It’s the 21st Century, Do Wives Still Need to Submit to Their Husbands?

Posted on February 14, 2010 at 2:38 pm by Andy Sochor

A couple of British church leaders have come under fire recently for preaching that wives are to submit to their husbands. They claimed that women who refuse to obey this command are at least partly to blame for the country’s high divorce rate.

It Never Occurred to Paul that People Were Born Gay – Really?

Posted on February 5, 2010 at 12:59 am by Andy Sochor

Those who defend the practice of homosexuality have used many tactics to try and justify it — it’s just an “alternative lifestyle,” it’s of no concern to anyone else, people are born that way.

A recent report has found that a minority of Presbyterians believe that “only followers of Jesus Christ can be saved.” Only 39% of members agree or strongly agree with that statement, along with just 35% of pastors and 45% of elders.

According to a recent study by the Barna Group, the percentage of U.S. Protestant women serving as senior pastors has doubled over the past decade. In the 1990’s, about 5% of Protestant senior pastors were women. In 2009, that number has risen to 10%. A large number of women pastors were associated with “mainline” churches, [...]


“The Preacher’s Pledge” – Bible Based Sermons

Posted on February 11, 2009 at 9:29 pm by Andy Sochor
