Power Point with Jack Graham | Jack Graham - Hope For The Home | January 4, 2026

♪♪♪
00:00:00.457 --> 00:00:05.295
There is no person that god cannot save!
00:00:05.295 --> 00:00:10.433
There is no promise that god will not keep!
00:00:11.334 --> 00:00:16.372
There is nothing that our god cannot do!
00:00:17.240 --> 00:00:37.427
Living faith in a hostile world is our theme... it's our title.
00:00:38.628 --> 00:00:43.700
And let's remember a few things of what we've learned so far
00:00:43.700 --> 00:00:47.871
From 1 peter. very quickly.
00:00:47.871 --> 00:00:50.273
Key verse is verse 3 which we are told... chapter 1, verse 3,
00:00:50.273 --> 00:00:55.211
That we are "born again unto a living hope by the power of the
00:00:55.211 --> 00:00:59.582
Resurrection...". everything hinges on the resurrection. the
00:00:59.582 --> 00:01:04.621
Promise and the hope of christ is in his resurrection. and
00:01:04.621 --> 00:01:08.992
We're told... we've been learning that we are born again
00:01:08.992 --> 00:01:12.829
Under this living hope. we live in hope because we have a new
00:01:12.829 --> 00:01:17.033
Life in christ, we have been transformed by him.
00:01:17.033 --> 00:01:21.371
Chapter two, we talk about authority and how we relate to
00:01:21.371 --> 00:01:24.874
Authority in our lives. and so with that theme in mind, we
00:01:24.874 --> 00:01:29.279
Come now to the third chapter.
00:01:29.279 --> 00:01:32.849
Peter is delivering a message of hope. though the church and
00:01:32.849 --> 00:01:37.353
Christians in his era were under extreme persecution. the
00:01:37.353 --> 00:01:41.257
Fires of rome were burning against believers.
00:01:41.257 --> 00:01:47.664
And we know that satan is always at work. he is the god
00:01:47.664 --> 00:01:52.368
Of this age. we also live in a hostile environment. no, not as
00:01:52.368 --> 00:01:57.507
Violent, perhaps as the first century at least in this
00:01:57.507 --> 00:01:59.976
Country. we know, we feel the heat of persecution. in fact,
00:01:59.976 --> 00:02:04.080
The scripture says, “all who live godly in jesus christ will
00:02:04.080 --> 00:02:07.317
Suffer persecution.” you will feel the heat, you will feel
00:02:07.317 --> 00:02:11.221
The rush of resistance if you stand for christ, because the
00:02:11.221 --> 00:02:15.758
God of this age, the bible calls satan “the god of this
00:02:15.758 --> 00:02:19.229
Age.” in 1 john 5:19, the scripture says, “the whole
00:02:19.229 --> 00:02:23.333
World lies under the power of the evil one.”
00:02:23.333 --> 00:02:29.305
So, of course, living in this world, we will find hate and
00:02:29.305 --> 00:02:33.843
Hostility. the same... the same crowd that crucified christ...
00:02:33.843 --> 00:02:38.281
The world system that put christ on the cross, will also
00:02:38.281 --> 00:02:41.718
Hate us. jesus said this, "if they hate me, they're going to
00:02:41.718 --> 00:02:45.154
Hate you as well."
00:02:45.154 --> 00:02:47.757
Peter who's the human author of this book 1 peter, himself...
00:02:47.757 --> 00:02:53.630
He once failed the lord miserably, denying him and
00:02:53.630 --> 00:02:59.068
Failing him. but he was transformed by the presence and
00:02:59.068 --> 00:03:02.438
The power of the risen lord. and the holy spirit came upon
00:03:02.438 --> 00:03:07.410
Him and all believers at that point. and this man who was a
00:03:07.410 --> 00:03:11.414
Coward, turned into a courageous witness of the
00:03:11.414 --> 00:03:15.151
Gospel. all the way to the end. he was even, according to extra
00:03:15.151 --> 00:03:20.590
Biblical tradition... and we think this is a good one...
00:03:20.590 --> 00:03:25.495
Crucified upside down because he said i'm not worthy to be
00:03:25.495 --> 00:03:29.866
Crucified in the same way my lord was crucified
00:03:29.866 --> 00:03:34.070
Right side up.
