True Woman

Today was the last day for the Women's Bible Study this semester (and AWANA too) and I'm so sad it had came to an end. Not only was it a life changing study, but I've also had a opportunity to build new friendships. Even though we're all in such different seasons of life, the Lord has weaved our hearts together. These ladies welcomed me with open arms and I've truly felt their love. They've allowed me to be transparent without judgement and I SO appreciate that.

True Woman Manifesto is one of the things that we studied and it's a personal and corporate declaration of belief, consecration, and prayerful intent - to the end that Christ may be exalted and the glory and redeeming love of God may be displayed throughout the whole earth.
  • We believe that God is the sovereign Lord of the universe and the Creator of life, and that all created things exist for His pleasure and to bring Him glory.

  • We believe that the creation of humanity as male and female was a purposeful and magnificent part of God's wise plan, and that men and women were designed to reflect the image of God in complementary and distinct ways.

  • We believe that sin has separated every human being from God and made us incapable of reflecting His image as we were created to do. Our only hope for restoration and salvation is found in repenting of our sin and trusting in Christ who lived a sinless life, died in our place, and was raised from the dead.

  • We realize that we live in a culture that does not recognize God's right to rule, does not accept Scripture as the pattern for life, and is experiencing the consequences of abandoning God's design for men and women.

  • We believe that Christ is redeeming this sinful world and making all things new, and that His followers are called to share in His redemptive purposes as they seek, by God's empowerment, to transform every aspect of human life that has been marred and ruined by sin.
