“The sad truth is that women have always been disappearing from history, and that these disappearances happen as much in the Church as anywhere else. It’s what allows too many to say: “I’ve never seen it,” and to assume that means it never happened.” https://t.co/ht0WAnp2pA

“One can only imagine how the million of Southern Baptist women feel when their own denomination cannot seem to muster enough moral courage to offer a full-throated repudiation of domestic abuse.” I feel unseen and unheard. https://t.co/bWQ9miqgUB

I’ve been waiting for a word like this. Amen! “Between legalism and license lies the messier space of wisdom and cultivation of virtue. It is in that space where we—as individuals and in relationships—flourish.” https://t.co/5LbGptHYXL

@KaitlinCurtice We were taught that even leaders who manipulate or abuse others should be trusted because they know ultimately what's best--the heart of God.

When 2/3 of your mission force is women you can’t afford to keep them from the table any longer. Why women should be seminary professors. Excellent article @meredithcook716 - https://t.co/UHlMvcSBJd @SEBTS

Taking the quantitative reasoning portion of the GRE as a 40 year old doesn’t make you feel smart... #iforgotalgebra

You shouldn't teach anyone you are not willing to learn from

Teachers are learners
The best teachers ...humble, curious, gracious learners

[Beth Moore @BethMooreLPM]

Manipulating people with the Word of God to maintain power and control is sin. It is ungodly. And it is arrogant. I don’t care how humbly it’s presented. Teach the whole counsel, not what keeps the reins tightly in your high and mighty hands.

As evangelicals we are often enamored with, yet still misunderstand, power. This has implications in our own backyard & around the world. Some good thoughts by @scotmcknight on power, evangelicals, & cultural presence. https://t.co/8T3FYpwnL5

“Holding the ropes” needs to be more than a tagline.

“When faith is completely replaced by creed, worship by discipline, love by habit; when the crisis of today is ignored because of the splendor of the past; when faith becomes an heirloom rather than a living fountain; its message becomes meaningless.”

Thousands are fleeing their homes as hostilities flare up in southern Hudaydah on #Yemen's west coast. Preliminary reports are that many have fled elsewhere in Hudaydah, Aden, Abyan, Lahj, Ibb, Taizz and Dhamar. We are verifying figures and already mobilising relief. https://t.co/NdcrG0Avm1

[Lydia Harte @lharte1040]

Too often we read about women in the scriptures and tag them as bad girls because their stories involve words like “harlot” or “concubine” or because we can’t seem to help reading our Western culture and social privileges into their stories. https://t.co/KDql3rXvSy

The way we view the women of the Bible is more than an interpretive decision. It’s a matter of justice. https://t.co/uItu750gvB

“The constant refusal to learn from the black church can only be termed ecclesiastical arrogance.” This is true of our missiology as well as we export our exceptionalism. Important read! https://t.co/AglcDB4uVA via @TheWitnessBCC

My library @wcplonline is awesome! Can’t wait to start reading @angiecthomas @KavehAkbar and @jesmimi #ReadMore

[Lydia Harte @lharte1040]

My reading goal for 2018 is to primarily read POC, women, and other marginalized voices, buy their books and Amazon review them. #takingbackmyeducation

[Lydia Harte @lharte1040]

Anything less than the Great Commision will perpetuate a culture where women are marginalized from ministry for the simple reason that the core mission is not large enough to need them. https://t.co/wRAV8KVBmN

Sometimes we wait on God to do something about injustice...
and then we realize that God is waiting on us.

God has no other hands than ours. We are the body of Christ.

When we pray for God to move a mountain, God may hand us a shovel.
