This is the scripture that started this thread.."The Lord gives the word [of power]; the women who bear and publish [the news] are a great host".-
Psalm 68:11, Amplified Bible
The great British preacher Charles Spurgeon once told a story about a Hindu woman who said to a missionary "Surely your Bible was written by a woman." When the missionary asked why, the woman replied "Because it says so many kind things for women (1)." Throughout the Bible, we see a number of godly women who were mightily used of God. For example, one of Israel's greatest military leaders was a woman named Deborah (
Judges 4 & 5). The dramatic story of Queen Esther, told in the Book that bears her name, shows how this great woman protected the Jewish people from certain destruction.
Proverbs 31 is a beautiful and liberating portrait of the godly woman. In fact, you could easily say that the first evangelistic message ever preached was by women, as they were the first to report that Jesus had risen from the dead (
Luke 24: 9-10).
I really don't think any Godly lady is concerned about ruling...she is concerned about serving...
