The Beauty and Behavior of a Godly Woman - John Piper 

I'm an X-stripper, X-gay - - I live in Portland Or and I'm like most Millennials who use social media excessively, are vain, sick and morally deprived. But I have been born again but I still don't feel worthy of heaven. At first I didn't understand why I had to let go of so many things that I loved - but now I'm understanding that I don't know what anything is. Not the sun or the moon or even the sky. Let alone a life worth living. Not truly. I'm starting to see what a woman is meant to be. Holy and sacred. Worthy to be in the presence of the almighty king. I'm starting to desire more and more of Gods approval, I want to do him right. I want to see what it actually means to be a woman. A holy woman and I'm starting to see in my future what that could look like if I'm lucky enough to live that long to get rid of my sins and horrible habits. The idea of being a holy woman is getting stuck in my head in the best way❤️

I just wish more women understood that submission to the Lord and therefore your husband is the key to that happy and fulfilling marriage that they desire. If you're a rebellious wife and then turn to be a submissive wife, just watch how your husband naturally treats you better and better, all while knowing that the purpose and the glory is for God. Your cup shall runneth over.

This is very controversial. My fiancé and I talk about it a lot. We came to a hypothesis. The natural manifestation of the need for submission to male leadership in a couple is menstrual cycle. It does destabilise women's capacity to function on uninterrupted rationality throughout month (year, lifetime) - due to quite severe mood swings that have hormonal causes. Women are more neurotic, overall. I often witness my own irrationality and while discussing intellectual matters with him; I can be very easily swayed by strange motivations and emotions. I can't switch off my feelings. He can. Generally I find him much more emotionally stable, the complexity of woman's character are uncanny.

I love this and I appreciate your openness. Thank you for this sir!

Teaching wives to be submissive to husbands isn’t wrong just as we men also submit to our wives out of love for Jesus.

Amen Hallelujah!!!!! Then the Lord God says " it is not good for man to be alone , I will make him a helper suitable for him ..Genesis 2 : 18. She open her mouth in wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is in her tongue . Charm is decietful and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised. Proverbs 31 : 26 + 30 1 Timothy 2 : 9 - 10 Eph 5 : 22 - 33 May God be glorified in our lives, as we seek His Kingdom first, and all these things will be added unto you. Matt 6 : 33 Thanks for sharing

I think that scripture is about starting to act more like a Christian woman before worrying about dressing like one.

Thank-you Thank you Thank you for sharing!!!!! Amen and Amen!!!!

Absolutely love this... teaching God Bless

Unless he ask me to sin? Well Abraham ask Sarah to lie.

Preacher... it appears you are contradicting the very verses you are citing herein. “The power comes from within, from the heart.” No, it clearly says it comes from yahuwah almighty fore beyond her husband in calm, quiet submission. Again, there are several scriptural witnesses to this throughout the Bible. Anyone can search this out. A powerful woman is firewood.

“Try the word serine or tranquil.” Uhm, what is the Greek word that is being used preacher? Why do t we examine that rather than teach people to comfortably change scripture as they read? You should be more careful in your teaching.

I love you I will always forgive you k I'm alone Miss you a message d the kids. I'm a great man I'm a believer of God and good man and my faith is great I claim victory in are marriage and family. Never left you your name is a lie Maiden means unmarried young woman especially young lady.just saying u have to be guinine.

Good sermon but I don't think messages like these are recieved as well bring preached by a man.

