Comment on A little known quarryman in Wales by Vickie Schlender

Thank you for your wonderful article. I happened onto the movie, “Beyond the Next Mountain” the other night, which is his story. It was an amazing story how the young convert came to see Robert in his later years, making him aware of how much fruit had come because of his work when he was a young missionary. How good of God to do that for him! Thank you for writing this informative article. I had never heard of him before!

Thank you so much for writing this article. It is very comforting. It’s difficult to find others in a similar situation. Church can be especially hard as it is filled with families.

I live and worship in Yeadon, in a church born out of the revival. It is great to read the information especially how people were crying in the streets over their sinful state and how they ran to church and prayed to God! This is what we are praying for once again that God will have mercy and heal our land, save the people and lift this nation out of the dust.
Thank you for posting this.

Comment on Feminine Threads by graham wood

I was interested in the above review of Diana Severance’s book. Although I have not read this as yet, I note that the author is commended for her approach to “the disputed biblical texts about women” which is done in a clear and theological way.

This is encouraging for in the current stormy debate about so called “gender roles” in the church there is huge mis-understanding about these disputed texts. 1 Timothy 2:11-12 and 1 Corinthians 14: 34 – 36 are central to this debate and these have been used to silence women in the church for far too long.

In this connection I cannot recommend too strongly a new work on these biblical texts from the pen of Conservative writer Dr. Jon Zens in his “What’s With Paul & Women? – Unlocking the cultural background to 1 Timothy 2′.
It is commended by no less than 17 evangelical leaders in the USA who publish their review of the impact of this book upon them. Dr. Zens presents a powerful case by way of exposure of the deep flaws in the theology of those who take the ‘traditional’ view of ‘silent women’ which is based on both mis-translations and misunderstanding related to these texts. But more positively he explains the hugely important cultural background of the contexts concerned. It is certainly the best, clearest, and shortest commentary on the gender issues concerned. All for only £8 and delivered 2/3 days via Amazon !
For those who have not seen this it is in my view a “must read”.

This article deeply humbled me and brought me to tears. How has Western Christianity come so far from what was described in this article?
