Default Re: A Woman of Chayil: Far Above Rubies by Jane Carole Anderson

OBW ,

Fewer lectures and more subject matter please. Thanks.

I do not believe that it is the church's mission to change society. Rather to hasten the One who will establish the kingdom that will reign in righteousness and endure forever. I do not see any substantial evidence in the Bible either. That is not say that we don't participate or engage in worthy goals to change things. Paul did not seek to eliminate slavery yet in Christ Philemon was a brother as was his slave and the human relationship between them was not transferable yet Paul respected it but still tried to arbitrate in the confines of that norm in that day.

There are many injustices in the world and I have and am involved in rectifying those I can influence. Yet, that is not the mission of the church.

Aron's points on behavior are compelling.

Hope that is clearer.

Thanks
Drake
