John Piper in "Its A Man's World"



Deborah the prophetess under her palm tree judging Israel (painting by Charles Landelle, 1901)


God has given Christianity a masculine feel. And, being a God of love, he has done it for the 

maximum flourishing of men and women. He did not create women to languish, or be 

frustrated, or in any way to suffer, or fall short of full and lasting joy, in a masculine 

Christianity. She is a fellow heir of the grace of life (1 Peter 3:7). From which I infer that the 

fullest flourishing of women and men takes place in churches and families where Christianity 

has this God-ordained, masculine feel. (Address on J.C. Ryle)
