Recently, the Southern Baptist Convention voted to move closer to a permanent ban on women serving in pastoral leadership roles. While I respect each denomination's right to interpret Scripture as it understands it, I reach a different conclusion based on the witness of God's Word.
Deborah served as a prophet and judge, leading Israel with wisdom and authority (Judges 4:4–5). Priscilla helped Apollos, an eloquent preacher, to teach more accurately in the faith (Acts 18:24–26). Paul commended Phoebe as a minister and servant of the church (Romans 16:1–2).
These faithful women remind us that God calls and equips people for ministry according to His purpose and gifting. Therefore, let us support, encourage, and pray for women who serve as teachers, preachers, and pastors. Human institutions may debate their calling, but when God places His hand on a life, no vote can overturn His voice, and no barrier can stop His purpose.
Yes, Women Belong!
