Carolyn McCulley says the gifts and talents God's given you are not about you.

So whatever personalities or gifts that we've been given, we've been given for the furtherance

of the gospel. And we can't be detracted by this message of self-centeredness that comes out that

says, you must make the most of yourself. That's what's at the heart of feminism, egalitarianism,

and other things

that says you must grasp, you must aspire to be like God and make the most of yourself

when we're called to make the most of God.

It's Friday, September 7th, and you're listening to revive our hearts with Nancy Lee DeMoss.

Thank you. to revive our hearts with Nancy Lee DeMoss. This week, Nancy's been talking with friends about feminism and biblical womanhood.

And we're continuing in this conversation with Carolyn McCully and Jennifer Epperson.

Thank you so much to both of you for being willing to pursue a biblical vision of what it means to be a woman.

In the time I've known both of you, I've seen just such a renewing of your minds and your openness and teachable spirit and willingness for God to continue molding your lives. And that's

the kind of woman I want to be. So thanks for sharing with us here on Revive Our Hearts out of your own

personal journey this week. Glad to be able to do it. Most definitely. I was thinking about something

that you were saying yesterday, Nancy, in talking about the power of the gospel,

in talking about our relationships, so often we see other people as being the enemy.

And that would be something that Satan would want us to see.

Satan, who is our real enemy, sin, who is our real enemy, and fleshliness or worldliness,

which is our real enemy.

We have three real enemies,

but we fight against those, not other people. And it's so easy for us to blame shift. And that is

the heart of feminism. It's blame shifting. It's saying you are the reason for my problem.
