Why Support CBMW?

As a Christian reader of Gender Blog, our prayer is that you are committed to a solid local church and that your charitable giving primarily supports the congregation.  Perhaps you are one of the many readers who have been blessed by God with additional resources to devote to further kingdom ministry.  What should you consider in supporting a ministry outside of your local church?  Or in other words, why should you prayerfully consider becoming a financial supporter of the Council on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood before July 1^st?  Consider the following seven reasons:

1. CBMW is committed to the centrality of the gospel. The substitutionary death of Jesus Christ is the centerpiece of salvation history, and the cross is central all that we do in ministry. Only through the blood of Jesus can men and women turn from sin and accurately display the glorious image of God. In Christian marriage, a man and a woman have the privilege of portraying the relationship of Jesus Christ to the church.

2. CBMW is positioned to serve local churches. We draw upon thousands of hours of research from some of the best scholars in the world to help local pastors teach sound doctrine about biblical manhood and womanhood. Throughout history, local churches have been served in specialized ways by Bible translators, mission agencies, seminaries, and organizations like CBMW.

3. CBMW takes seriously its stewardship of a treasury of biblical teaching on gender. We have made available for free untold thousands of books and articles over the past 20 years. Our goal in the coming year is to better organize the amazing resources on our website so that more scholars, pastors, husbands, wives and single men and women can benefit.

4. CBMW has a worldwide reach in the gender debate. Whether it is an orphanage in India teaching about biblical womanhood, a journal for scholars in Slovakia, or Anglican churches wrestling over doctrine in Australia, we are continually hearing about how CBMW resources on gender are being used around the world. People from more than 100 countries continue to access the CBMW website every month.

5. CBMW serves as a voice for timeless truth in a culture of change. Every day, readers of Gender Blog receive updates on ways to think biblically about men who receive alimony payments, women who rent their wombs, denominational developments in the gender debate, and even the goofiest of distortions of manhood and womanhood.

6. CBMW is currently limited in its ministry by financial constraints. We have more opportunities to serve Christian men and women through scholarship, conferences and literature distribution than we have resources for this coming fall. We could be more effective over the next six months if more people would partner financially with this ministry.

7. The impact of your gift on the gender debate will be doubled for a limited time. A generous and anonymous donor has pledged to match every donation up to $30,000 made to CBMW before July 1, 2008.

We would like to ask you to take advantage of this strategic opportunity and join the team of financial donors who help CBMW serve the church.  If you would like any additional information about this ministry please use the "feedback" link below or call our offices at 502-897-4065.  Thank you for reading Gender Blog and for your commitment to biblical manhood and womanhood.
