You see this life? As long as I am the one living it, I must design it with own hand. I don't like it? good. Back to the drawing board, we redesign again. As long as there is breath in me, there is a new design in me.
Men who gloss over women solely for their academic achievements amuse me though.
It’s good to see a woman applying herself but it’s way more important that she’s a reasonable human being.
I’m not saying that going to school and being a reasonable human are mutually exclusive, I’m saying that a woman’s degrees and material worth do not matter to the extent some men gloss over it.
Any idiot can go to school, get degrees and become a Dr.
Nothing is more important in a person than their personal values.
somewhere in your 20s or 30s you’ll get the opportunity to rebuild your life after a negative loop. its very important that you see that journey through
El cristiano, además de ser bondadoso y amable, ha de ser compasivo, amar sin interés y buscar el bien de los demás, sabiendo que en cada hermano y hermana que sufre es el mismo Señor quien pide y recibe, quien es acogido o rechazado, amado o despreciado.
Mañana comenzará el Mundial, y muchos estarán atentos a los partidos. El fútbol nos recuerda algo que no debemos olvidar: la vida no es una carrera para lucirse en solitario, sino un camino que aprendemos a recorrer juntos. Quien no sabe pasar el balón, aunque tenga talento, todavía no ha entendido el juego. Y quien no sabe vivir con los demás y para los demás, todavía no ha entendido la vida. #ViajeApostólico
alexia gave barca everything she could, she has earned the right and respect to choose where she’ll be able to play and enjoy football again, being valued, respected and without the constant demand and pressure she has faced, this is her life, this is her career, she once deserves to choose what’s best for her and where she’ll be valued as a person and financially, so she can secure herself for the future and still be close to her home, family and friends, while still being respectful to her former club and to her culé heart, no direct barcelona rival and still getting to play at the level she’s at, she deserves our respect, support and validation for the next few years she has left before she hangs up her boots, it’s her choice, not yours, so stop adding unnecessary pressure - after all that’s one of the reasons for her leaving barcelona isn’t it? - everyone blaming her for everything and demanding the world from her as if she hasn’t given barcelona all she could, not to mention she has got the club to where it is now, but since the club didn’t take her mental health seriously and only created more pressure and demanded more and more from her while not appreciating her enough to offer more financial stability and respect both on the pitch and off of it, she’s earned the right to leave and get that elsewhere.
she’s forever my captain and la reina and i’ll respect and support her wherever she goes and whatever she does 👑
There are matters too deep and personal that one must be EXTREMELY surgical,empathetic and careful to give an opinion on. Matters like fertility, adoption, grief and so on. Please, if you’ve never experienced it, you know NOTHING! Absolutely NOTHING!
Your best option is SILENCE!
As a Christian woman with a voice (especially a feminist) you have to get comfortable being called rebellious. Like actually use am rub body because the only way you’d stop being called that is if you shut up more 😂
International Day For The Boy Child.
Pin drop silence.
Only a few good men said a couple things.
The rest were either mute or were all about "nobody is talking about the boy child" like it's not their job.
E reach feminism nau, all your corpus cavernosum have stand.
Kaare.
All this English you people are speaking on this app doesn’t concern me. I’m both a Christian and a feminist. Until misogyny and patriarchy are erased from the church that is supposed to be a safe space for women, I will continue to identify as both.
"You cannot be a Christian and be feminist"
Every damn time.
How about "You cannot be a Christian and be misogynist"
How about "Drop your patriarchy and faux supremacy at home for awon molebi ile Grandpa eh"
How about that?
You people are unserious.
Is Jesus a feminist? If we say yes, what then would be Jesus opinion on the woman’s bodily autonomy in feminism?
Feminist believe women have total control over what happens to their body.
This is why they argue they can abort babies at any stage. Even till birth.
What would be Jesus’ opinion on that?
Central to the tenets of modern feminism is the concept of Free Sex.
Sexual liberation is empowerment. That’s modern feminism.
So a woman should be able to have all forms and sorts of sex she wishes.
What’s the opinion of Jesus on that?
