Women who love what God made them will embrace their role, enjoy it, and be creative in it.
I am a Christian woman. by Eternally Minded Mamas
Not a pastor.
I never will be a pastor because pastors are men.
Elder and pastor are the same and when God describes qualified elders He says: HUSBAND of one wife. That is plain, understandable language. There is no Greek interpretation needed
(In the early church, these terms, along with episkopos, meaning "overseer" or "bishop", were used interchangeably to describe the same group of local leaders.)
Ladies, God has some great things for us to do: teach women, teach children, share the gospel, love the brethren, serve, use our gifts to bless the church body and our families... And this is just the beginning of a huge list of things we are called to do!
We never have to wonder if we are called to be a pastor because it's not something God has called us to.
This doesn't mean we aren't equal. This just means we have a different role. Each gender works best within the parameters God has placed in His Word. We can trust Him since He created us and He knows what is best.
For whatever reason, our society is obsessed with women taking men's roles and turning men into followers rather than leaders. God is not interested in this. God has called men to lead.
There is a reason that Christ chose 12 men and not 12 women.... Men lead men and women lead in other ways under men. This is not sexist, this is just good and godly order.Let's enjoy the things God has called us to do and let the men do the things they're called to do and let's do it with joy and gratitude in our hearts!
Love, Katie
"Likewise, teach the older women to be reverent in the way they live, not to be slanderers or addicted to much wine, but to teach what is good. Then they can urge the younger women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home, to be kind, and to be subject to their husbands, so that no one will malign the word of God." Titus 2:3-5
