We are in the midst of an unprecedented cultural revolution in the United States. We are discussing many things now that never would have been dreamed of even thirty years ago. One of the big issues in the revolution is egalitarianism for sexes. Women have more rights now than ever before. Our society has moved in the right direction in this case: at this point in history women have the right to vote, own property, hold top positions in companies, serve on the front lines in the military and a host of other privileges long denied them. Here is where things will get interesting in the next few years: What is the church to do about this? The Bible declares that there are roles that only men are to fill. Will the church remain faithful to the teaching of the Bible, or will we yield to the demands of culture? The answer is both. Those who understand that the Bible is not the opinions of men from 2,000+ years ago, but rather the directives of God (2 Peter 1:20-21), will stand firm on the truth. However unpopular it may be with the current culture, faithful Christians will stand firmly upon Bible teachings. On the other hand, those who believe that truth is relative will readily compromise and go with the flow of the culture around them. The time has come for us to make big decisions. The question is whom do you serve – Christ or culture?
