We are Pioneers
Should we be just trying to go back to how things were 200 years ago?
"There were many wonderful, Biblical aspects of American society 200 years ago, due to that society's strong Christian heritage, and there are many lessons to be learned from studying those who came before. There were also mistakes made during those times that we can learn from. We should not aspire to merely duplicate a previous era, but rather to build on its good points and learn from its bad ones. We should identify the legacy in all its richness, then build on it.
"We, in a sense, are also pioneers. We should not try to cling to a bygone era--rather, we should try to build something new, something greater and more Biblical than has ever been seen in any society. And we must never underestimate the power women have to influence whole societies in this way. But in order to have this kind of influence, we must be women. Not men. This is where we find the mysterious feminine power that God gives us."
