The Kingdom of God desperately needs women. Without the women of God functioning in their assignments and positions, the witness of God’s character and nature to the world will be woefully incomplete. Throughout all of history, women have faced an unprecedented oppression, stemming from the curse. The image of headship (a facet of God’s person-hood) which God created to be shown forth in men and women has been marred nearly beyond recognition (I’m writing more on that subject, will I’ll hopefully be posting soon). In it’s place, we’ve seen women stripped of their dignity and treated as property. Doubtless the enemy has tried to use this pattern of oppression to attempt to thwart the women of God throughout the ages – yet God is bigger. Despite the hurdles, we see throughout history and throughout the Bible women of God who helped turn the tide on many levels.
Now, women today are facing yet another battle. Not only are women still met with systemic oppression in many nations of the earth, but there is another line of attack seeking to undermine the women of God. And, it’s coming from the secular feminist movements.
