Women’s Ministry in the Church
Modern Christianity parades diverse models of church ministry to women. But what is biblical women’s ministry? Women’s ministries are popular, yet controversial in our day, partly because the term itself is vague, ambiguous, and does not appear in Scripture. One might ask, “Why are women teaching in the church, Sunday School, seminaries, and numerous other venues?” What kinds of experiences does the Bible call for to minister to women in the church? Jeff Pollard takes an exegetical approach to these questions.
the answer is often, “Titus 2 says that women should teach women.” But what does Titus 2 teach? God’s infallible and sufficient Word says that older women must be “teachers of good things.” What does God want them to teach?
The inspired, infallible, and sufficient Word of God says that older women should be “teachers of good things.” Among the seven good things that the Apostle Paul says that older women should teach young women is to be “keepers at home.” What did the Apostle mean by this? How should we apply it today? The answers are crucial for building healthy churches.
