Girls Girls Girls: Lifeway Pulls Gospel Today From Shelves Over Chick Pastors Cover

No, it wasn't a picture of JC's Girls on the cover of Gospel Today that got it pulled from shelves at Lifeway Bookstores. That might actually make sense, since the outfit is a gaggle of mostly former sex workers who've given up the g-string to preach the gospel. That's a titillating controversy, 'cause they hang out at strip clubs and buy lap dances to get these wayward ladies to grind up on Jesus for a change. No, what got Gospel Today pulled from Lifeway Bookstores--owned by the Southern Baptist Convention--was its cover featuring a gaggle of female pastors. For some god-forsaken reason, Lifeway still hits the pillow at night believing only dudes should be ordained. Southern Baptists hold the same myopic view, though some of their churches do have female-led congregations. Are these the same people who support Sarah Palin to help head the country but not actually head up a church? Am I missing something? Oh, but you can totally still get the mag if you ask for it. It's right back there behind the counter with Juggs for Jesus.

A woman preaching is like a dog's walking on his hinder legs. It is not done well; but you are surprised to find it done at all.

Dr. Johnson was always funny, but often wrong.

Also behind the counter: Climaxing Clergy, Hole-y Ghost, Prayboy, High Priest Society, Penancehouse, and of course, Genesis.

(This is an old story, but worthy of a response.)
The Holy Bible says,
1 Timothy 2:11-14 (King James Version)
11Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.
12But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.
13For Adam was first formed, then Eve.
14And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.
One can either accept Jesus as Lord (Authority) or one can reject Him.
One can either accept the Holy B.I.B.L.E as the inerrant word of God and our Basic Instruction Before Leaving Earth or dismiss it as a book of old stories.
God gives each of us a choice.
Lifeway made the correct decision, and I truly hope that anyone who may read these comments does the same. If you any doubts about a needs of each of us to accept Jesus as Lord and Saviour, then visit http://www.needgod.com/ .
