Emotional Abuse in the Local Church
2008-05-29 18:07:00 Family.org had an article about Emotional Abuse that I wanted to share!"In the pews of every church, including yours, are women who are victims of abuse,"1 wrote Brenda Branson and Paula Silva in their book, Pastor's Guide?Dealing with Domestic Violence.Silva is co-founder and vice president of FOCUS Ministries, Inc., one of the few Christian ministries devoted to helping victims of domestic violence and educating pastors on abuse. For Christians and non-Christians alike, the nature of domestic abuse is psychological."Emotional abuse is always a component of physical, sexual, and verbal abuse, but it can also stand alone," she says. "In all cases of abuse, the perpetrator uses intimidation, humiliation, isolation and fear to diminish their victim's sense of self and sanity." Making your church a safer placeNaturally, Christians in emotionally abusive relationships turn to their churches and pastors for help. Some feel loved and accepted unconditionally; others walk away more deepl... More About: Church , Local , Local Church

Husbands, God Hates Divorce? But He Also Hates?
2008-05-26 17:46:00 Portion of an article written by: By Kevin McCarthyWhat am I getting at? I have personally known men ? professing Christian men ? who have treated their wives shabbily by intimidating them, domineering them, belittling them, dealing deceitfully with them, ordering them around like slaves, who have seemed to think their wives were their captives because, ?God hates divorce.? Yes, God hates divorce, but he also hates these men and what they do. They seem to think that because the Bible tells the wife to submit to her husband, that automatically makes the husband ?Dictator for Life? with a mandate for iron-fisted command. They might have heard somewhere that the husband has certain responsibilities towards his wife, but they certainly don?t act as if they have any idea what those responsibilities are, and they fail to see how the husband?s responsibilities actually make him the wife?s servant! This is written to these men, who proudly proclaim that divorce is not an option (at least fo... More About: Divorce , Husbands

The woman's place....
2008-05-21 16:46:00 Katherine Gunn of A Voice in the Desert has a very good article on the woman's place!Here is a portion at the beginning!The Hebrew word used in Genesis 2:18, 20 to describe Eve is 'ezer.' According to Strong's Concordance, this Hebrew word is used in the following verses: a) Isaiah 30:5, Ezekiel 12:14 and Daniel 11:34 to describe groups or nations that Israel, mainly, were leaning on instead of leaning on God; 2) Exodus 18:4, Deuteronomy 33:7, 33:26, 29, Psalm 20:2, 33:20, 70:5, 89:19, 115:9, 10, 11, 121:1, 2, 124:8, 146:5, and Hosea 13:9 to describe God's relationship to Israel. In the Genesis verses, it is translated meet (KJV), while in all the other verses, it is translated help (KJV). Hmm... so the word used is not a subservient one - unless we are prepared to take the position that God's role with Israel was subservient! The image I get from this is one who stands with - not behind, not sits under - stands with someone and helps them.Very good blog, and this article is w... More About: Place

Don't Step in the Biblical Leadership!
2008-05-19 07:17:00 I read this article by Reb Bradley called tough love. According to Mr. Bradley Tough Love isn't for husbands. Why? It gets in the way of leadership. You are upsurping leadership if you do this with your husband. I would assume it would be okay for men, because they don't have that issue biblically.An answer to this question can be deduced based on the Bible?s principles related to marriage and divorce. For a wife to go against her husband's desires and leave him, would require that she forsake her biblical responsibility to submit to his authority. Such a wife may justify her separation by claiming she is simply following Christ's example -- he set boundaries and "drew lines" of behavior for his followers, and that is what she is doing for her husband. But such a wife misconstrues her calling to be Christ-like -- she is called to be like Jesus in character, not in authority. In fact, the Bible tells her specifically that she is not to be like Christ in the exercise of autho... More About: Leadership , Step , Biblical

Burning Bed - Story of Domestic violence!
2008-05-15 17:29:00 Burning Bed was a movie that started to wake people up when it came to matters of domestic violence. Its a story of a women that tried to escape many times, and was failed by the system, family and was left with no real support system.Domestic violence or Domestic Abuse is more than hitting. I have heard to many times Pastors telling women that until he hits you you must not separate.I have to wonder if people LOOK to the other factors of wife abuse, martial abuse in general. Men and Women alike get verbally and emotionally abused by partners, spouses and the effects are mininized. They are told to parrot scripture and pray more to help them deal with the effects. That may work for some people, but in alot of cases it sends people into deeper despair! They are given the excuse of almost NOT being cooperative if they can't find a way of getting over it. They need to ask themselves if Jesus would tell the oppressed to JUST get over it! Love them more and show them respect ...... More About: Story , Violence , Burning , Domestic Violence

The Owl's Song: Domestic Violence: the Story of a Dancer
2008-05-07 16:39:00 The Owl's Song : Domestic Violence : the Story of a DancerStory of a dancer named Eva. She was a victim of domestic violence, and another example of how her pastor told her:What was the pastor's counsel? (He told me this with tears in his eyes.) He had told her to be more submissive. He told her to obey her husband and to strive to please him in every way. He told her that if she did what the Bible said, God would take care of her and her children. Now she was dead.What haunts me most about this story is not that Eva suffered abuse and was brutally murdered. It is not that her two children now had a daddy in prison and a mommy in Heaven. It is what my pastor said. He was a young man, good hearted, kind and earnest. He said to me, in distress, "Perhaps I should not have told her those things. Perhaps I should have helped her get away from him."Perhaps?Very moving read! More About: The Story

A Pastor's Role in Domestic Violence
2008-05-01 05:22:00 I had an email sent to me by a poster that was having problems with her blogger/google account, and asked me to mention an article she had written.Pastors, for the most part, have no concept of domestic violence issues. I posted a report I wrote on a pastor's training seminar led by Carol J. Adams: A PASTOR’S ROLE IN DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, filed in the DOMESTIC VIOLENCE category on my blogsite, www.carolyncholland.wordpress.com. It is a good article to present to pastors who are faced with this issue. We need more pastors who are trained in dealing with domestic violence, since victims are usually told to speak with their pastors. Thank you for posting this comment. Carolyn C.
