52 Charis,

“They sound like mean, unchristian bullies, but they are really afraid. Afraid of losing control/power.”

I believe you are right. Sometimes people speak the loudest when they are the most afraid. When who make it their business to stop women from using their God-given gifts for the benefit of the entire body of Christ often are just protecting their own position. There is great fear that they are hiding.

I am a very gentle person by nature and for Matt to claim that I personally am tearing the church apart because I have produced a very persuasive video series on the women’s issue, just shows his own insecurities. If the work was my own human effort, I can guarantee you I would be ineffective. Rather in my weakness the Lord is strong.
