Yes, Sermon Audio has been a blessing, I believe to many as it has been to myself. As I was perusing some of the speakers and messages here, I came across a woman preacher here on Sermon Audio. I feel just awful that women preachers are permitted to post their messages on S.A. I believe the Bible is very, very clear about women not to have authority, etc. over men. They must remain silent in the local church. I just feel awful.
I find it most discouraging and unedifying that the same people go on and on night after night bashing one another and one another's viewpoints here in these rooms. I struggle daily with trying to walk the Christian life and would so much enjoy coming into these rooms and perhaps get some encouragement, etc. in how I can walk the Christian life easier. I'm surprised that "sermon audio" allows the same people, night after night, to come in these rooms and monopolize the conversations, etc. It's sad to see Christians "at each other" rather than helping each other.
The article by Fredrick regarding alcohol use among Christians was right on. Awesome! Why has there been no response in these rooms to such an excellent article?? Very confusing!!
Can somebody please tell me why the same few people monopolize this site night after night after night? Isn't there anyone in control of this "room"? This room could be a wonderful blessing if it was used properly. There is such backbiting,etc. going on here. What a sad witness for an "outsider/unbeliever" to come in here and observe what's going on. I'm sorry folks, but I'm sure you will agree with me, especially if we want something edifying.
The Bible is very clear that a woman should not be a pastor. Scripture clearly teaches that a "woman is to remain silent" re: in the church. Man is the head of the woman. Jesus called men as His disciples. Another Scripture " women are not to have authority over men,etc. and on and on the Scriptures go. Woman may teach Sunday school to the children, they should "teach the younger women" about the Lord, etc, how to be Godly mothers and wives, etc. Again, the Bible is very clear on this matter. Women have gifts that many men don't have and therefore they should use those gifts, but, obviously not in the puplit.
I'm sorry you misunderstood me for some reason. I did not say my mother was better than my wife. I love my wife dearly. I do not tell her what to wear. I've shared with her what I believe the Bible tells men and women how to dress. We do these things out of concern and love for one another. You probably are younger than myself. If you saw the whole picture as I've seen it through the years, in all likelihood you'd see it the way I see it. Sometimes in life, there is ignorance on certain issues and it's hard if one doesn't know all the facts!!
Mike, You do have somewhat of a point in what you say. I'm referring to modest [some inches below the knee] types of dresses and skirts. My mom wore dresses almost to her ankles all the time. She looked like a real lady and always modest looking. If I'm with my wife and she is wearing jeans, I feel as though I'm "kinda" with a guy. If people really cared about true Biblical modesty, they would truly know how long their dresses should be. Unfortunately, womens' clothing today leaves alot to be desired [in the church] !!!!!!!!!
I remember when girls/women all wore skirts. I went to public schools all my life [ in the 50's and early 60's ]. No one was allowed in public school wearing slacks. Very few women wore them in general. Women looked alot more modest than many dress today. One more thing, if women can wear pants/slacks now, what would be wrong with men wearing dresses and skirts? I'm talking about church people/women who wear slacks, I'd rather call them "men's apparel". Let's call a spade a spade. The pendulim swings both ways!!! One more thing, what's wrong with a woman dressing modestly? Look now how girls are dressed in high school. You can hardly believe what you see. And church people/women are going right along with pants-slacks [men's apparell] We should not just pick and choose verses in the Bible of what we want but should look at the whole Bible. See St. Paul's letters on modesty!!!!!
