Is servant leadership a sin? Responding to Doug Wilson

Men and women in church leadership revisited
I recently picked up on Evangelical Times’ article and podcsst about women teaching and preaching. As I noted, the podcast doesn’t really offer us a Biblical case for the position and assertions taken. However, some people do, in the You Tube comments section attempt to have a discussion about what the Bible says. One claim made is that it’s all very straight forward and simple, the Bible…
Husbands, love your wives ... wives, let them
This title might be seen as a possible TL:DR of one of the crucial applications of Paul’s letter to the Ephesians (ch 5:21-32). Back in 2010 for my MTh dissertation I had the privilege of studying that particular passage in depth. You can read the results of that study here: Marriage at WorkDownload
