Oh my goodness. A woman declaring the gospel of Jesus Christ is somehow going to put “lives at risk”????? Do they know how ridiculous they sound. Lives are at risk, and that is why men and women must continue in the work of our Lord Jesus Christ. God blessings on His sons and daughters who have answered the call to make disciples.

Hi Cheryl. Thanks so much for the work you have done on the issues with women in ministry and marriage. This is my first time here at “strive to enter” and it has been a great help to me, for I have experienced the hindrances and opposition toward me for encouraging others to walk in the ways of the Lord simply because I am a woman. The Lord has strengthened me throughout the years and given me grace to respond in love, knowing that His sons and daughters will prophesy. The prejudice still hurts at times, but He gives His balm and joy. I have a question though. Have you ever thought about doing an article on the comment that Paul makes about the “man being the glory of God, but the woman is the glory of man”? From my understanding of creation Adam is not the glory of the dust, but he is the glory of his Creator; Eve is not the glory of a rib, but the glory of her Creator. Thanks again
