The Winning Walk with Dr. Ed Young | Ed Young - What Every Wife Needs To Know | July 9, 2026
- Unforgettable woman is feminine.
- 00:00:01.291 --> 00:00:04.260
- She has a quiet and gentle spirit and confidence.
- 00:00:04.260 --> 00:00:08.098
- She's intelligent.
- 00:00:08.531 --> 00:00:09.666
- She stays up, she's fun to be with,
- 00:00:09.666 --> 00:00:13.136
- And she makes that guy feel bigger than life.
- 00:00:13.136 --> 00:00:17.574
- That was sarah that can become any woman here.
- 00:00:18.475 --> 00:00:21.511
- When we build up on the inside
- 00:00:21.511 --> 00:00:24.781
- And there's a beauty that comes out.
- 00:00:24.781 --> 00:00:27.217
- That's god's design for the wife.
- 00:00:27.217 --> 00:00:47.303
- Many marriages are debates
- 00:00:47.871 --> 00:00:50.707
- Instead of a dance.
- 00:00:50.707 --> 00:00:54.244
- Marriage.
- 00:00:54.544 --> 00:00:55.545
- God's way is intended to be a divine dance.
- 00:00:55.545 --> 00:01:01.084
- Now we watch winter olympics
- 00:01:01.684 --> 00:01:04.988
- Sort of casually, year by year.
- 00:01:04.988 --> 00:01:07.891
- But i can remember well, this year
- 00:01:07.891 --> 00:01:11.494
- I'm watching a basketball game on one channel
- 00:01:11.494 --> 00:01:14.764
- Time out commercial.
- 00:01:15.231 --> 00:01:16.699
- I go to the news channel
- 00:01:16.699 --> 00:01:18.168
- And i'm flipping back and forth in my flipping.
- 00:01:18.168 --> 00:01:21.738
- I run into the winter olympics and there is pair skating.
- 00:01:21.738 --> 00:01:26.342
- Jobs says, let's watch that a little bit.
- 00:01:26.342 --> 00:01:31.481
- Now, for many years, i looked on paris state
- 00:01:32.382 --> 00:01:35.418
- Skating as curling.
- 00:01:35.418 --> 00:01:38.655
- Which is not my favorite sport.
- 00:01:39.289 --> 00:01:42.225
- In fact, the fact it is a sport is astounding to me.
- 00:01:42.225 --> 00:01:45.061
- But but i but being the perfect
- 00:01:45.061 --> 00:01:48.665
- Husband that i am,
- 00:01:48.665 --> 00:01:51.334
- I always stop
- 00:01:51.334 --> 00:01:54.137
- And i watch it.
- 00:01:54.504 --> 00:01:56.472
- And then i have to
- 00:01:56.472 --> 00:01:59.442
- Tell you the truth,
- 00:01:59.442 --> 00:02:02.512
- I now appreciate it and like it.
- 00:02:02.512 --> 00:02:05.381
- It is some kind of event.
- 00:02:05.949 --> 00:02:10.820
- It is, you see the strength of the man
- 00:02:11.588 --> 00:02:15.058
- And you see the femininity of the woman, and you see how
- 00:02:15.058 --> 00:02:19.095
- She trusts him and how he has confidence in her.
- 00:02:19.095 --> 00:02:23.233
- And it is a fabulous event of balance.
- 00:02:23.233 --> 00:02:29.339
- Timing,
- 00:02:29.572 --> 00:02:31.808
- Coordination,
- 00:02:31.808 --> 00:02:34.010
- Discipline, training,
- 00:02:34.010 --> 00:02:36.980
- And behind all of that, what's going on?
- 00:02:36.980 --> 00:02:40.450
- Music
- 00:02:40.683 --> 00:02:42.685
- There in time, with music, with rhythm.
- 00:02:42.685 --> 00:02:46.122
- And we know behind that is a choreographer
- 00:02:46.122 --> 00:02:48.725
- Who has written everything down, every move they make,
- 00:02:48.725 --> 00:02:52.428
- Every turn of their body in unison and in harmony.
- 00:02:52.428 --> 00:02:57.467
- I dare say there's not a sport on the planet
- 00:02:57.467 --> 00:03:00.603
- That is more demanding than pair skating.
- 00:03:00.603 --> 00:03:04.607
- As far as two individuals moving together
- 00:03:04.607 --> 00:03:08.177
- With a beautiful flow.
- 00:03:08.177 --> 00:03:10.013
- Now, when the flow doesn't work,
- 00:03:10.013 --> 00:03:13.549
- When the timing is out of sort, we just launch out.
