The World's Way

I found the following article an excellent discussion on how the Feminist movement has progressed, and how it has also crept into general Christian thought and lifestyle. Also very thought provoking were the comments that followed.

Let us always keep in mind Romans 12:2 "Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will." How does one become "transformed by the renewing" of the mind? Not by our own human wisdom and feelings, or the world's designs, but by delving into the Word of God - searching out His desires, His truths, and obeying Him in love and trust. John 14:15 "If you love Me, you will keep My commandments."

This is a quote I really enjoyed from the article:

As a peculiar people (1 Pet 2:9), as aliens (1 Pet 2:11), as strangers in this land (1 Pet 1:1), as pilgrims (Heb 11:13), as people who are called to be separate (1 Pet 2: 9-10) and different from the world in which we live, our lives should look different from the world. People ought to see the differences in how we live and ask, "what is the reason for the hope that is within you?" (1 Pet 3:15) But as John Piper has said, all too often, they aren't asking, because "we look like we're hoping in the same things THEY'RE hoping in!"
