Simply Church - The Blog of Felicity Dale

Inviting women to join the ranks

I am so grateful for the men who have invited me to co-labor alongside them in groups that have Kingdom significance–not as Tony’s wife, nor as the “token woman,” but in my own right, based on my calling and giftings. The roles of leadership (servanthood) in the church are mostly dominated my males. But God [...]

Contested territory

Some time ago, I watched a fascinating video by Lance Wallnau called Piercing the Veil. Here’s what I understand to be his basic concept. “Once you reach critical mass on a revelation, everyone gets access easily to what was once contested territory.” Up until recently, the idea of women co-laboring alongside men equally has been [...]

What image does a Christian woman convey?

Since I’m working very hard on completing the book on women that I’m compiling, this morning I decided take the easy way out for the next few blog posts and find some quotes about women. So I googled “quotes, Christian, women” looking for inspiration. The majority of what came up was I’m sure really good, [...]

Bringing back House 2House Magazine

Before there were books and conferences galore about simple/organic church life, there was a magazine!  And this morning my lovely wife, Felicity, blogs about it.  You can read about it at this link.  What a great opportunity this presents to all of us.

Beloved, I pray that you prosper and be in health. 3 John v. 2

Recently the staff at my company enrolled me in a contest for Austin's Fittest Executive!  (see profile page to help me in my quest)  I guess that they all know that I love playing squash.  But as I looked at the minimum requirements for being involved in this contest, I realized that I can't reach the minimum standard in most of the required exercises.  I have been working on doing push up for the past few months, and I have…

Can Christians show the world how to handle escalating medical costs?

If the "kingdoms of this world are to become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ" then you and I have to take the rule of Jesus out into the world around us.  Isn't the present expression of the kingdom of God wherever we see the uncontested rule of Jesus through his people?  For years I have been challenged by what the medical world would look like if it was being run by Jesus.  A simplistic answer might be that Jesus would just heal everybody.  But that has not been my experience.  I…

Beyond Evangelical - The blog of Frank Viola

Religious Jealousy: The Unspoken Root Behind Hatred, Slander & Murder

The religious elite ignored Him as long as they could. Since Jesus sported no theological degrees and wasn’t part of the pastors guild, they didn’t take Him seriously. He was not credible in their eyes. But they could only follow this course for so long. His influence grew so large that they couldn’t ignore Him [...]
