DID JEPHTHAH SACRIFICE HIS DAUGHTER? Let’s look at the arguments supporting a “no” answer to whether or not Jephthah sacrificed his daughter. First, such a sacrifice was contrary to the Mosaic law; the evidence suggests Jephthah respected God, was a sane person, and would have known God would be displeased (read Deuteronomy 12:31). Sacrificing children was an abomination toGod.

ROLE OF DEACONESSES
Second, the various duties of a deaconess would pattern those of a deacon: visiting the ill, helping the poor, and serving in other ways, basically on behalf of women in need. It is important to stay within bounds. Many churches regard deaconesses as the wives of the pastors and deacons. This is a conviction worthy of study in itself. GOD IS WORTHY OF OUR TRUST God Is Worthy of Our Trust. I am convinced that if you trust in something or someone, you already absolutely believe that something or someone is worthy of your trust. Furthermore, your actions will reveal whether or not you truly believe in the object of that trust. mmeyer— October 9,
