Colossians 3:17Colossians 3:13

“Under Jewish law a woman was a thing; she was the possession of her husband, just as much as his house or his flocks or his material goods were. She had no legal right whatever. For instance, under Jewish law, a husband could divorce his wife for any cause, while a wife had no rights whatever in the initiation of divorce. In Greek society a respectable woman lived a life of entire seclusion. She never appeared on the streets alone, not even to go marketing. She lived in the women’s apartments and did not join her menfolk even for meals. From her there was demanded a complete servitude and chastity; but her husband could go out as much as he chose, and could enter into as many relationships outside marriage as he liked and incur no stigma. Both under Jewish and under Greek laws and custom, all the privileges belonged to the husband, and all the duties to the wife.”

William Barclay

“It does not matter whether the intelligent woman on this campus are liberal feminist or conservative traditionalist – if you can get them to talk honestly about their deepest concerns, most will say they still wonder if their choices are right. Deep down they are desperate for a credible authority to tell them what they are supposed to be.”

Hal Farnsworth, Minister at Vanderbilt University

“No finer, greater gift in the world than that, when man and woman posses their home, two minds, two hearts that work as one. Despair to their enemies, joy to all their friends. Their own best claim to glory.”
