but if you are a woman and violate either of these two commandments you are off to a bad start. If you continue against God’s will, you will also be judged for any errant doctrine you teach, hence double jeopardy.

Ladies, God is giving you a pass that men don’t have. Take it. Don’t follow after your own desires or people who cannot read. You can testify to others by your life and move them by your conversation.

Definitive

Satan’s plans are nefarious and can at times be very subtle. One of his projects is changing the meaning of various words. If you hear his definitions often enough you might just believe them.

  • Religion is bad
  • Legalism is evil
  • Love is unconditional
  • Male is a sexist distinction
  • Female is a personal distinction
  • Sexuality is a choice
  • Life is after birth and before senility
  • White Lie
  • Half Truth

Changing the meaning of words leads to confusion and confusion leads to sin.

The Bible tells us in Isaiah 5:20 KJV Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

But what if you’ve been misled and don’t know the difference?

Superbowl LIV Hypocrisy

An attempted theme for the most recent Superbowl was the empowerment of women.

Yet the halftime show of Superbowl LIV appeared to be a competition between two beautiful women. Which one had the best physical assets and which one could shake those assets the fiercest and the sexiest. My elderly mother said of the halftime show she thought it was dirty.

So if the theme was empowerment of women, I think the producers of the Superbowl fell short. The message should have been you don’t have to be a female lesbian to coach or play football and you don’t have to strip to sing well.
