When You Thought I Wasn’t Looking
By MARY RITA SCHILKE KORZAN When you thought I wasn’t looking you hung my first painting on the refrigerator, and I wanted to paint another. When you thought I wasn’t looking you fed a stray cat, and I thought it was good to be kind to animals. When you thought I wasn’t looking you baked […]
Gay Gene ‘Nonsense’
April 1998 [Seems like the jury’s still out on this one.] Subject: Gay gene “Nonsense” Reproductive biologist warns on ‘role’ of genes [from UniNEWS (U Melb.) 13 March 1998] People make a great mistake in talking about genes ‘for’ aggression, or genes ‘for’ homosexuality, or even genes ‘for’ height, says eminent reproductive biologist, Professor Anne […]
Premarital Sex/Fornication: An Interview With Jesus
Following the voluminous response to my (in?)famous/imaginary interview with Jesus about homosexuality (http://jmm.org.au/articles/2911.htm) I thought I’d try again, on an equally complex/controversial subject.

Headship In The Home
by Norman Bales The Bible uses the term “head” in relation to men and women in two different contexts. 1 CORINTHIANS 11:3 In 1 Corinthians 11:3, Paul wrote, “Now I want you to realize that the head of every man is Christ and the head of every woman is man, and the head of Christ […]
Headship In The Home
by Norman Bales INTRODUCTION What does it mean to be “head of the house?” Most people probably think in terms of command and obedience. In an earlier essay, I contended that a husband is “head (gr. kephale) of the wife” (Ephesians 5:23) and that headship involves the exercise of authority. Quite often when men assert […]