00:03:34.070 --> 00:03:35.605
And so peter writes as a pastor. he writes as an
00:03:35.605 --> 00:03:39.942
Apostle. he doesn't write as a pope, a first pope. there's no
00:03:39.942 --> 00:03:43.146
Such thing as a papacy in the scripture. that comes from
00:03:43.146 --> 00:03:48.484
Man-made religion. peter was not the first pope, and the
00:03:48.484 --> 00:03:52.822
Church is not built upon peter, but upon the rock who is
00:03:52.822 --> 00:03:56.459
Christ. jesus said, "upon this rock..." what rock? the
00:03:56.459 --> 00:04:00.229
Confession that simon peter made, "you are the christ, the
00:04:00.229 --> 00:04:03.232
Son of the living god." and upon that rock, christ himself,
00:04:03.232 --> 00:04:07.103
The church is built.
00:04:07.103 --> 00:04:09.505
Satan and the hordes of hell viciously attack all of us, and
00:04:09.505 --> 00:04:16.045
In keeping with today's message, he attacks the family.
00:04:16.045 --> 00:04:22.151
The title of this message is “hope for the home.” and more
00:04:22.151 --> 00:04:28.324
Specifically, hope for your home. husbands and wives,
00:04:28.324 --> 00:04:36.065
Children and grandchildren. the enemy wants to destroy the very
00:04:36.065 --> 00:04:42.605
Foundation of this institution of marriage that is established
00:04:42.605 --> 00:04:47.443
By god at the very beginning of humankind. so what did satan
00:04:47.443 --> 00:04:52.281
Do? he discredits the home, he divides homes.
00:04:52.281 --> 00:04:57.220
It all started in the garden of eden when the first couple were
00:04:57.220 --> 00:05:01.391
Tempted, and that resulted in disaster when they yielded to
00:05:01.391 --> 00:05:06.462
Satan's depravity and the whole world was plunged into this
00:05:06.462 --> 00:05:10.233
Same depravity. and we see this same thing happening today as
00:05:10.233 --> 00:05:14.704
Satan is attacking our homes, our families, our marriages.
00:05:14.704 --> 00:05:20.443
The very institution itself. every effort you see to
00:05:20.443 --> 00:05:24.414
Redefine marriage, to distort sexual identity, to mutilate
00:05:24.414 --> 00:05:30.787
Children, to normalize homosexual behavior. you know
00:05:30.787 --> 00:05:34.457
Where that's coming from, that's an attack of the enemy
00:05:34.457 --> 00:05:38.094
On the home and the family, children and their parents. and
00:05:38.094 --> 00:05:43.232
The assault within marriage with immorality and adultery
00:05:43.232 --> 00:05:47.770
And fornication and lust and lasciviousness. this all is a
00:05:47.770 --> 00:05:52.175
Part of satan's scheme and strategy to destroy the home.
00:05:52.175 --> 00:06:00.783
In his book learned optimism dr. martin seligman said an
00:06:00.783 --> 00:06:04.787
Insightful statement about today's culture. he said, "one
00:06:04.787 --> 00:06:08.791
Of the reasons so many people are dealing with
00:06:08.791 --> 00:06:11.127
Life-threatening illnesses and deepening depression is that
00:06:11.127 --> 00:06:15.364
One by one we've allowed the institutions that provide
00:06:15.364 --> 00:06:18.835
Common support for us to be assaulted so they are no longer
00:06:18.835 --> 00:06:22.905
In place." he said, "we have lost our faith in god. we no
00:06:22.905 --> 00:06:27.310
Longer believe our nation can provide the support we need or
00:06:27.310 --> 00:06:30.746
The comfort and security we've enjoyed in the past. and our
00:06:30.746 --> 00:06:34.417
Families have also failed. when people face major challenges in
00:06:34.417 --> 00:06:38.821
Life, they look around and find that the common support that
00:06:38.821 --> 00:06:42.558
Has been there in the past has vanished." it's true, isn't it?
00:06:42.558 --> 00:06:48.364
And our families... christian families are caught in the
00:06:48.364 --> 00:06:54.770
Cross-hairs of this battle.
00:06:54.770 --> 00:06:59.408
God has given us a happy home
00:06:59.408 --> 00:07:03.179
And filled our home with hope for the future.
