Don,

I hear what you are saying. That is the reason why I try hard to keep my comments respectful. I understand that many have not yet gone past mere tradition and understood the full freedom of women in using their gifts for the entire body of Christ. It, of course, is not a message to be restricted because not everyone is on the same page yet. But in consideration of our brothers in Christ who have a tender conscience and who have not yet realized that it is tradition that they are following instead of God’s word, we do try to keep the message surrounded by a loving attitude. It is in this environment that some will be open to learn. Others will never be open and these people I will never be able to reach. They are in God’s hands and perhaps somewhere else they will hear what they need to hear to allow the body of Christ to function in exactly the way God intended.