- 00:03:14.584 --> 00:03:17.487
- There was a boy.
- 00:03:17.487 --> 00:03:18.621
- My marriage didn't work him because of this and that.
- 00:03:18.621 --> 00:03:20.890
- We haven't read the score.
- 00:03:20.890 --> 00:03:22.992
- We don't hear the music. we haven't followed
- 00:03:22.992 --> 00:03:25.361
- The choreographer who is god himself.
- 00:03:25.361 --> 00:03:28.731
- So now we're going to catch up.
- 00:03:29.365 --> 00:03:32.068
- No man who was here
- 00:03:32.068 --> 00:03:34.103
- Last time has an excuse for saying, you know,
- 00:03:34.103 --> 00:03:37.173
- I don't know what i'm supposed to do as a husband.
- 00:03:37.173 --> 00:03:40.276
- That excuse is invalid today.
- 00:03:40.910 --> 00:03:44.614
- No wife would be able to leave and say, well,
- 00:03:44.614 --> 00:03:48.084
- I don't know what i'm to do as a wife
- 00:03:48.084 --> 00:03:50.953
- After this time together, that excuse
- 00:03:51.788 --> 00:03:54.057
- Will be invalid.
- 00:03:54.057 --> 00:03:56.893
- The divine dance of marriage.
- 00:03:57.527 --> 00:03:59.562
- God style.
- 00:03:59.562 --> 00:04:02.065
- We have to begin and understand
- 00:04:02.065 --> 00:04:05.068
- As first of all, we call the apostle paul forward.
- 00:04:05.068 --> 00:04:08.871
- Remember we said, paul, come tell us about marriage.
- 00:04:08.871 --> 00:04:11.341
- And he talked to the guys today.
- 00:04:11.341 --> 00:04:14.243
- We say, paul, come tell us about marriage.
- 00:04:14.243 --> 00:04:16.245
- He's talks to the wives.
- 00:04:16.245 --> 00:04:18.948
- And then we'll ask the apostle peter to come.
- 00:04:18.948 --> 00:04:21.617
- He talked to the guys last week.
- 00:04:21.617 --> 00:04:23.286
- We're going to say, pete, come
- 00:04:23.286 --> 00:04:24.320
- Tell us about the females this week.
- 00:04:24.320 --> 00:04:28.057
- So therefore we have two authorities
- 00:04:28.825 --> 00:04:31.861
- Inspired by god given instructions,
- 00:04:31.861 --> 00:04:34.731
- So we can see what's
- 00:04:34.731 --> 00:04:36.032
- On the box of marriage and get it together.
- 00:04:36.032 --> 00:04:39.102
- And marriage can become not a debate.
- 00:04:39.102 --> 00:04:44.707
- But a dance.
- 00:04:45.041 --> 00:04:47.343
- Open your bible.
- 00:04:47.343 --> 00:04:48.177
- You would the book of ephesians,
- 00:04:48.177 --> 00:04:51.314
- Chapter number five.
- 00:04:51.781 --> 00:04:53.583
- Familiar chapter.
- 00:04:53.583 --> 00:04:55.618
- Before we get into the assignments for the wife,
- 00:04:55.618 --> 00:04:59.622
- Let's see the introduction to this.
- 00:04:59.622 --> 00:05:01.991
- Look at verse 18.
- 00:05:01.991 --> 00:05:04.894
- Paul says, and do not get drunk with wine,
- 00:05:04.894 --> 00:05:07.463
- For that is dissipation, but be filled with the spirit,
- 00:05:07.463 --> 00:05:10.800
- Speaking to one
- 00:05:10.800 --> 00:05:11.834
- Another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs,
- 00:05:11.834 --> 00:05:14.871
- Singing and making melody with your heart to the lord,
- 00:05:14.871 --> 00:05:18.174
- Always giving thanks for all things in the
- 00:05:18.174 --> 00:05:21.010
- Name of our lord jesus christ, to god, even the father.
- 00:05:21.010 --> 00:05:25.281
- Verse 21.
- 00:05:25.281 --> 00:05:26.382
- And be subject to one another in the fear of christ.
- 00:05:26.382 --> 00:05:30.586
- And then there is the assignment.
- 00:05:30.586 --> 00:05:32.622
- Ladies, look at verse 22.
- 00:05:32.622 --> 00:05:34.390
- Wives, be subject.
- 00:05:34.390 --> 00:05:35.858
- Be submissive to your own husbands
- 00:05:35.858 --> 00:05:38.661
- As to the lord.
