Scott is absolutely right. Christians should be very concerned about political authorities using power to shut down speech they don’t like. The best way to oppose lies is our public confession of the truth.
God’s empowerment of women is creating them life-givers. God created women mothers. Some women aren’t given children by God, but they’re still mothers. Mother Teresa.
Don’t be fooled by talk of “empowering women” thru making them prime ministers/judges/governors/police who exercise authority over men. The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world, just as God decreed.
Women are anything but empowered in China where they earn money, but refuse motherhood. Any true empowerment of women in China and Japan and Taiwan and South Korea and Germany and United States would start with dignifying and loving mothers and their motherhood, which would necessarily require saying “no” to the majority of women who despise and denigrate motherhood.
China itself is a dying country because, for many decades, it despised and denigrated motherhood, and killed most of its babies. Now it has no babies. Just old people.
So very sad.
