Deborah, the judge

Barbara Jean White

A woman judge? A woman hasn't the intelligence to be a judge! She needs a man to make decisions for her. How can a woman determine right actions for others? A man wields the scepter of authority. If you believe this, learn from the story of Deborah in the fourth and fifth chapters of Judges in the Bible.

Deborah, the Bible shows us, was a judge uninfluenced by many of the false concepts of womanhood. She felt free to do God's will, unhindered by doubt or a limited sense of her capability as a woman.