00:07:03.179 --> 00:07:07.416
I'm talking about the home that was established may 22, 1970
00:07:07.416 --> 00:07:15.291
When deb peters from mineral wells, tx and jack graham from
00:07:15.291 --> 00:07:19.061
Ft. worth got married in mineral wells and god
00:07:19.061 --> 00:07:22.365
Established our home and we built it on christ. and now all
00:07:22.365 --> 00:07:25.468
These almost fifty- what's it going to be... 55 years coming
00:07:25.468 --> 00:07:30.540
Up in may... all these years it's certainly not been
00:07:30.540 --> 00:07:33.943
Perfect, but god's been at work in our lives in ways we could
00:07:33.943 --> 00:07:36.946
Have never imagined. and god gave us 3 wonderful children
00:07:36.946 --> 00:07:40.550
And their spouses, and the great 8... great, wonderful
00:07:40.550 --> 00:07:45.922
Grandchildren! so the two are now the sweet sixteen and the
00:07:45.922 --> 00:07:50.092
Great 8. and i can tell you that it is worth it.
00:07:50.092 --> 00:07:54.030
Sometimes young pastors ask me, "if you had it to do..." you
00:07:54.030 --> 00:07:56.699
Know, "what would a young..." "what would an older jack
00:07:56.699 --> 00:07:59.502
Graham (i don't know why they say i'm older) but what would
00:07:59.502 --> 00:08:02.405
An older jack graham say to a younger jack graham?" it's kind
00:08:02.405 --> 00:08:05.908
Of one of those trick questions i'm thinking. but i always... i
00:08:05.908 --> 00:08:09.912
Finally come up with an answer. after all these years, what i
00:08:09.912 --> 00:08:14.383
Would say to young jack graham. it's worth it!
00:08:14.383 --> 00:08:20.389
♪♪♪
00:08:20.389 --> 00:08:28.764
There are some great heroes in the bible. heroes like moses
00:08:29.932 --> 00:08:33.269
And abraham. david. apostles like peter and paul. these are
00:08:33.269 --> 00:08:37.306
Surely heroes of the faith. they were not perfect people,
00:08:37.306 --> 00:08:40.610
But they were greatly used by god. and because they trusted
00:08:40.610 --> 00:08:44.013
Him, god used each one of these in a great, great way. because
00:08:44.013 --> 00:08:48.217
Of their faith.
00:08:48.217 --> 00:08:49.485
Now faith is like a muscle. you either use it or lose it. and
00:08:49.485 --> 00:08:54.390
Becoming a follower of jesus and developing a muscular faith
00:08:54.390 --> 00:08:58.060

00:09:55.051 --> 00:09:59.255
♪♪♪
00:09:59.555 --> 00:10:05.661
And so we have this passage of scripture that peter gives us
00:10:05.661 --> 00:10:10.700
To wives and to husbands. now we're going to read it and i'm
00:10:10.700 --> 00:10:15.204
Going to comment on it, and there are in these seven
00:10:15.204 --> 00:10:21.010
Verses, six verses that have to do with wives and women. and
00:10:21.010 --> 00:10:28.451
Only one to men. now i'm just going to leave it with you to
00:10:28.451 --> 00:10:34.090
Make that what you want to make it. [laughter] i rather think
00:10:34.090 --> 00:10:41.931
That because men are not as smart as women, one verse is
00:10:41.931 --> 00:10:46.902
Enough. just take that one and it's a big one. but there are
00:10:46.902 --> 00:10:51.807
Six magnificent ... magnificent verses given to women.
00:10:51.807 --> 00:10:57.947
I was hearing the other day... talking about women. of course,
00:10:57.947 --> 00:11:01.117
We know that marriage, a man and woman committed to each
00:11:01.117 --> 00:11:06.989
Other in christ for a lifetime... the love of a wife,
00:11:06.989 --> 00:11:11.393
The love of a woman is a joy for every man.
00:11:11.393 --> 00:11:15.498
Nick saban, the famed football coach at alabama, was telling
00:11:15.498 --> 00:11:19.969
That he and his wife, miss terry they call her over in
00:11:19.969 --> 00:11:22.271
Alabama, went to homecoming reunion back in west virginia
00:11:22.271 --> 00:11:25.875
Where he was raised. [clears throat] and, you know, it was
00:11:25.875 --> 00:11:30.346
All about nick. and she was also raised in that area but
00:11:30.346 --> 00:11:33.783
All about nick and all of his career and all these national
00:11:33.783 --> 00:11:36.318
Championships and so on. and miss terry celebrated with him.
