Hot Topics: Feminism/Girl Power
There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
Galatians 3:28 (NKJV)
Go, gather all the Jews who are present in Shushan, and fast for me; neither eat nor drink for three days, night or day. My maids and I will fast likewise. And so I will go to the king, which is against the law; and if I perish, I perish!
Esther 4:16 (NKJV)
Feminism is a movement and lifestyle.
“At its core, feminism is the belief in full social, economic, and political equality for women.” (Britannica)
Shine’s inspiration was Millie Lewis, my mother, and an early feminist (as well as a civil rights pioneer) in the divided South of the 60’s, which continued for the rest of her life.
However, even more unusual was the way she pushed both causes forward: smiles mixed with irrefutable logic, mixed with talent and step-forward courage.
E-v-e-n-t-u-a-l-l-y… Hollywood embraced the feminist path, supporting girl-power in every field.
Actors, models, and talent for Christ:
God is an equal-opportunity employer. His Word features lots of lady-heroes. Occasionally, they “upstaged” the men, but more often, they worked and walked with them.
Men (as you know), genuinely strong men aren’t threatened by the tough girls around them, because they know all power comes from God.
Ladies, I urge you to never back down from the calling God has put on your life– but when you can, do what my mother did:
Smile and walk forward with gracious courage… not stepping on others in the process.

NOTE: God is my Ghostwriter. If what I write is good, it’s from God! We’re all called to be actors (action stars) for Jesus. We’re all called to be models of Jesus. We all have gifts, talents, and a commission to multiply them in the world for His glory.
P.S. NO DEVOTION, PREACHER, or SERMON… can begin to replace personal time in the Bible. I wholeheartedly and clear-headedly recommend DAILY BIBLE READING.
WARNING: Don’t focus on your favorite verses, because taken out of context, they’re often misinterpreted. I plead with you to READ AT LEAST 1 BIBLE CHAPTER DAILY. How long does it take? An average of 5 to 10 minutes!
