An Epidemic Of Belittling And Ridicule – Time To Stop!

Female and Made in My Father’s Image
So let’s be clear: We need not refer to God as female to understand that women are fully made in God’s image.

Now we pray and ask God to show us how he can apply his truth to the specifics of our lives and times; we continue to meditate on the text, looking for immediate application, and still trusting that God will use our deep contemplation to give us insights into his Word.
