  • But the woman was determined to make herself the victim, and me the abuser and victimizer. So finally I asked her, rather quietly, if her anger and hurt sprang from what I said, or from what God says in Scripture. Was she angry with me, or with God?

But if I tremble before the Word of God, I will not duck what it has to say just because it is culturally uncomfortable.
