I apologize for not getting to our monthly giveaways that I intended to do earlier in the year. We had three so far in 2025, and I’m now trying to make up for not posting these earlier. There are going to be a number of them posted in a short amount of time.
This is only open to those with a USA mailing address. There is absolutely no cost to enter.
This is your chance to receive a new copy of Unveiling Paul’s Women: Making Sense of 1 Corinthians 11:2–16 by Lucy Peppiatt.
As many of our readers know, this section of 1 Corinthians has been used to teach that women must wear a head covering when in church, as well as that women must never cut their hair (as taught in the United Pentecostal Church). It’s also been used to teach that women are somewhat less than men.
I found it very interesting how Lucy Peppiatt puts forth the thought that in these passages Paul is repeating some things that the Corinthian believers had written to him. In other words, she believes that in verses 4-5 and 7-10, Paul was repeating what the Corinthians had previously shared with him. Verse 16 is then saying that there is no such custom of wearing head coverings.
We do know that Paul was responding to a letter he had received from this group of believers, so this thought is not unreasonable. We also know that the Corinthians were very messed up and carnal, and Paul had to correct them on numerous issues.
The author also covers various aspects and views on this section of scripture. I found her view of the passages to be plausible and that they made more sense that way. I don’t believe Paul was anti-women and have never liked when people attempt to portray Paul in a negative light. There are actually those who hate Paul, I believe due to a misunderstanding or misinterpretation of certain passages. Perhaps this book will help someone who feels this way.
This giveaway is a drawing. To enter, just leave a comment to show you wish to be included. The drawing will close on November 22, 2024 at 6pm eastern time, after which I will draw a winner.
Be sure to check back to see if you have won as in the past some people have not responded after winning and so a new winner had to be drawn. You will then need to email me your mailing address if I do not already have it, so be sure to watch your email and check the spam folder. If I know your Facebook profile, I will message you there.
Don’t be alarmed if your comment does not immediately show as it may require approval.
You may want to subscribe to the email notifications of new blog posts in order to not miss these. While we try to share about our giveaways on social media, those platforms often do not show the posts to many people.

He shared how he preferred a hard copy of the Manual and that the UPCI used to send one every year to their ministers, but stopped that around about 15 years ago. If a minister wants a physical copy, they now must order and pay for one. Waldron mentioned that he is more prone to read it if he has a copy in his hands as compared to a digital copy.
I applaud him for reading all or part of the Manual each year as my guess is that the majority of UPCI ministers do not do this. I’ve known this from conversing with some of them, who were unaware of something mentioned in a Manual. For instance, I’ve heard their ministers erroneously claim that the UPCI is only a ministerial organization, when from their inception their Manuals have clearly stated otherwise at the beginning of their General Constitution.
The first video, released on August 14, 2021 and lasting just one minute and 42 seconds, has no sound and is simply written statements accusing Audley Castro of adultery. Dean Delpeache, a former UPCI minister, is listed under the video. His name is seen under all four. Joel Woodburn is the one bringing the accusations, though this isn’t disclosed until the final video.
The third is undated, even shorter and again has no sound. It stated that “As a public confession or denial was not given after I released this information on August 14, 2021, I am disclosing additional information to further clarify the truth.” It is then alleged that the woman is this person’s ex-wife and that the baby was aborted.
It is with a very heavy heart that I share with you the information in this post. I will refrain from saying everything I would like to say.

On August 8, 2005, bond was set at $15,000. It appears it was paid on September 3, 2005. He retained Gilbert G. Garcia to represent him.
On December 8, 2005, a motion was made for DNA testing and it was granted the same day. Anthony Langston was given until January 13, 2006 to provide this. Prior to this on November 8, 2005, another order for DNA testing was made, as well as him needing to be tested for AIDS/HIV and STDs. I have not included the first order in the attachments.
Langston may have never submitted his DNA as the deadline happened after the victim died. Had the right thing been done when things came to light at 
In this post, we are sharing the four page supporting affidavit for his warrant, which gives more insight into the charges. It had already been redacted by the court but I redacted two things. Some may find it triggering.
You will learn that the SVU of Hudson County, New Jersey was investigating Tony Langston earlier this year for the sexual assault of a child. Due to that investigation, they discovered that there was an assault in Colorado during September or October of 1998.
