Bemused, I queried, \u201cWhat seems to be the trouble?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis church allows women to be pastors, and that\u2019s contrary to Scripture,\u201d he explained. \u201cAnd I\u2019m not staying.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Attempting to explain the basis of his protest, he said, \u201cWomen aren\u2019t supposed to teach or have authority over a man.\u201d An attempt to discuss the cultural\/historical context of 1 Timothy 2:12 did nothing to change his mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">I did not give chase.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Developing and maintaining a respect for women and women in ministry should start when we\u2019re young. It should increase over time with the understanding of Scripture. It should free us to get Kingdom work done at the times needed most (as in now!) instead of quibbling over who is speaking or leading or teaching. Developing and maintaining ministry culture that regards, not relegates, women is a way to honor God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let me share a bit about my journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Start \u2018Em When They\u2019re Young.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a boy, then as a young man in my teen years, admittedly I didn\u2019t have a good handle on the matter of women in leadership, and that\u2019s probably for three reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First, there was no specific teaching on the subject in my church though women were an integral part of the Pentecostal heritage in which I came of age. Second, what instruction I did have was given at home, directed more toward the what than the why. And third, the struggle to always do righteous works is just that \u2013 a struggle. And our enemy, with the help of his impish miscreants, is always around to assist our fleshly inclination to disrespect others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The teaching I received at home came in the form of edicts such as \u201cDon\u2019t you EVER hit girls\u201d (Dad\u2019s emphasis), a focus on the Golden Rule, and instruction on ways of demonstrating courtesy toward women and girls. That I had a mother and four sisters, though, gave me an immediate opportunity to apply what I was taught.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The why came more through years of contemplating Scripture, considering what the Bible has to say regarding gender roles and human dignity. As part of that, Scripture was clear as to what my responsibilities are for the things God calls me to think and do regarding others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The noun form of respect means esteem for or a sense of the worth or excellence of a person, a personal quality, or ability. The verb form of the word is simply using our feet, hands, minds, and mouths to properly demonstrate respect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Doing Right by God\u2019s Daughters<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since Scripture describes men as sons of God, then logically women are daughters of God (Romans 8:16; Galatians 3:26-29). It occurred to me years ago that if I treat a woman disrespectfully, then I\u2019m disrespecting her father too. When that thought hit this Christian male\u2019s mind, it translated to an even higher thought: to disrespect women as a whole is to disrespect God\u2019s daughters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another of the noun-form definitions of respect is deference to a right, privilege, privileged position, or someone or something considered to have certain rights or privileges; proper acceptance or courtesy; acknowledgment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sounds royal to me. And since our heavenly Father is the King above all kings, by being deferential to God\u2019s daughters, I show respect for His Majesty too. And to live in the favor of the King? I\u2019ll take it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Doing Right by My Spiritual Sisters<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For me, this gets right to the issue of sexuality. One of the weapons I\u2019ve used as a disciple and minister to battle lustful thoughts is to remember a simple, spiritual family formula: Since God is our Father and I am one of His sons and women are His daughters, then women are my sisters. Let me qualify the importance of this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gender differences between sisters and brothers offer immediate opportunity for young boys to respectfully broaden their horizons in how to relate well with others. Yet the nature of having sisters on earth is temporary while having spiritual sisters is forever. If I can understand how wrong it would be to take sexual advantage of or abuse one of my temporal sisters, how very wrong it would be to take advantage of a spiritual sister.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Satan is thrilled to help a male minister exploit his spiritual sister\u2019s vulnerability in times of crises. A female minister shared with me an eye-witness account:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A young lady she knew had observed the way a certain minister treated his wife and longed for the same kind of relationship. The lady expressed her admiration to the male minister, going so far as to express her desire for the same thing. Unfortunately, the minister began giving the young lady the affirmation she craved and &#8230; well, you can guess the rest of the story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Men, we need to take every thought captive. Don\u2019t give any advantage to Satan. Make sure you don\u2019t become his \u201ctrophy\u201d or facilitate making a sister in the Lord one either. Remember: it is God\u2019s will that every woman be your spiritual sister (1 Timothy 5:2).