Women's Place

Redeemed by God

Women's place in society has been a much debated subject throughout history.

Sadly, women have been under attack ever since Eve met a stranger in the garden.

We like to to act proud of ourselves in this modern day and claim that we have evolved into a culture that has liberated women.

I hate to break the news to you, but culture has always mistreated women, and God has always liberated them.

We live in a fallen, broken world that is full of the evidence of its sinful nature:

• Men have viewed women's place as property, as second-class citizens, and as unreliable witnesses.


• Church members have distorted the idea of submission to convince victims of domestic violence to stay in their home.


• Three out of ten women will be sexually abused by the time they are 18 years old.

This modern day culture that claims to liberate women has at many times only liberated men to speak more openly about them as objects to lust after.

For some reason, a lot of people today think that liberation for women has something to do with "freeing them" to be vulnerable and intimate with many men.

They call it "sexual revolution." Is it really women who benefit from this line of thinking?

Others see liberation as telling women that they need to have surgery when pregnant in order to achieve equality with men. Another disappointment for the women who were already created equal by God.

I think I'm seeing a pattern here - convenience for men!

The early feminists certainly did not have these low views of women. Learn more about this at www.womendeservebetter.com

The good news is that God's view of women has always been better.

His place for women has always been higher.

We see this at the moment of Eve's creation, when God declares her an ezer, an intimate and essential ally in battle.

We see it in the women of influence in the Old Testament, where God used women for great purposes without consulting men.

We see it in Jesus and the revolutionary way that he treated women while on earth.

We see it in the women of the early church, where apostles who witnessed the ministry of Jesus became the first men to see women as human beings of equal value.

Culture will continue to find new ways to abuse women and call it liberation.

However, God will continue make women's place at the center of his kingdom and at the center of his love.
