TCN's Biblical Journey June 1st

Today's reading is Psalms 68-72

A MIGHTY THRONG (of women preachers?)


Psalms 68:11 “The Lord announces the word, and the women who proclaim it are a mighty throng:”

Okay, whom is it that says women need to be silent? David seems to indicate that the women who proclaim God’s word are a mighty throng, not a small minority. There is no barefoot and pregnant here.


The rest of the song again proclaims God’s power to deliver, but I couldn’t help but point out this verse, written by a man who doesn’t seem to hold the respect for women which we see as the norm for some Christians. If he sees women proclaiming, then maybe we need to also.
