Purpose over Perfection

In this Mother's Day message, Min. Leslie Harris says Proverbs 31:29-31 is a passage which describes a woman who has purpose and is not perfect. Reminding us that a woman of faith is one who is willing to take action, to stand up, to step out and to speak out in desperation because she needs things to change. Women such as Tamar, Rahab and Ruth, ancestors of Jesus, exemplify a woman such as this. Which is also the case for many of the women in Jesus' life, such as his mother Mary, his disciple Mary Magdalene and his friend Mary of Bethany. As Min. Harris explains, each of these women demonstrate how it is possible to live with purpose in her life while at the same time not being perfect.
