The Value of Women in the Mission of the Church
In the Spring 2023 Sovereign Grace Journal article, The Value of Women in the Mission of the Church, Jace Hudson, Lead Pastor, Covenant of Grace Church (Copley, OH), holds out a biblical vision of manhood and womanhood, equally made in his image, and positions us to honor the equality and value of women in the highest way possible.
While Scripture clearly teaches that God has given men the responsibility to lead in the home and church, this does not mean that in all other matters men and women are interchangeable. They are not. To assume so is a very egalitarian idea.
The project of egalitarianism has been to file down the uniqueness of the sexes. Equality for all has become equality of all. Our culture argues that men and women are equal in worth and in every other way. Women can go to war while men stay home and raise the kids. The two sexes are interchangeable. But think about that. If men and women are interchangeable, neither is indispensable. Said another way, if the two are interchangeable, either is dispensable.
This is where egalitarianism leads, but complementarianism goes somewhere altogether different.
