allthinxchristian

Radical OT Women of the Advent: Sarah

Voices of Color - Christians United (VOCCU)

"By focusing His desire and choice on Sarah, God was establishing that it is He who determines the standards of acceptability and suitability for His purposes and calling and that it is not based on any natural qualification we could ever bring to the table."

Voices of Color - Christians United (VOCCU)

Welcome to Day 6 of Advent!

It’s Eve’s Advent Too!

allthinxchristian

"Eve has been directly hit by patriarchy over and over and even in the face of the fulfillment of the promise, patriarchy refuses to let her go! However, we must proclaim that what Eve waited for has come. Eve is free! Patriarchy no longer has a hold over her story!"

allthinxchristian

"Because too often, the story of redemption has been passed down to us through the voices of the patriarchs (thereby setting the scene for the flourishing of patriarchy) and not through matriarchs and patriarchs (the latter, which would set the tone of mutuality and equality as God intended from the very beginning),..."
