You do the job he expects you to, or you would be fired.

Are you an American?

Ah, yes, that independent, self-autonomous, rebellious, American spirit that has infiltrated the Church!

I am amazed at the audicity of some that do.

It is no wonder so few women venture into the arena. It is probably harder to have one's feminity attacked then any other thing.

Well said!

We were in a ladies meeting in Lufkin and her daughter came off of the platform and ministered to my daughter telling her things that were right on the mark. She didn't know her from Adam.

I have confidence in people that have a walk with God like that!

Knowing what pocket my car keys are in, gives you confidence in Ministry?

She was in the flesh in both. We all are.

I know a lot of pastor's wives who teach and speak and minister but they remain lady-like. You can even slap the pulpit in a ladylike way maybe? LOL.

You are exactly right about being "a bit more sensitive".

As for slapping the pulpit, since I am a lady, I honestly don't know how to slap it any other way other than lady like. If others view it as "manly" thats their problem, not mine.

Now if I tried jumping up on top of it like Matt Maddix does, THAT would be a different story altogether.

Another thought...I have to wonder about men who like to cook. Since the stereotype is that of women doing the cooking, does that mean that these men are acting "feminine" by doing something they enjoy doing, something that is considered a female thing in general?

My point is, we often fall victim to stereotypes and apostolics are no exception.

I have heard her speak in person several times and was very impressed with her.

I think she is a very anointed woman of God. I was there, she had more content delivered than many men I have sat and listened to.

Her delivery is probably more flamboant than some would like, but it didn't bother me in the least.

I personally perfer someone with a little life in their message.

But hey, that is just me.
