Help End Women's Suffering - 0 views

  •  
    In many Asian cultures, it is wrong for a woman to interact with a man who is not her husband. That is why women missionaries are the perfect solution! Listen to their testimonies, see their passion and join them as they help end the suffering of thousands of women in Asia.

How To Date any Girl You Want | buzitnow - 0 views

  •  
    What do women want? This is a question that has baffled men since the beginning of time and we men are no closer to understanding women than we were when we huddled around an open fire every night and lived in caves. Why are women so hard to decipher? Simply because we try to understand them from a man's point of view without understanding the basic premise that women think differently from men. In fact, women have completely different wiring than men and we will never be able to understand them on a logical level, which is how we approach most everything.

The Woman's Headcovering - 0 views

  • the headcovering practiced in the churches is emblematic of womanly submission; and he also indicates that this is a symbol which even the angels (who are not subject to changing fashions) take a real interest in. So the practice cannot be dismissed as being merely cultural
  • when we consider that the bare-headed fashion of our times came into vogue at the same time that the "women's liberation" movement began, along with the wearing of pants and the cutting of hair, we ought to pause before we say that these things are really so devoid of symbolism in the culture at large
  • Paul provides a rationale which is based on an appeal to creation, not to the custom of Corinthian harlots. We must be careful not to let our zeal for knowledge of the culture obscure what is actually said. To subordinate Paul's stated reason to our speculatively conceived reason is to slander the apostle and turn exegesis into eisogesis.

  • I do not think it is safe to assume that, despite his arguments, Paul's real intention is merely to affirm and interpret the fashions of his day (especially in Corinth) or that he would affirm in like manner the fashions of modern women if he were writing the letter today. Rather, it seems that Paul wants Christian women to observe a churchly tradition, irrespective of what happens to be in vogue outside the church. (20) Are we really honoring Scripture if we say that, despite its conspicuous absence in the passage, the counsel of cultural conformity is the real and unspoken motive for the ordinance?
  • It often becomes difficult for me to hear and understand what the Bible is saying because I bring to it a host of extra-biblical assumptions. This is probably the biggest problem of "cultural conditioning" we face. No one of us ever totally escapes being a child of our age ... I am convinced that the problem of the influence of the twentieth-century secular mindset is a far more formidable obstacle to accurate biblical interpretation than is the problem of the conditioning of ancient culture.

      Zing!
  • Fashions of women's dress have changed and will continue to change, but Paul in this passage has explained very carefully that the headcovering symbolizes something which does not change.
  • How are we to apply this rule to ourselves as Christians in the twenty-first century? The whole passage has been treated with some uneasiness in recent times. Since about 1960, not only have hats and scarves gone out of fashion for women in Western nations, but it has become "politically incorrect" to even suggest that women ought to submit to male authority. The very idea that women should be required to wear headcoverings as a sign of their subordination is almost intolerable in the modern context.
  • After a few paragraphs Sproul goes on to say, "What if, after careful consideration of a biblical mandate, we remain uncertain as to its character as principle or custom? If we must decide to treat it one way or the other but have no conclusive means to make the decision, what can we do? Here the biblical principle of humility can be helpful. The issue is simple. Would it be better to treat a possible custom as a principle and be guilty of being overscrupulous in our design to obey God? Or would it be better to treat a possible principle as a custom and be guilty of being unscrupulous in demoting a transcendent requirement of God to the level of a mere human convention? I hope the answer is obvious."
  • We should not be asking how much we are allowed to ignore the literal instructions of this passage or any other passage of Scripture so long as we claim to be observing the "spirit." We should be asking how we may best obey it both in spirit and in the letter.
  • Symbols have a powerful effect on our lives, and it is not safe to treat them with contempt, especially when the symbol in question has been appointed in Scripture itself.
  •  
    I happened to be listening to 1 Cor this morning and it stuck me again that the argument for women wearing a head covering doesn't come from the culture, but is a physical manifestation of a spiritual submission.  Paul spoke strongly on the matter.  I did a little more looking, and the argument presented here is well laid out, with man salient points (especially Sproul's comments).

One of The Best Ways to Attract Women and Have Them Pursue You - relaationship - 0 views

  •  
    Movies and friends have led us to believe that if you are interested in a girl, you must pursue her desperately, take her to expensive dinners, buy her things and spend tons of money to impress her. to interest him in you. Of course, this could work on a gold digger who just wants your money. But that's not the way to attract the "perfect" girl.

WEIGHT LOSS MEAL PLAN FOR WOMEN | buzitnow - 0 views

    This program is going to feel different to anything else you may have tried. You get to eat lots of yummy foods. Everything we eat during this plan has the aim of increasing energy and vitality and not leaving you feeling hungry, deprived and craving more food. The majority of us eat a lot of processed quick-fix foods on a regular basis. When we eat like this we often need, pills, supplements, and loads of caffeine just to get us through the day. This is not great for our short or long term health and it makes us sick. Eating lots of

I thought all women were the same - relaationship - 0 views

  •  
    I started talking to a woman who was a few years older than me on an online dating site and very quickly she called me. Since we had not spoken for a very long time, it surprised me, and what surprised me was that she opened up on her own story. It was something that happened in early 2012, and it soon became clear that it was someone who had a difficult childhood. At that time, she said that she did not know why she was telling me all that.

How to Give Your Wardrobe a Makeover on a Budget | buzitnow - 0 views

  •  
    There's the cliché of young women looking in their closet in the morning or before they go out and bemoaning that they have nothing to wear. But seriously, it happens! However, if you find yourself unimpressed with your clothing choices every day, it might be time for a wardrobe makeover. One problem - where do you get the money it takes to restock an entire wardrobe? Another cliché is the broke college student. But again-that's actually a real thing. So finding the funds for a mega shopping spree (especially without giving up Sunday brunch with the girls and late night Dominos) can be tricky. The hard truth? You probably won't just stumble upon a couple thousand bucks, so you have to get a little creative.
