  • Equality at the Cross

    Equality at the Cross

    In the Old Testament, we saw that God created men and women as equals in order to fill the earth and rule over it (Genesis 1:26-28).

    What does it mean to be a man or woman?

    One of the greatest controversies not only in our day, but in every age on this earth, concerns the role of men and women in society and in the church. Even as we read through the New Testament, we see that there was great gender controversy 2,000 years ago and these controversies looked essentially the…