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Doing Right by My Wife<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Partnering with me 100 percent, following me as I follow Christ \u2013 this is a tall enough order that God calls my wife to (Genesis 2:18-20; 1 Corinthians 11:3; Ephesians 5:22-24). However, Ephesians 5 alone puts 300 percent more focus on the husband\u2019s responsibilities than the wife\u2019s (Ephesians 5:22-33). It\u2019s clear to me that as a husband there\u2019s a template for me to follow: Jesus, as the Bridegroom, gave His life for the Church, His Bride, and He never treats us disrespectfully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I had been working to succeed on this point in several ways during the first few years of our marriage. One of the ways I failed, however, was by making jokes at my wife\u2019s expense from time to time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At a leadership meeting in March of 1991, our senior pastor asked my wife, Kelly, to stand, be recognized, and say a few words as the newly-hired children\u2019s pastor of our church.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For those of you who don\u2019t know my wife, let me describe her relevant to this anecdote: she\u2019s only four feet eleven, but she\u2019s going to heaven.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So when my wife stood to be recognized, I blurted out, \u201cKelly, Pastor asked you to stand,\u201d which elicited a lot of cheap laughs from people within earshot.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My boss\u2019s response to this in my next weekly meeting with him? \u201cThat was totally disrespectful, and I rebuke you in Jesus\u2019 name! Never make jokes at your wife\u2019s expense. Didn\u2019t anyone ever teach you that?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Embarrassed by my lack of respect, I\u2019ve never done it again, and I have found chivalry to be a much better guidance system than chauvinism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pushback on Women in Ministry Leadership<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of late, I led a church in our movement that has included women among its pastoral staff since 1991. Back in the earliest of those days, serving as the church\u2019s youth minister put me in the unique place of having opponents of women in ministry try whispering gossip in my ear against the senior pastor and board members.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At staff meetings, when we discussed the negative feedback our pastor received for this inclusion, we had opportunity to formulate godly perspectives on the matter and we pushed onward. The truth is, over these past years I have heard the same objections, and they haven\u2019t been scholarly; rather, they have been ugly and ignorant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Isn\u2019t it ironic to assert that women should be kept silent in the church and have no authority over a man &#8230; unless, of course, a woman wants to teach a boys\u2019 Sunday school class?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the ways I\u2019ve explained the place of women on my staff has been to equate it with the men who serve: no pastor on my staff is operating on his or her own authority. Each is an extension of my authority over the ministries of the church.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That has quenched some ungodly fire in some but not in others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Doing Right by Women\u2019s History in Ministry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Where would Open Bible Churches be without the sacrifice, service, and insights \u2013 you know, the leadership \u2013 of women?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019ve read <em>Heritage &amp; Horizons: The History of Open Bible Standard Churches<\/em> three times, so I can earnestly pray, \u201cThank you, Lord, for calling women into apostolic, prophetic, evangelistic, pastoral, and teaching offices to help birth this movement so long ago!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, holding myself to account for a lifetime of opportunities, instruction, successes, and failures is how I\u2019ll maintain a respect culture for women, and women in ministry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/messagemagazinetesthome.wpcomstaging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/C-Loftis-1.jpg?fit=1024%2C683&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10726\" width=\"512\" height=\"342\" srcset=\"https:\/\/openbiblemessage.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/C-Loftis-1.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/openbiblemessage.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/C-Loftis-1-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/openbiblemessage.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/C-Loftis-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/openbiblemessage.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/C-Loftis-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/openbiblemessage.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/C-Loftis-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/openbiblemessage.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/C-Loftis-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/openbiblemessage.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/C-Loftis-1-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/openbiblemessage.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/C-Loftis-1-1440x960.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>Chuck Loftis is the lead pastor of Prairie Family Church in Bismarck, North Dakota.
