Fearless Jael

Deborah, Leadership, Women No Comments by Keri

The other hero in the story of Deborah is Jael. She was a Kenite, a nation of people who had a good relationship with the Israelites. However, her nationality allowed her to gain the trust of Sisera as well, enough that he was willing to hide in her tent while fleeing the Isrealites. I kind [...]

Deborah: God’s Choice for Leadership

Deborah, Influence, Leadership, Motherhood, Prayer and Fasting, Women 2 Comments by Keri

There are times when the Lord chooses to use women in positions of leadership to accomplish His will. We find Deborah in the days when judges ruled Israel.

January 19, 2009
I’ve been thinking about this inauguration. Even though I disagree with Obama’s ideology, I am thrilled that the ultimate glass ceiling has been broken.
