But women preaching and pastoring is the real problem? What a joke.
Where are you restricting what God has already authorized?
Courage isn't waiting for fear to disappear.
It's moving forward knowing His presence goes with you.

The truest truth I can tell from my own life story is that Jesus made all the difference. I have told him this so many times. Penned it so many times. And will say it so many times before I see him face-to-face. I know who and how I’d be without him. He’s allowed me to stare that person in the face no few times.
If I have any dignity at all. Any self-respect. Any respect for other others. Any freedom from bondage. Any endurance of love, endurance of hope, endurance of faith, endurance of joy, it’s him.
He has not just made a difference to me. He has made all the difference. This is why I can’t shut up about him. I will never believe that what he’s done for me he would not joyfully and lavishly do for anyone.
@getabass Eric Conn is conning people. Women are made in the image of God & Scripture shows God has given women autonomy - the freedom to live & make our own choices.
Learning can happen anywhere. A bldg. and a pulpit hold no magical powers, no spiritual authority. Spiritual authority comes from the Holy Spirit who resides in every Christ-follower. Yet, people like @godlywomanhood don’t want you to know that.
This is legalistic-pretzel-twisting-logic from @godlywomanhood who says women should only learn from men elders/pastors in a church bldg., not a seminary. So, can women learn in a seminary classroom w/male professors & Bible scholars teaching the class? No? #Legalism
When complete attention and focus is directed toward squashing #women who share the #Gospel, you know a denomination (convention) is opposing #Jesus himself. #SamaritanWoman#SBC
"Spiritual" and "abuse” are two words that should never go together. It’s a diabolical pairing. The Spirit of God hates abuse, uncovers abuse, and cares for the abused. Yet we often see spirituality used destructively against those made in God's image. The damage runs deep.
“A Christianity without empathy is nothing but an empty religion. The heart of the Gospel is to love your neighbor as yourself, to rejoice with those who rejoice, and to weep with those who weep.”

@sophon3body Yes, exactly!💯 Also, both men & women vote liberal - it isn’t just women, yet TTW labels women the “problem”who cause harm. I vote both liberal & conservative depending on the issue, so I’m not saying voters who vote a certain way are a problem. TTW always gives men a pass.