"Saved through Idolatry" "That I may take the house of Israel in their own heart, because they are all estranged from me through their idols." Jesus is the most popular name on the planet earth. Like it or not, it is fact. There is a tragedy in this fact. What's the tragedy. Well, it is because Jesus is literally, the word of GOD. This view is called the Christ myth theory. It has many forms, all rejected by the established church. I am going to be arguing for it, that is, the none existence of a physical human body of Jesus, but rather personification gone terrible "wrong," and the most shocking part is GOD wanted it this want. It was by designed that a human being be equated with GOD and everybody believe in that person, and a road to GOD himself. This is not saying that Jesus does not exist, rather that Jesus is the word of GOD, and therefore, everything that is written of the saving power of Jesus is true-that way, the truth, and the life. Personification is a risky form of story telling because of the very reason that exist today (basically the worship of an idol). If you do not believe this is true. Listen to John Piper: "In heaven we will be celebrating slaughter." This is the most shocking thing I had ever heard when I heard it. Everybody wonders what will happen in heaven, what will we be doing all day long. That's John's Piper answer, and what's more, the celebration did not wait until then, but rather it starts on December 25 and continue throughout the whole year, and less and less degrees of attention. If you believe a personification to be a telling of a true physical story, had you been deceived or have you deceived yourself. Before I gave my arguments to why I believe that Jesus is the personification of the word of GOD, tell me address a issue that seems to be far more serious, why DO allow this idolatry? For if what I saying is true, then human beings have created an idol for themselves and together bow down and worship it, and there is nothing that makes GOD more angry than this. To explain this, I will go to a parable of Jesus. "And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!" Far more important to GOD than how a person come to know him is THAT a person come to know him. The reason HOW is not important to GOD is two folds, first, the HOW is pretty much the same for everyone that every existed. "They are all estranged from me through their idols." Idolatry is a worldwide, human wide issue that can never be resolved. Idolatry is the source of all sin and Idolatry can simply be understood as a love for physical things. No matter how christian someone is, there is no one that does not love physical things, or a certain physical thing (temporal thing). Think about Jonah, and all the terrible thing we went through, but at the end of the story, we found out that we loved a plant more than a whole city of city of people, and if he had his choice between the destruction of a whole city and the destruction of a plant, he would choose the city. That very image is the heart of men, all men, and that is their permanent state. However, human beings can show mercy towards one another, and that comes by fear of GOD. GOD is more interested in mercy than any theology or any median of belief. The gospels, and particularly the new testament story of Jesus on the cross have introduced more people to GOD than any other story. The new testament is preached more than any other story and Jesus is more popular than any other person. In final thought towards why GOD would allow this if it were true. First of all, it is important to remember that if Jesus is indeed that personification of the word of GOD, than it is true that "he" is the only way to salvation, and so, if it is true that this started as a personification, than GOD, even knowing what it would become, would certainty had not be angry with the work. Second, we should say the question, is 1 percent, or zero person, better than 99 percent? That is, is it better to know SOMETHING about GOD, than to know nothing about him at all. To answer this question, let's ask the question, is there anybody that knows GOD 100 percent? The answer to this is no, according to the bible at least (there is no one that understands). Now, let's ask the question, are there people that know some things about GOD and people that do not know as much? The answer is obviously yes. Christian today are funny, they believe that are save by theology. Now some may object, NO! we are saved by faith! I'll ask, faith in what? They will say, well faith in Jesus, that is is the son of GOD and that we rose from the dead. So, it is not just faith in anything, but faith in a theology, a set of beliefs. Again, they will say, no! Jesus is a person, we believe in the person of Jesus and that is what saves us, Jesus is not a theology but a person. Than I would say, how about the Mormons or the J-witness, they believe in the person of Jesus also, do they no. They will say here again, NO! They believe in a Jesus they say is Jesus, they do not believe in the real Jesus. The real Jesus has a set of theological teachings or positions, and to be save, you must believe in the particular Jesus that has a particular set of theological positions. So, see we are NOT saved by theology but a particular person with a particular set of theology. Then I will ask finally, what percentage of Jesus theology do you have to KNOW and believe to be saved. For how can you believe something you do not know? Therefore, to believe the "real Jesus" you must know him, or who what he teach, know his theology. So the question remains, what percentage of Jesus theology must you know. Well, if you believe Jesus is GOD than you must believe that there is no man that understands him, and therefore, there is no man that has 100 percent correct Jesus theology, and therefore 100 percent is not the criteria, but something less than that. In other words, you must AT LEAST believe X, where X stands for "Jesus is a son of GOD, he was really a human being, he lived and was put to death, and he came back from the death and is going to the father and coming back for those who believe." If you believe X, although you do not understand Jesus completely you will be saved. But no, we are not saved by theology. In any case, that was a little side bar, the question we were taking beforehand was, is it better to know 99 percent than to know 1 percent, or to know one percent than to know zero percent? "And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!" Obviously the hired servant does know know everything that goes on in the father's business but even he gets to eat, and of course the food here refers rather to fellowship(to wisdom) for you cannot fellowship with someone you do not know or have enter spoken to. GOD exist everywhere, but no everyone has knowledge of him nor fellowship with him and since this is the greatest source of wealth, that means that some people are hunger for the word of GOD and others eat everyday and are full to the top. The son that went away from the father is saying here that it is better to be even that person in the back row of the church, even if you are not the pastor, the priest or the prophet, rather just being there is a blessing. Since I believe that Jesus is a personification of the word of GOD, and not really a human person, I get bothered when I hear about the story spoken about in a manner like it is, however, there is two problem wrong with is "first son that stayed at home with the father disposition." The first is, if it were not for Jesus, the actually story, I may not have even every visited a church, because Christian missionaries came to my mother with the gospels back in Liberia, and on it went. Second, I am angry over theology, just like those who I accused. And lastly, does it matter how someone got in a church, or that they get there in the first place and that GOD brought them there? I do not believe we are saved by theology, at least in terms of eternal salvation, rather, I believe we are save by GOD, and he does so in whatever means necessary. That does not mean I do not believe theology is worth being passionate over, and in fact, I believe theology is the most important subject of human inquiry because it related directly to mercy, we know mercy towards one another is the goal of GOD, the mission. Theology is a study of WHO GOD is, and because we know GOD is the author of mercy and the greatest example of mercy, If we could only know who GOD is, we could know how to be merciful or what it means to be merciful. This is why this issue of whether Jesus existed as a human being is so important to me, and I thought it was worth writing about. If it does matter how we come to GOD, why does it even matter to me, I know it matter to most Christians or at least they say it does, but there are some that will attack me, at least, I hope, only spiritual and intellectually on this issue. So why is it important. The reason I believe it is important, is because the reason the story in my opinion went from personification to a full blown real life story is one that reveals a great deal about man's own heart. First, let us look at what a real salvation story look it. Plead with your mother, plead: for she is not my wife, neither am I her husband: let her therefore put away her whoredoms out of her sight, and her adulteries from between her breasts; 3Lest I strip her naked, and set her as in the day that she was born, and make her as a wilderness, and set her like a dry land, and slay her with thirst. 4And I will not have mercy upon her children; for they be the children of whoredoms. 5For their mother hath played the harlot: she that conceived them hath done shamefully: for she said, I will go after my lovers, that

Guess? What ever happened to finding two or more witnesses in scripture, ie, the prophets, the apostles, or the Torah? All have clear answers. There is no need to guess! Present what the father and the son said in the spirit to the forerunners. Why guess? It’s a big book, trust and believe the answers are there. Not in your guess mr preacher man.

“Holy women.” Jezebel was an “holy woman” in her own eyes... it appears you are instilling faith in womanhood.

rubbish!

“Try the word serine or tranquil.” Uhm, what is the Greek word that is being used preacher? Why do t we examine that rather than teach people to comfortably change scripture as they read? You should be more careful in you teaching.
