This post, not sent to your email, shares some biblical reflections excised from today’s published newsletter cut to keep down the word count. I believe it is important stuff, but for a Reformation Day post I wanted to focus on the heart of the matter: listening to the voices of women proclaiming that the body of Christ is absent and empty.
Thanks for reading and for your kind words, Sarah. And thanks for sharing your work on legalism. I’m adding some comments here as I’m not familiar with commenting on blogspot. This line, wow: “ he great commission is a gateway into legalism: God commands me to command you, and this is my ministry.” Reminds me of the prevalent use and abuse of Hebrews 13:17, “ Obey your leaders and submit to them.” I love your revision: “The great commission is a gateway: to discovering our freedoms in Christ.” Amen!
What an amazing time, in church history, to be alive. I'm so glad I found you, Aaron Hann. Your words are a gift to the church. Thank you.
One of the things I write about is the good & holy law given through Moses is darkness, and Christ is light. The Finer Points of Legalism

Thank you again for writing about these women in John's gospel.
