The latest issue of JBMW was released yesterday, and I am going to highlight some of the articles in it over the next week or so. The first essay that I want to bring to your attention is by Heath Lambert, professor of biblical counseling at Boyce College. The article is titled “Breaking the Marital Impasse: How Authority and Submission Work When Spouses Disagree.” This article is one of the most practical articles I’ve ever read on how headship works when husband and wife disagree. He opens the piece by describing a real life counseling situation that he faced on this very issue. He writes,

Hallelujah!
Handel’s “Hallelujah” chorus moves me like no other piece of music, so I love this video. The video above was taped on October 30, 2010. In it, you will see a 650 person choir infiltrate Macy’s in New York City. There is an organ in the store already playing holiday music when the choir breaks out and surprises everyone. It’s really great. (HT: Justin Taylor)

Cal Thomas on Media Bias
I love this excerpt from a Cal Thomas column explaining how liberal media bias usually happens: “For a conservative guest, the questioning by a liberal usually goes something like this: ‘What do you say to people who think you are a jerk?’ Translated this means, ‘I think you’re a jerk, but I’ll couch it in a way that makes me look professional.’ To a liberal guest, the liberal host asks: ‘When did you first realize you were right about everything and the opposition was wrong?’ I exaggerate only slightly to make a point. What passes for modern ‘journalism’ is something quite different from what I remember growing up.” (HT: Trevin…

Great News from Matt Chandler
This is wonderful news from Matt Chandler about the results of his MRI yesterday. He reports: “The scan came back 100% clean… For the first time throughout this whole thing, the doctors were… visibly excited by the scan, as if they think we beat this thing.” Praise the Lord for that news!

Did he really say that?
I’m reading President George W. Bush’s memoir, Decision Points, and I’m finding it difficult to put it down. I’m puzzled by one anecdote near the beginning of the book that I thought deserved some comment. The story is about a Bush family gathering in Kennebunkport in the mid-80’s, and the Reverend Billy Graham was their special guest. At a discussion session after dinner one night, President George H. W. Bush asks Reverend Graham a question, and here’s how the younger President Bush recounts what happened:

I Hated My Mother
Dr. Heath Lambert is a professor of biblical counseling at Boyce College, and last night he shared his testimony with our students. He and his twin brother suffered horrific abuse as children at the hands of their own mother. He begins his story with this statement: “Paullette Jamison was my mother… She died a couple of months ago… I hated her. I hated her.” [audio:http://www.sbts.edu/media/audio/BoycePodcast/20101108-boyce-podcast-lambert.mp3] Dr. Lambert goes on to explain how God transformed anger and violence into a gospel triumph. Last night was really special, and I want to share it with you. Please take some time to hear this one. It is wonderful. Listen above or download here.

The NIV on 1 Timothy 2:12
One cannot overestimate the importance of 1 Timothy 2:12 in the intra-evangelical debate over gender roles and women in ministry. There is a reason why countless articles and even an entire book have been written on the interpretation of this single verse. In many ways, this verse is the most disputed text in the debate. It is clear that Paul is prohibiting something, but just what he prohibits has been fiercely contested.