00:11:36.318 --> 00:11:39.955
Well, they get in the car to drive away and they go to a gas
00:11:39.955 --> 00:11:43.292
Station which is on the edge of this particular town and there
00:11:43.292 --> 00:11:46.395
Was a fellow there who just happened to be miss terry's
00:11:46.395 --> 00:11:49.465
High school boyfriend for 4 or 5 years. and nick who went to
00:11:49.465 --> 00:11:55.738
Another school said he always wanted to date terry but he
00:11:55.738 --> 00:11:58.541
Never could get her to accept a date. finally, he did and they
00:11:58.541 --> 00:12:01.277
Married; they've been married about 45 years, i think. but
00:12:01.277 --> 00:12:04.547
They have this little reunion with her old boyfriend.
00:12:04.547 --> 00:12:08.717
So they get in the car afterwards, from the gas
00:12:08.717 --> 00:12:11.287
Station. and nick couldn't resist. he's just like a man;
00:12:11.287 --> 00:12:15.891
He wanted a little drive-by here, so he said, "well, i
00:12:15.891 --> 00:12:22.264
Guess if you had married your old high school boyfriend... (i
00:12:22.264 --> 00:12:24.700
Think his name was mickey), this is where you'd be,
00:12:24.700 --> 00:12:29.205
Pointing to the gas station." nothing wrong with having a gas
00:12:29.205 --> 00:12:33.275
Station, pretty good job. but he said, "this is where you
00:12:33.275 --> 00:12:35.911
Would be." to which miss terry looked at him and said, "no, if
00:12:35.911 --> 00:12:41.283
I had married my high school boy friend mickey, he would be
00:12:41.283 --> 00:12:45.421
The coach at the university of alabama, and you would be
00:12:45.421 --> 00:12:48.190
Running the gas station." [laughter] so while we all
00:12:48.190 --> 00:12:58.033
Know... we all get it, the guys in this room. but verse 1 says:
00:12:58.033 --> 00:13:03.873
1) likewise, wives, be subject to your own husbands, so that
00:13:03.873 --> 00:13:07.076
Even if some do not obey the word...
00:13:07.076 --> 00:13:10.646
Specifically, he's speaking to wives who are married to
00:13:10.646 --> 00:13:14.283
Unsaved men. it can happen. perhaps you find you find
00:13:14.283 --> 00:13:19.221
Yourself married to a man who does not know christ
00:13:19.221 --> 00:13:21.757
Personally. and i would advise... strongly urge from
00:13:21.757 --> 00:13:26.095
Scriptures, if you are single "do not be unequally yoked
00:13:26.095 --> 00:13:30.199
Together with an unbeliever." marry a man who loves jesus and
00:13:30.199 --> 00:13:34.203
Is following jesus, not just someone... because there are
00:13:34.203 --> 00:13:36.906
Other people ... women who end up in a marriage with men who
00:13:36.906 --> 00:13:39.975
Do not really know the lord because they said they did, but
00:13:39.975 --> 00:13:43.679
No, as soon as the vows were made, another direction. and so
00:13:43.679 --> 00:13:47.816
You find yourself... many women in the first century who peter
00:13:47.816 --> 00:13:51.086
Was writing to found themselves married to pagan men. so how
00:13:51.086 --> 00:13:55.991
Are they to respond to this? he said,
00:13:55.991 --> 00:14:00.162
1) ... so even as some who do not obey the word, they may be
00:14:00.162 --> 00:14:03.465
Won without a word...
00:14:03.465 --> 00:14:04.867
Doesn't say with the word of god because “faith comes by
00:14:04.867 --> 00:14:09.271
Hearing and hearing by the word of god.” but it doesn't come by
00:14:09.271 --> 00:14:12.641
Lecturing or preaching or words of the wife,
00:14:12.641 --> 00:14:17.479
But it comes by rather
00:14:17.479 --> 00:14:19.548
1) ... the conduct (the character) of the wives 2) when
00:14:19.548 --> 00:14:22.918
They see your respectful and pure conduct.
