DEMAND FOR AN APOLOGY FROM THE
COUNCIL ON BIBLICAL MANHOOD AND
BIBLICAL WOMANHOOD

The Freedom for Christian Women Coalition
has Fed-Exed a demand for a public apology from the CBMBW.  

Read the list of Concerns and Demands

At a time in our church history that the main focus should be on winning lost
souls and spreading the gospel to a hurting world, we fear for the future
because the Council on Biblical Manhood and Biblical Womanhood has placed
a greater priority on women’s submissive role rather than on the gospel of
Jesus Christ.

It is with that thought in mind that we make these statements.

Are you tired of just talking about it?

We talked about it, we prayed about it,
and we've cried about it.  

This is your opportunity to do
something about it.

Two years ago, Hurricane Ike blew through and devastated portions of
southern Texas.  Pine trees snapped all around us and hardwood trees
fell.  Limbs fell through our neighbor’s bedroom ceilings, one killing a
friend.  

The electricity went off with no idea when it would return. Food spoiled
in refrigerators without power.  Ice was scarce.  

Televisions were off.  People were outside cleaning up the mess of
trees against their homes, covering parts of their roof that was missing,
and securing their homes to make them habitable again.  City after city
struggled with the cleanup.

Neighbors held cook-out parties and helped each other survive.

Each day our son left this area and went to work in a city not far away
that did not feel the effects of this huge storm.  He told us that
electricity was flowing, and people were going about their business as
usual. He said the lines at the gas pumps and the stores were long with
refugees seeking gas and food.

The fifth day without power our food supplies were gone so we left
before daylight to make the journey into this city to find food.

We made our way carefully down the highway and could see power
lines downed by trees.  All was dark.

Suddenly up ahead we saw lights!  Bright lights! A city of lights.  As we
got closer, we saw that the town still did not have electricity, but the
football stadium lights flooded the dark.  We realized that this was the
power company’s staging area.  There were workers, and tents, and
utility trucks that had arrived from other states to help us regain our
electrical power.

Passing this area, we again went into the darkness.  Making our way to
the city where the lights stayed on, and food was available.

I encourage you to make your way out of the darkness and go to
church next Sunday to where there is light.  

Find a church that has a woman pastor or associate pastor, or a church
that recognizes women’s equality.

Do not be fooled.  Some churches that say they do, may have an
underlying belief that women are to be submissive.  (Remember the
mega Assembly of God church I told you about in Springfield Missouri
where women were told by a visiting preacher that they were to
submit to their husbands).

As you pass through, remember the staging area.  There are people out
here working to bring you light.

Return back into the darkness, and help those neighbors who need the
light.  Add your talents and strengths to the workers who are working
throughout the day and night so that others might see.

There is hope.  Remember the lights are on in other cities.

There is Hope
I want to be able
to walk into my
church and not
feel that my
church holds it
against me that I
am a woman.
