The True Woman website states that they exist to help women…

Discover and embrace God’s created design and mission for their lives
Reflect the beauty and heart of Christ to their world
Intentionally pass on the baton of Truth to the next generation
Pray earnestly for an outpouring of God’s Spirit in their families, churches, nation, and world

IMHO the movement centers around the controversial issue of women’s roles.

I think you will be hearing a lot about this movement soon. Women’s roles is a very hot topic in the church right now and I think we will be seeing a lot of activity on both sides of the issue in the near future.

What does it look like to be a follower of Jesus Christ? What does that mean?

When I get overwhelmed with all the ideas and questions and demands and opinions about what it means to be a Christ follower I go back to the basics…being a good friend.

Here is a quote about friendship…I think it could very well be a quote about Jesus and that it should be a quote about those of us who follow Jesus.

“Oh, the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person; having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but to pour them all out, just as they are, chaff and grain together, knowing that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and then, with a breath of kindness, blow the rest away.” George Elliot

What does being a follower of Christ mean to you?
