Biblical Femininity vs. Modern Feminism

34 minutes

Show Notes:

The cultural push is that there is no difference between men & women. We see distinct differences throughout the bible but there has been a pendulum swing in some circles.

Extremes of feminism & trad wives trends - where is the balance? How have we seen this in culture, in our own lives, and on social media?

Our purpose as women of God is not to fit a specific mold - there is nuance to everything. Our purpose is unique. It depends on your relationship status, living situation, family of origin, etc.

God made all of mankind equal in value but different in personality, purpose, and giftings. (Galatians 3:28 states that “there is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.”)… God made women different than men in a beautiful way - but what does that look like practically?

Proverbs 31 Woman - what is she? This is what she did over her entire lifetime - not at one period of time

Far more precious than jewels - she is invaluable

She is trustworthy

Hardworking

Provides for her household & is selfless

Entrepreneur

Strong

Generous to the poor

Her husband is where he is because of her contributions - teamwork

The great commission is for men & women - we are to make disciples & love others everywhere we go

Our purpose is to love God & love others - not to fit a cultural mold. Women have a purpose & design but our worth is not found in specific action items & a checklist.

‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ The second is this, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.” (Mark 12:30-31)

Where are you falling into “trends”? What unique purpose has God placed on your life?

1 Peter 3:3-4: “Your beauty should not come from outward adornments, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight.”
