A Chosen Portion take
One pastoral note on women
Women does not usually get cleaner by being studied harder. The temptation is to turn Scripture into a coping strategy — to pick a verse, repeat it like a charm, and hope the feeling loosens.
Christ meets the need underneath that. He does not hand you a theology of women so you can win an argument with yourself. He gives himself. Let Proverbs 31:25 stay with you today, and let him keep company with whatever rose to the surface while you read.
