My plea to @TGC: keep the main thing the main thing. Do what you can to equip and strengthen local churches. Let the gender of leaders and preachers be an open-handed issue.
@TGC The Gospel Coalition, with its enormous influence on the worldwide church (6 million readers), has made some progress in bringing women to the table. A few women help lead it now and preach at its conferences @jenniferwilkin@RebeccMcLaugh@courtneydoctor@melissabkruger
Here is the great irony — @TGC essentially deploys a few women to strengthen its influence in undermining the contribution of tens of thousands of other women in local churches everywhere.

@MikeWingerii Parenting. Using your gifts to serve church and society. Bringing in income. These are human roles, not men's or women's roles. Julie and I have 5 kids and we team together to do those three things. None of this compromises our society, our family, our church, or my manliness.
@MikeWingerii@RickWarren I've informed Rick Warren about Andrew Bartlett and my engagement with your exegesis @ https://t.co/DKVo6bN0fr That's a free online resource worth checking out?
@MikeWingerii I doubt any of them made the same effort as Andrew Bartlett and I did to 1) not misrepresent you 2) listen to you very carefully 3) respond to your clear invitations to provide this critique and 4) give the critique in the respectable manner we have given it.
Here's the myth that drove the Southern Baptist Convention to remove all churches who have female pastors and teachers. https://t.co/DwWP4CpcI6 @bethallisonbarr @NijayKGupta @BethMooreLPM
@laurambarringer @bethallisonbarr And if a man gets lost and asks a woman for directions, she may give him directions but only a way that doesn't betray her mature femininity or cross his mature masculinity, says Piper.
