Application
- Women and men are equally valuable to the mission and health of the church!
- Women are not less valuable if they do not hold ordained office.
- Both men and women should seek to embrace and excel in the roles assigned by God.
- Warning. If we lose the God-ordained differences between man and woman, we dishonor God, and we lose the gospel purpose of marriage!
