Series: How to Demon Proof Your Life

Scripture: Selected
INTRODUCTION:
Barbara Walters of ABC's 20/20 did a story on gender roles in Kabul, Afghanistan several years before the current Afghan conflict.

I promised to attempt to answer that question in part II of the message and part II of the message is today. I'm not going to keep you in suspense. I'm going to tell you my conclusion and spend the rest of the time giving you the reasons why I believe this way and then I'll finish up by acknowledging some of the reasons why I could be ...
