What Exactly Does 1 Timothy 2:12 Teach?

How To Turn A Clique Inside Out
“Cliques. They’re awful, aren’t they? We love to hate them (probably because we feel like they hate us).

…the danger of thriftiness is that it can easily tip into stinginess. (Of course, in the same way, free spending can tip into a profligacy.) We can elevate the joy of finding an item at a low cost, while overlooking that this low cost may necessitate low quality.
Our perverse mistake is that we demand that God shall explain Himself at every step, instead of waiting for Him to unfold His intricate purposes at His own time and in His own way.
—Theodore Cuyler
