When King Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey, He launched a revolution of peace:
1 Trusting God—not armies, economies, or spin
2 Lifting the poor—not propping up the powerful
3 Building bridges—not barriers
His kingdom still turns the world upside down.

"Infirmitas consilii" is the false idea that women are too emotional to make sound judgments. In Greco-Roman society, this belief justified restricting their financial rights and barring them from testifying in court. Scripture challenges this notion.
