Biblical Role of Women
When I told one of the elders at my church what I was writing it on… he told me a funny story about his son. One day when his son was in class the teacher said, “today we are going to talk about the roles of women and men” and the little boy and one of his friends blurted out “women dont have roles, they make rolls!”
In today’s quick paced culture it is easy to conform to the changing times without notice. We are a society built on recognition and success, and when these dynamics permeate into our belief system, it can be challenging to identify and evaluate the impact they have on how we live our lives. One of the largest ways these values have influenced us is in our view of the roles of men and women.

What is Discipleship?
When given the assignment to interview pastors on the topic of discipleship, it took me a while to decide who I wanted to ask and what people would have good perspectives to glean from.

Authority of Scripture
Jesus Clearly Demonstrated His Belief in the Authority of Scriptures. Defend this Statement with Evidence.
Dr. David Livingston, Answers in Genesis:
“Jesus never belittled Scripture (as some modern critics do), or set it aside (as the Jewish leaders of His day had done with their Oral Traditions), or criticized it (although He criticized those who misused it), or contradicted it (although He rejected many interpretations of it), or opposed it (although He sometimes was free or interpretive with it), nor spoke in any way as ‘higher’ critics do of the Old Testament.”

Meaning and Significance of Inerrancy
Explain the meaning and significance of inerrancy
Yachts can be luxurious, but once they leave the dock, the passengers are stuck until the boat arrives at port. Though passengers may move about the boat with apparent freedom, their final destination is ultimately the will of the captain.
The topic I have drawn today is “Explain the Meaning and Significance of Inerrency” in the context of Scripture.

Why Does Man Need Salvation?
Why Does Man Need Salvation?
C.S. Lewis, Christian Reflections, Christianity and Culture: “The glory of God, and, as our only means to glorifying Him, the salvation of human souls, is the real business of life.”

The Incarnation
Explain the meaning and significance of the incarnation.
John Milton’s Paradise Lost, God speaking to Jesus: “Thee from my bosom, and right hand, to save, By losing thee a while, the whole Race lost. Thou therefore whom thou only canst redeem, Their Nature also to thy Nature join; and be thyself Man among men on Earth, made flesh, when time shall be, of Virgin seed, by wondrous birth.”

How is the Bible different than other religious books?
Question: The Bible teaches that Christ is the Savior, and has died for us to cleanse us of our sins, but, from a logical standpoint of someone who is thinking about the Christian faith, what reason have we to believe the Bible? Why is the Bible the word of God and not the Q’ran? Or the Torah? I understand that the Bible says it is the word of God in it’s own pages. If I wrote a book about a god that I believe in (that I completely made up), and wrote that that book was the word of the true God, how is it any less valid? How can a logically minded individual say that the Bible is the actual word of God and not the book I wrote?
Again, this is not meant to be spiteful. My mother is Catholic, and I was raised in that environment, and these are just things I’ve been thinking about for many years. I have not had a chance to discus them with anyone, as my mother dodges the questions, and any other religious leader I’ve spoken to only preaches to me about the reasons I’m going to suffer for all eternity, rather than attempting to help me.

What is the biblical teaching of ordaining women as officers of the church?
This has been an area of major compromise by the church in our day and I believe the church has forsaken the clear biblical teaching for a culture that glorifies gender neutrality. There are only two ordained offices recognized in the New Testament. They are the office of Pastor/Teacher and the office of Deacon. In many denominations the office of Bishop and Elder are also added but I believe the office of Bishop, Elder, Overseer, Pastor/Teacher is actually the same office.

What is the church?
The church is the Body of Christ. In the Old Testament, God had a temple for His people. In the New Testament, the temple is His people. The church is not a building made of plaster, bricks and lumber. The church is the community of all true believers for all time. This definition understands the church to be made up of all those who have received forgiveness through Jesus Christ as an act of faith. So often, lines are drawn between denominations, worship styles, or family traditions but this is not what God sees as He looks down on His church.

What Role Does the Holy Spirit play in the believer’s life?
The role that the Holy Spirit plays in the life of the believer is immeasurable. He is the One that convicts first of sin, righteousness, and judgment. He is the One who wakens a dead heart to hear the message of truth, the Gospel of our salvation, and brings about the faith to believe. He is the One who seals us for the day of redemption. He is the One that fills us and empowers us to live a life that is pleasing to God. He encourages, exhorts, teaches, comforts, and guides the believer into all truth.
