On “Honouring Women” he had quite a lot to say
Our experiences provide a lens through which we view
in the same way, our intentions can be misinterpreted too
To talk of honour, we must also consider submission
In the Old Testament, there were laws and permission
But we are no longer under the law, per Galatians three
For we are “all one in Christ Jesus” we can clearly see
To God, we now all have complete and open access
In that we are all equal so nobody is worth any less
Of course there are differences we can not ignore
But we should only care in cases God would honour
Still having different toilets for women and men
Is very different than segregated ones back then
In other words, if a difference we choose to highlight
It needs to be to honour others, by doing things right
A careful reading of Genesis one verse twenty seven
Says both man and woman came from God in heaven
Since in His image both sexes were actually created
The obvious differences should not be underestimated
For if the intention was that all humans were the same
There would be no need for individuals, or even a name
1 Peter three refers to woman as the “weaker vessel”
This is obviously true physically, Pastor Josh did tell
The passage says that God will answer a man’s petition
If the man honours his wife without any precondition
Josh said that women tend to be more perceptive
That shows in how men and women tend to live
God intended for us all to exist in partnerships
Genesis three tells of the first of man’s many slips
Covenants are serious, per Malachi chapter two
Marriage is a sacred covenant, that is not new
In terms of how man should honour woman therefore
Josh focused on two important points, nothing more
Man should not rebuke, per 1 Timothy chapter five
With purity, he should view all woman while alive
And per Ephesians four, speak all things in love
For we all belong to the body of Christ from above
