In the same way, knowledgeable, influential, and capable women in certain Christian circles are treated like a threat to insecure men.

I encourage all young men and women to liberate yourself from any would-be thought leader, gluttoned on their delusions of grandeur and sense of self-importance at the center of some imagined reformation, who would hold you back from investigating the full truth of such matters as racism, the Lost Cause myth, women's rights, equality, a career, and any other disapproved education in which you may be interested. Rebel against their self-professed authority on such matters. Tell them to take a hike, you'll follow what you want to read beyond your primary studies.

John MacArthur was my father's favorite preacher. My dad, a retired Baptist preacher, used to order his sermon tapes, and I remember listening to MacArthur in the car with him. It was usually either MacArthur or the Eagles.

All other factors being equal, why is it that we often choose to advocate for the rich and powerful against the weak and vulnerable? I often hear that we can't assume that David is a rapist, but why is it considered normal to assume that Bathsheba was an adulterous harlot? Brothers and sisters, all other factors aren't equal in this story.

IGTBAM offers a choice between patriarchy and impotence. But that is a false dichotomy. What does our world, characterized by moral relativism and gender fluidity need? I would suggest less focus on men developing gravitas through what the authors imagine is masculine dominion.

Not only does Jesus ask this young man to give up all of his money; He asks him to consider himself and all his position, standing, reputation, power, education, and breeding as dung.
