But, I’m a GOOD Person!
Yesterday, we looked at the wisdom of our culture, “Are Women Morally and Spiritually Superior to Men?” We examined God’s perspective and His holy judgment of ALL people as being evil.

Is Respect Optional for a Godly Woman?
Many women, even in the church, think that the concept of “respect for husbands” is archaic, old fashioned and backwards and that their husbands “don’t deserve respect.” We are not about to show any respect for our men until we believe our men “deserve” it – by our own definition.
