Don't Waste Your Womanhood!

Those of you who read the Desiring God blog will have already seen this posted, but I cannot resist sharing this. Pastor John Piper spoke on "the ultimate meaning of true womanhood" at a woman's conference last fall. It is online in two parts. Can I commend this to you in the strongest way possible? Forget about the pathetic chipped rhinestones that you get from those who spout self-help and self-esteem. Pastor John has carefully selected diamonds for us from God's word (in two convenient sermons at only 24 minutes each! What a deal!) It is so good. You really don't want to miss this.

Part one: The Most Influential People in the World (read / listen)

"Wimpy theology makes wimpy women. I don't like wimpy women. I didn't marry one. With Noel, I'm trying to raise Talitha, who turns 13 on Saturday, not to be one. The opposite of a wimpy woman is not a brash, pushy, loud, controlling, sassy, uppity, arrogant Amazon."

Part two: Don't Waste Your Womanhood (read / listen)

"So whether you are married or single, do not settle for wimpy theology. It's beneath you. God is too great. Christ is too glorious. Womanhood is too strategic. Don't waste it. Your womanhood, your true womanhood was made for the glory of Christ."
