The 1960’s were the era of
the Woman's Liberation Movement that spread across the
country. I feel that is was one of the worst things that happened as
I'll explain. This movement had some positive results I will not deny from
what I've read of History that the women's right's movement of the
1800's did far more than the women's liberation or Feminist movement.
The Feminist movement of the 60's
fueled the same- sex agenda if you don't agree check out any Feminist
Group namely NOW. Feminism blurred gender lines and roles and does not line up
with Scripture. However men also by nature have an overwhelming sense of
pride. I realize that there are many differing viewpoints on a woman’s
place in life and in the church. There are some men who feel that a woman’s
place is to do whatever they demand, that is not biblical at all. Others say
that women should be kept “barefoot
and pregnant”. That is not biblical either. Others believe that
women are second class citizens in society, and in the church. That is not a
biblical view either. But neither is the view that Woman can do anything a man
can do or vice-versa.
When we destroy gender roles and the
appearance of femininity and masculinity, we detract from the beautiful picture
of our redemption. The churches (born again believers) are described as the
Bride of Christ.
Women carry the awesome privilege of depicting the appearance,
attitude and actions of the body of Christ. So when we approach these passages
let’s approach them with this in mind. The reason Paul stresses the importance
of the role of women is because they serve as a picture of the church. Likewise
you can draw a spiritual parallel to each of the instructions God, through Paul
gives to the women.
We
are called to be the glorious Church without spot or wrinkle.
When He returns
to take us to heaven what will we be doing?
Is there unconfessed sin in your life that leaves your robes stained?
If Christ returned this very night
would you be ready?
