The church has always valued and honored “nice girls.” But God is calling women to be dangerous. We will take a quick tour of the Bible and look as some “dangerous women?” A dangerous woman is a woman who shows up with everything she is and joins the battle against whatever opposes the work of God in our world. A dangerous woman lives with passion, energy and dreams. Dangerous women are world changers.
Life is like the wind. It is unfair, unpredictable and frustrating. But we can’t change or control the “wind.” Without God, life is meaningless. Life cannot bring satisfaction. God alone brings meaning. The task of man under the sun is to enjoy the gifts God has given, remember Him, experience how awesome God is, obey and please Him.
It is natural that we will experience good and bad seasons during our lives. God desires that we find the beauty in each season of life, as there is a time for everything according to His sovereign plan.

“I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful. You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. Remain in me, and I will remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.
I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. If anyone does not remain in me, he is like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned. If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be given you. This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.”
John 15:1-8
