I've been a follower of Jesus since 1974 and have spent far too much of that time being less than fully committed to my faith. To some degree this was part of the growth process and to some degree this was struggling with Jesus' call on my life to " die to self ". The struggle is finally over and the Lord has won, and I'm so grateful that He defeated me ( what Wes King called "This magnificent defeat" ). The purpose of this blog is to share ideas and lessons that I've learned along the way.
Complementarianism- Our big theological word for the day. Simplified, it
means an oversimplification of scripture which is being abused by some
who mistake bigotry for spirituality, and who get their jollies by
treating women as second class people. This patriarchalism is a cult and
needs to be treated as the dangerous threat to the gospel that it is.
Jesus elevated women and treated them with dignity, because He created
them in His image, as much as He created men in His image. He created
them different, but He certainly intended them to be equal. Read this great article at The Wartburg Watch.
