A young lady alleged to be the wife of a pastor has inspired me to establish this post in the Hope of bringing a sound awareness and fullness of intelligence to other members of the fairer sex who would also attempt to attest to such an honorable title, if indeed such is the case. I trust that there are some pastor's wives whom are able to suffer the admonishing of a brother, should that brother be an elder, or should they suffer any absence of that leadership so ordained of a true pastor and husband in the Lord Jesus -- despite any obvious absence thereof. I would not suggest that such a wife as I might have referred to in this composition is the one who had inspired me to preach the truth. In all frankness, I confess that she is not, to my knowledge, that sort of person to whom I would make mention in the beginning of this paragraph. That the Full Bible Truth concerning holy matrimony and godly living should make her nauseous is something that she might well discuss with her Lord (whoever her Lord may be). I dedicate this message board in memory of her soul, that it should be delivered from the bondage of false doctrine and that her eyes might be opened to the fullness of the truth and do so in the hope that she may indeed edify the proper role of a pastor's wife. I am deeply saddened at the thought that her beloved husband, in a manner of speaking, is no longer with us, but for the present, I console myself in the equal knowledge that perhaps he never was. Of a truth it is said that many are called but few are chosen. This board is for pastor's wives to reflect on and meditate in view of their own lives as they line up with the Living Word before the brothers and elders of true, Apostolic Oneness. God bless you all
