Sunday's Hymn: There Is Power in the Blood

Would you be free from the burden of sin?
There’s power in the blood, power in the blood;
Would you o’er evil a victory win?
There’s wonderful power in the blood.

Refrain

There is power, power, wonder working power
In the blood of the Lamb;
There is power, power, wonder working power
In the precious blood of the Lamb.

Would you be free from your passion and pride?
There’s power in the blood, power in the blood;
Come for a cleansing to Calvary’s tide;
There’s wonderful power in the blood.

Would you be whiter, much whiter than snow?
There’s power in the blood, power in the blood;
Sin stains are lost in its life giving flow.
There’s wonderful power in the blood.

Would you do service for Jesus your king?
There’s power in the blood, power in the blood;
Would you live daily His praises to sing?
There’s wonderful power in the blood.

—Lewis E. Jones

Round the Sphere Again: Complementarianism

Scoring the Debate
Should complementarianism be acknowledged as a timeless biblical norm or rejected as an outdated cultural standard? Joe Carter summarizes the debate (The Gospel Coalition Blog). 

Reasoning from Scripture
Sarah Flashing argues convincingly that patriarchy was God’s plan for creation before he created: “Patriarchy delivers us to the cosmic chivalry that is the gospel” (The Center for Women of Faith in Culture).
