Churches Need Women Who Follow The Bible (A Response To Relevant Magazine)13 min read

     Dear fellow brothers and sisters in Christ: 

     A few days ago, an article titled "Yes, Churches Need Women Who Teach, Lead and Preach" was published by Relevant Magazine. The writer of the article attempted to make the case that we need women to teach, lead, and preach in the local church, presumably from the pulpit, and in front of a mixed congregation. The arguments presented, however, are not only weak and irrelevant, but also easily defeated with common sense and Scripture. This TruthInformed article is a response to, and analysis of, Relevant Magazine's post, and other arguments related to the topic of women in a church's leadership. 

     Some may ask me why I would take the time to tackle such a controversial topic. The answer is easy: God says to defend His Word of Truth, be vigilant of false teachers because they exist (2 Peter 2:1-3. Matthew 7:15. 2 Timothy 4:3-4), and refute them and their doctrines (Titus 1:10-16. 2 Thessalonians 3:14-15. 1 Timothy 1:3. 2 Timothy 3:16-17. 2 Timothy 4:2). Therefore, I feel it my duty to write this article out of love for Christ and His sheep, for I have been given the gift of teaching, spiritual discernment, and knowledge. I do not say this to boast, but only to inform you of my reasons for writing this article. Please take your time to digest everything I have to say on this subject; and may God bless you and guide you with His Holy Spirit of Truth.

One thought on “Churches Need Women Who Follow The Bible (A Response To Relevant Magazine)

  1. Great analysis !

    Christ is the head of the Church , will soon come back to be one with the holy body of Christ .
    A man is the head of his family , the perfect leader
    Can we decide to remove HEADS from BODIES and replace them by feet , arms or legs . NO .
    So , let ChristJesus be the HEAD of the church and Men the HEAD of families and churches .

    No one has the power to replace a HEAD ! This is the order ordered by God . No “body” can function without its head . We hear about heart , kidney or lungs transplant , never of a head replacement ! So let’s be obedient to God’s designing things : wherever he places a “ HEAD “ , do not change it as you wish …otherwise you will kill the remaining members of that body ( church , families) .
    I am humbly submitting to God’s plan for me as a woman . God wants me to be his legs, his hands, his feet ( faithful servant) but not the head ever ( head of a church , head of my family ) .

    Sad that the world looks more and more like a monster … struggling without a holy head (without God ) !

    The HEAD ( Christ) is so essential for a body to well function : ( vision (light/ life) , mouth ( the word) , ears ( God listens to your prayers) , nose ( the aroma of god’s children) , the brain ( God knows) , neck ( God directs a straight path) …
    The body of Christ ( believers )

    I could go on and on ….
    Christ is the head of the body of Christ
    Men are HEADS of families/ churches

    SO BE IT !

    PS : ( define head) ! It means head , not toes 🙂
