“I don’t want women to be in the Word because they think there’s some angel in heaven with a star chart who’s keeping track of their progress. I want them to be in the Word because there is a joy of knowing Christ that you just simply can’t explain other than to say he has such depths to be uncovered that we will spend all eternity knowing him more.” — Melissa Kruger
This month’s memory verse: “Because we loved you so much, we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God but our lives as well.” — 1 Thessalonians 2:8b