00:14:22.918 --> 00:14:28.090
And then he talks about inner you. he says:
00:14:28.090 --> 00:14:32.461
3) do not let your adorning be external—the braiding of hair
00:14:32.461 --> 00:14:37.333
And the putting on of gold jewelry,
00:14:37.333 --> 00:14:40.302
Or the clothing you wear—
00:14:40.302 --> 00:14:42.771
Of course, we want people to wear clothing; that's not what
00:14:42.771 --> 00:14:45.307
He's saying. he's not saying you shouldn't wear jewelry or
00:14:45.307 --> 00:14:48.944
Put on cosmetics. he's saying this is not first for the
00:14:48.944 --> 00:14:54.383
Christian woman. cosmetics are good. deb is teaching our
00:14:54.383 --> 00:15:03.025
Granddaughters how to put on some makeup. but she always
00:15:03.025 --> 00:15:07.229
Tells them as she's showing them what to do, that remember,
00:15:07.229 --> 00:15:12.201
It's your inner beauty that matters the most. take care of
00:15:12.201 --> 00:15:16.071
The exterior, but make sure your inner beauty is ravishing
00:15:16.071 --> 00:15:22.811
And respectful. because verse 4 says:
00:15:22.811 --> 00:15:25.948
4) but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with
00:15:25.948 --> 00:15:29.184
The imperishable beauty
00:15:29.184 --> 00:15:31.053
Have you noticed that nobody wins, men and women, against
00:15:31.053 --> 00:15:34.923
Father time and mother nature? all right now, it's true.
00:15:34.923 --> 00:15:43.098
But this 4) ... inner beauty... imperishable beauty of a gentle
00:15:43.098 --> 00:15:48.203
And quiet spirit, which in god's sight (who you want to
00:15:48.203 --> 00:15:53.108
Please) ... in god's sight is very precious. (god looks at
00:15:53.108 --> 00:16:00.082
The heart.) 5) for this is how the holy women (here's our
00:16:00.082 --> 00:16:04.853
Word) who hoped in god used to adorn themselves, by submitting
00:16:04.853 --> 00:16:09.992
To their own husbands, (we'll get to that "s" word in just a
00:16:09.992 --> 00:16:13.762
Moment "submitting". 6) so sarah (here's the sisterhood of
00:16:13.762 --> 00:16:17.800
Sarah, the wife of abraham... she) ... obeyed abraham,
00:16:17.800 --> 00:16:21.336
Calling him lord. (that's the highest term of respect) and
00:16:21.336 --> 00:16:24.973
You are her children, if you do good and do not fear anything
00:16:24.973 --> 00:16:29.078
That is frightening.
00:16:29.078 --> 00:16:30.379
And then here's the verse for men:
00:16:30.379 --> 00:16:31.747
7) likewise,
00:16:31.747 --> 00:16:33.315
You see the two likewises in this passage? one that's in
00:16:33.315 --> 00:16:37.152
Verse 1 and another that is in verse 7. likewise, two times,
00:16:37.152 --> 00:16:41.590
Or in this manner or in this way. i'll tell you why it's
00:16:41.590 --> 00:16:44.593
There in a moment.
00:16:44.593 --> 00:16:46.095
7) likewise, husbands, live with your wives in an
00:16:46.095 --> 00:16:50.532
Understanding way, showing honor to the woman as the
00:16:50.532 --> 00:16:54.837
Weaker vessel, since they are heirs with you of the grace of
00:16:54.837 --> 00:16:59.374
Life, so that your prayers (your prayers individually or
00:16:59.374 --> 00:17:04.947
Your prayers together) may not be hindered.
00:17:04.947 --> 00:17:09.551
Now, very quickly. a word to wives... words to wives.
00:17:09.551 --> 00:17:20.295
Today's womanhood is far from the character of the woman of
00:17:20.295 --> 00:17:26.735
God that we find in scripture. you know that the leftist
00:17:26.735 --> 00:17:32.074
Movement, the feminist movements of this country are
00:17:32.074 --> 00:17:37.112
Determined to defeat the biblical view point or world
00:17:37.112 --> 00:17:41.383
View of both manhood [clears throat] and womanhood.
00:17:41.383 --> 00:17:48.023
"likewise" in verse 1 and down in verse 7 again as well, is
00:17:48.023 --> 00:17:52.728
Pointing back to what peter has told us earlier about jesus.
00:17:52.728 --> 00:17:59.368
And in this we read that we're to follow... 1 peter 2:21...
00:17:59.368 --> 00:18:06.241
That we are to follow in christ's steps. and if you read
00:18:06.241 --> 00:18:09.011
That passage, and we covered it, if you read that passage
00:18:09.011 --> 00:18:12.281
You see the sacrifice of christ, you see the surrender
00:18:12.281 --> 00:18:15.317
Of christ, you see the submission of christ, you see
00:18:15.317 --> 00:18:18.320
The honor of christ to the heavenly father; that he was
00:18:18.320 --> 00:18:24.960
Submissive to the will of god. jesus lived and loved with
00:18:24.960 --> 00:18:30.666
Humility and obedience to the heavenly father!
