    Fresh Perspectives on Women in the Bible: Esther By Natalie Edwards

    January 18, 2019 / Comments Off on Fresh Perspectives on Women in the Bible: Esther By Natalie Edwards

    The sound of water flowing fills the palace. Trickling fountains. Incense burning. The smell of lavender lingers in the air. Shades of fine silk in purple, red and blue are laid out for the choosing. It’s a spa of the most luxurious sort and hundreds of women are preparing for their encounter with the king. Yet only one will be chosen queen of Persia and marry King Ahasuerus. Among the crowd of women to come before the king is Esther, our Bible character in this week’s Fresh Perspective on Women in The Bible. Does God value bold courage as a desired feminine quality too? Let's find out.     Raised…

    Christ Has Died. Christ Is Risen. Christ Will Come Again.

    April 3, 2015 / 1 Comment

    My Story, or His Story?

    November 13, 2013 / Comments Off on My Story, or His Story?

    Sharing one’s “life story” is a popular activity in church ministries these days. I am supposed to share mine tomorrow at a young moms’ group in a local church. I was told to share my “life story,” not my “faith story.” Something about that bothered me. What is my “life story” without my faith in Christ interwoven in it? Whether I was obedient or disobedient to whatever revelation was given to me at the time. Sounds like a lot of focus on me—what happened to me, what I did, and with whom—which, as Paul says in Philippians 3:8, is “rubbish” compared to knowing Christ. So, I am at a quandary…