Modern feminism believes marriage is oppression. That women must dissociate from it.
What is the opinion of Jesus on that?
We can go on and on but the point remains that Jesus is not a feminist in the conventional sense.
But Jesus is good. Just. Loving. And He established the equality of the sexes when He said both men and women are coheirs of redemption:
1 Pet. 3:7
“Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives,
and treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as COHEIRS with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayers.”
In redemption, we are spiritually equal. There’s no greater statement than that because no other religion grants women such equality.
Jesus is beyond feminism. Jesus is good, and just. And loving.
There is also a conversation we need to have with Christian men.
Because some of you speak about women with an underhanded disdain that is deeply un-Christlike, then hide behind “biblical order” to justify it.
You cannot simply look at every Christian woman who resonates with feminism and dismiss her as rebellious. History has shown women have had reasons to fight. The Church is not entirely innocent in the abuse and silencing of women. We have sometimes weaponized Scripture instead of rightly dividing it.
Some women did not become angry because they hate God. They became angry because people used God against them.
There are women who have been talked down to, ignored, diminished, spiritually manipulated, and emotionally controlled in church spaces while men quoted “submission” at them like a threat.
And when women begin to push back against that, you cannot automatically label them rebellious without enough humility to ask:
“What exactly are they reacting to?”
Because even in Scripture, God did not condemn women who challenged systems.
The daughters of Zelophehad fought.
They contended.
They challenged a structure that disadvantaged them.
And God said:
“The daughters of Zelophehad speak right.” (Numbers 27:7)
Not rebellious.
Not dishonorable.
Not with the spirit of Jezebel…
Right.
Some of you need to realize that being male does not automatically make your interpretation superior.
Statements like:
“Woman was created later, therefore she is lesser,”
“Eve was deceived, therefore women are inferior,”
“Men are naturally superior because Adam came first,”
do not make you sound spiritually mature. They make you sound biblically unintelligent.
Genesis 1 says:
“Male and female created he them.”
God did not create woman as an afterthought. He had both genders in mind from the beginning.
And Genesis 2 is not about superiority.
It is about order.
Order does not mean value.
Christ and the Church have order.
The Father and the Son have order.
Order is not inferiority.
In fact, biblical leadership is not domination.
Christ never used His position to belittle the Church, He died for her.
So how did some Christian men become more arrogant than Christ?
You brandish submission like a weapon.
You speak about masculinity like it is superiority.
You talk about women as though leadership means lordship.
News flash, you are not a biblical male. You are carnally minded and we all know what that means.
To lead in our Kingdom is to serve. Where is your service?!
And if creation order is your argument for superiority, then goats should be greater than men because animals were created before Adam.
The logic collapses immediately.
The truth is many women are angry because they encountered distortion disguised as doctrine.
Male ego preached as theology.
Misogyny defended with proof texts.
And instead of constantly rushing to call women rebellious, maybe Christian men need enough self-awareness to ask:
“Have we represented Christ properly?”
Because many women are not rejecting Christ.
They are reacting to men who looked nothing like Him.
Love and Light… with a sprinkle of Holy Ghost Fire.
Lol, she is completely and totally right
Being a pastor does not give you complete and total capacity in all matters that's why pastors themselves grow, they develop and become better in pastoring. The same reason a married pastor with years of successful marriage and ministry is likely to give better counsel than a single pastor just starting out at ministry.
If as a pastor you don't operate in all spiritual gifts and ministry, still trusting God, still asking him, why do you think you're an expert at marriage just because you're a pastor😂
We should embrace the concept of referral even in ministry. You have a matter you don't have foothold on but you have a pastor friend who is proficient there, please refer while you build capacity. You're not referring, you're also not helping your members in areas you don't have sufficient capacity
That's still the concept in healthcare where a doctor is expected to have knowledge of all areas of medicine but proficiency lies with Specialists
This doesn't apply to just marriage and pastoring. A brother approaches you as a believer to open up his struggles with fornication and masturbation, and you know another brother who God is helping to help people with this struggle, you better refer!