00:18:30.666 --> 00:18:35.337
So likewise, women and men, we are to follow in his steps.
00:18:35.337 --> 00:18:41.977
Thankfully, we have the holy spirit... the spirit of god,
00:18:41.977 --> 00:18:45.614
Christ in us to enable us to live like him. we can't do this
00:18:45.614 --> 00:18:51.653
On our own. our example therefore, however, is not in
00:18:51.653 --> 00:18:55.390
The culture. your example as a woman should not be in the
00:18:55.390 --> 00:18:59.828
Culture, what the world says a woman is to be, but like
00:18:59.828 --> 00:19:05.400
Christ, to live in humility and devotion to god. the best thing
00:19:05.400 --> 00:19:12.274
A christian husband can do is to pattern himself after jesus.
00:19:12.274 --> 00:19:18.447
The best thing a christian woman can do in the marriage,
00:19:18.447 --> 00:19:22.451
In life is to pattern herself after jesus. it is in christ
00:19:22.451 --> 00:19:29.057
That we see this magnificent blending of strength and
00:19:29.057 --> 00:19:32.628
Tenderness, humility and honor.
00:19:32.628 --> 00:19:37.499
Peter also points to sarah... i mentioned that as we passed
00:19:37.499 --> 00:19:40.535
By... as a model to wives who follow, not... she wasn't a
00:19:40.535 --> 00:19:44.606
Perfect wife by any means. sarah made her mistakes along
00:19:44.606 --> 00:19:47.609
The way. and so did abraham. but sarah, because of her faith
00:19:47.609 --> 00:19:51.346
In god and her trust in god and her willingness to follow her
00:19:51.346 --> 00:19:55.117
Husband, she woke up one day and abraham was saying, "we're
00:19:55.117 --> 00:19:57.786
Moving." she said, where? "i don't know, we're just
00:19:57.786 --> 00:19:59.755
Following god." and she followed her husband. and she
00:19:59.755 --> 00:20:02.257
Followed god as he followed god in an uncharted path, and a
00:20:02.257 --> 00:20:06.028
Nation was born!
00:20:06.028 --> 00:20:07.296
And so sarah is one of the women who shows up a heroine of
00:20:07.296 --> 00:20:12.467
Faith in god's hall of fame, hebrews chapter 11, because she
00:20:12.467 --> 00:20:16.405
Was a godly woman and she's an example, along with all these
00:20:16.405 --> 00:20:21.176
Women that we meet in the bible. let the bible... let the
00:20:21.176 --> 00:20:26.982
Bible show you what the model is to be as you live a godly
00:20:26.982 --> 00:20:31.420
Life and teach this to your girls, teach this to your
00:20:31.420 --> 00:20:34.456
Teenagers. we can't follow christ's perfect example unless
00:20:34.456 --> 00:20:40.429
We know him as lord and savior and trust him as savior and
00:20:40.429 --> 00:20:45.267
Follow him as lord, and read in his word. the principle of
00:20:45.267 --> 00:20:48.537
Submission is here. two times it's mentioned in this
00:20:48.537 --> 00:20:52.641
Paragraph. wives are reminded to be submissive to their
00:20:52.641 --> 00:20:57.546
Husbands; verse 1 and verse 5.
00:20:57.546 --> 00:21:01.917
I think i should pretty much leave it at that except to
00:21:01.917 --> 00:21:04.486
Explain one thing: this is god's word, and the word submit
00:21:04.486 --> 00:21:09.157
Means to come under. it's a military word. it has nothing
00:21:09.157 --> 00:21:12.661
To do with superiority or inferiority. dr. adrain rogers
00:21:12.661 --> 00:21:19.334
Used to say, “everyone knows a woman is superior to a man at
00:21:19.334 --> 00:21:28.610
Being a woman. and a man is superior to a woman at being a
00:21:28.610 --> 00:21:36.551
Man.” i agree with that!
00:21:36.551 --> 00:21:39.821
And so to come under authority, to line up, as it were, under
00:21:39.821 --> 00:21:46.895
The authority of god, mutually submissive to one another, and
00:21:46.895 --> 00:21:52.167
Loving one another in oneness.
