The last two posts of my series on the role of women are now posted. The first two dealt with 1 Cor 14:33b-35.
The second two deal with the Holy Spirit and what authority comes from the giftedness that comes from the Spirit.
Here they are —
Giftedness, Part 3: The Present Work of the Spirit in Christians
Giftedness, Part 4: 1 Corinthians 12 on Giftedness and Authority
Jay,
I have read through all of these posts as well as your ebook, Buried Talents. What advice can you give to women (and men) who are still waiting in the wings for our local church eldership to take this study seriously?
Andrea,
I would suggest that you encourage the elders and ministers to undertake a study of the subject using Buried Talents and any number of other resources (mentioned in BT). I would suggest that the elders and staff also read materials that argue for a complementarian position — so that they’ve heard both sides of the argument.
