Day One: Voices of the True Woman Movement

John Piper purports that “wimpy theology makes wimpy women” (17). I had to chew on this one, and while he chose share stories of those who had suffered privations or death for the cause of Christ or who had stood firm amidst life-altering difficulties, my attention has been riveted on more mundane issues – is my theology, i.e. my view of God big enough to give me the power to overcome sin? We give into sin all too easily, because our God is too small – He is insufficient, at least from our vantage point. As a result, we seek to excuse our sin, indulge our appetites, and worship at the altar of self. Godly Christians require a theology that is rooted in a thorough knowledge of Scripture and a burning passion for the glory of God.