00:21:52.167 --> 00:21:54.202
And so how do we influence one another? how do you as a
00:21:54.202 --> 00:21:58.640
Christian woman influence your husband for good, for christ?
00:21:58.640 --> 00:22:04.880
It is by your godly conduct. again, not your words, but your
00:22:04.880 --> 00:22:11.119
Wisdom, not human persuasion but allowing the holy spirit to
00:22:11.119 --> 00:22:18.794
Use you to influence your husband because of your
00:22:18.794 --> 00:22:21.963
Attitude... because of your mindset. this is a beautiful
00:22:21.963 --> 00:22:25.400
Thing, to cultivate inner beauty that lasts a lifetime.
00:22:25.400 --> 00:22:32.741
One last note, he mentions to wives that you're to be gentle
00:22:32.741 --> 00:22:35.844
And quiet in spirit. now that may sound like a putdown, but
00:22:35.844 --> 00:22:43.385
It's actually a put up, because to be gentle and quiet in
00:22:43.385 --> 00:22:46.922
Spirit is not to sit down and shut up, but rather it is to be
00:22:46.922 --> 00:22:51.493
Calm. it is to be elegant. let's use the word poised.
00:22:51.493 --> 00:22:59.634
Poised and mature.
00:22:59.634 --> 00:23:02.671
So question: wives, are you honoring your husband? are you
00:23:02.671 --> 00:23:09.678
Willing to serve your god by loving your husband?
00:23:09.678 --> 00:23:15.917
Do you know the number one reason and predictor of divorce
00:23:15.917 --> 00:23:24.326
In a marriage? contempt.
00:23:24.326 --> 00:23:30.999
You say, what does that mean? contempt shows up in our words,
00:23:30.999 --> 00:23:37.539
Our body language... you ever rolled your eyes at someone?
00:23:37.539 --> 00:23:46.448
Marriages on life support are filled with contempt one to
00:23:46.448 --> 00:23:50.252
Another and it happens a lot. the opposite of contempt... to
00:23:50.252 --> 00:23:57.125
Your mate, to your husband, to your wife... is respect, is to
00:23:57.125 --> 00:24:05.500
Honor, and we love them.
00:24:05.500 --> 00:24:11.072
Peter says that your wife, gentlemen, is like a... she's
00:24:11.072 --> 00:24:15.277
The weaker vessel, not because... not even really
00:24:15.277 --> 00:24:19.714
Because she may be physically less capable than a man,
00:24:19.714 --> 00:24:23.351
Although this is a fact. this is the reason you don't want
00:24:23.351 --> 00:24:28.590
Men in women's sports or boys in girl's sports, because
00:24:28.590 --> 00:24:34.496
Just... it is a fact... it is physically we are made
00:24:34.496 --> 00:24:37.566
Differently. but it certainly doesn't refer ... when the
00:24:37.566 --> 00:24:41.036
Weaker vessel is mentioned here, it doesn't refer to
00:24:41.036 --> 00:24:43.104
Weaker in character, weaker in morality, weaker emotionally.
00:24:43.104 --> 00:24:46.241
No, it's a word which actually means a delicate vase.
00:24:46.241 --> 00:24:52.380
So a wife is to be treasured. i would say the opposite, men and
00:24:52.380 --> 00:24:57.819
Women are content and the one word that will save your
00:24:57.819 --> 00:25:04.793
Marriage and sustain your marriage... it's not even the
00:25:04.793 --> 00:25:09.798
Word love. it's the word cherish... cherish. and men, we
00:25:09.798 --> 00:25:20.809
Are to cherish our wives and treasure them. why? because we
00:25:20.809 --> 00:25:27.382
Are heirs together of the grace of god.
00:25:27.382 --> 00:25:30.585
And before you were a husband and a wife, you were a child of
00:25:30.585 --> 00:25:41.696
God, and are a child of god... if you're saved. so your wife
00:25:41.696 --> 00:25:47.736
Is a child of the father before she is your wife, she is a
00:25:47.736 --> 00:25:51.940
Child of god. treat her as a child of god. your husband, if
00:25:51.940 --> 00:25:59.381
He knows the lord, is a child of god, is a son of god. he may
00:25:59.381 --> 00:26:07.455
Not always act like it, but if he knows the lord, he's a son
00:26:07.455 --> 00:26:11.726
Of god. treat him accordingly. you're heirs together of the
00:26:11.726 --> 00:26:17.699
Grace of god. amen?
00:26:17.699 --> 00:26:20.969
