Bible Study, Faith, Jepthah, Motherhood No Comments by Keri

In the previous blog post I discussed Jepthah and his faith, and whether that should be his legacy in Scripture or not. I want to go ahead and finish discussing this story. After Jepthah makes his vow, the Lord delivers the Ammonites into his hand. After the Ammonites are defeated he heads home and his [...]

Jepthah: A Man of Great Faith?

Bible Study, Faith, Jepthah, Leadership 3 Comments by Keri

In Sunday School we have been studying faith, which has involved study of Hebrews 11. I was reading through the passage and in verse 32 I see the name Jepthah listed as a man of great faith. I’m embarrassed to say that the story of Jepthah did not leap into my mind, so off I [...]

Responding Responsibly.
May 30, 2010
For a long time I’ve wanted to write something to my readers discussing the issue of abuse. It seems as though the time is right. Proceed with caution though…this is a bit of a soap box for me so you have been warned. It’s personal. When I was a teenager, I lived in the Midwest [...]

No Skirts. No Suits. No Service?

I’ve been thinking about clothes a lot this week. I have been reading a discussion online about appropriate church attire. It has opened my eyes to a huge problem within the Church today. We judge the righteousness of others based on their clothing. Yikes! Now, I’m not talking about modesty. I think it’s important but [...]
A Call for Change: A Christian’s response to our government and world
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. This is a historic time in our nation’s history. It has given me cause to reflect on how we got to the election of a liberal president. What was his appeal? [...]
