    Will The Real Proverbs 31 Woman Please Stand Up Series

    Contributed by Mark Gomez on Jul 11, 2012

    Getting away from the creation of an impossible woman, in this study we discover that the woman in Proverbs 31 is real and she is everywhere. She is not beyond reach for other women and she is not meant to be a threatening creature.

    The Proverbs 31 woman can be a threatening and foreboding creature. Perhaps that is why so many women have attacked and denied her reality (rejection). Perhaps that is why so many men have held her up as some standard by which all women should be measured (oppression). But the reality is that she ...read more

    After healing the demoniac, Jesus sent the demons into the pigs who ran into the sea and drown. Those who watched seem more concerned about the pigs than about the healing of this man. A microcosm of today????