- 00:05:38.661 --> 00:05:41.964
- To understand marriage, you have
- 00:05:41.964 --> 00:05:43.433
- To understand the background that is here.
- 00:05:43.433 --> 00:05:46.135
- Paul has given us in the book of ephesians five
- 00:05:46.135 --> 00:05:49.138
- And a half chapters of heavy theology,
- 00:05:49.138 --> 00:05:53.309
- Somebody saying, i don't like theology.
- 00:05:53.309 --> 00:05:56.746
- Theology is what you believe
- 00:05:57.346 --> 00:05:59.749
- And what you believe, and i believe, i believe
- 00:05:59.749 --> 00:06:02.785
- Should be the basis
- 00:06:02.785 --> 00:06:03.986
- Upon which we live, basis upon which we make decisions.
- 00:06:03.986 --> 00:06:07.623
- So theology is important, but
- 00:06:07.623 --> 00:06:10.827
- Five and a half chapters of practical doctrine.
- 00:06:10.827 --> 00:06:13.863
- Then we have this verse, the transitional verse,
- 00:06:13.863 --> 00:06:18.935
- Be not drunk with wine, but be filled
- 00:06:19.735 --> 00:06:22.371
- With the holy spirit from doctrine to practicality.
- 00:06:22.371 --> 00:06:26.342
- What does that mean?
- 00:06:26.342 --> 00:06:27.610
- Be not be drunk with wine when you're drunk.
- 00:06:27.610 --> 00:06:30.379
- What happens?
- 00:06:30.379 --> 00:06:31.414
- You don't think clearly.
- 00:06:31.414 --> 00:06:33.216
- You don't see as well.
- 00:06:33.216 --> 00:06:34.750
- You don't speak as well.
- 00:06:34.750 --> 00:06:37.386
- Your coordination is out of sorts
- 00:06:37.386 --> 00:06:39.856
- And you make bad decisions.
- 00:06:39.856 --> 00:06:42.225
- So paul is saying, don't be drunk
- 00:06:42.225 --> 00:06:44.894
- With wine and have all of this liability on you.
- 00:06:44.894 --> 00:06:48.030
- He said, be filled with the spirit.
- 00:06:48.030 --> 00:06:50.399
- And when we're filled
- 00:06:50.399 --> 00:06:51.767
- With the spirit of god, the holy spirit,
- 00:06:51.767 --> 00:06:54.136
- Guess what happens?
- 00:06:54.136 --> 00:06:55.204
- We see better.
- 00:06:55.204 --> 00:06:57.106
- We think better.
- 00:06:57.106 --> 00:06:58.774
- We move better.
- 00:06:58.774 --> 00:07:00.743
- We make wiser decisions because he is empowering
- 00:07:00.743 --> 00:07:04.814
- Us, empowering you and empowering me.
- 00:07:04.814 --> 00:07:08.684
- So we see the contrast that is here.
- 00:07:08.684 --> 00:07:11.787
- And then he tells us characteristics of the spirit
- 00:07:11.787 --> 00:07:15.658
- Filled life.
- 00:07:15.658 --> 00:07:17.026
- How can you tell where someone is full of the spirit?
- 00:07:17.026 --> 00:07:20.630
- By the way, to be filled means to be under the control of.
- 00:07:20.630 --> 00:07:24.867
- If you're filled with anger, guess what?
- 00:07:24.867 --> 00:07:28.170
- Anger is in control of you or in control of me.
- 00:07:28.170 --> 00:07:32.375
- If you're filled with malice, the same thing.
- 00:07:32.375 --> 00:07:34.977
- If you're filled with the spirit,
- 00:07:34.977 --> 00:07:36.612
- It means to be controlled, to be god controlled.
- 00:07:36.612 --> 00:07:41.951
- And then we say we're thankful.
- 00:07:41.951 --> 00:07:44.687
- I believe god honors people who are thankful and grateful
- 00:07:44.687 --> 00:07:48.591
- And appreciative as much as anything else.
- 00:07:48.591 --> 00:07:52.495
- That should be an attitude of someone
- 00:07:52.495 --> 00:07:54.530
- Who's walking with christ,
- 00:07:54.530 --> 00:07:56.132
- Who's being led by the spirit, who is full of the spirit.
- 00:07:56.132 --> 00:07:59.902
- And then finally, there's that word submission.
- 00:07:59.902 --> 00:08:03.706
- And what is what does paul say?
- 00:08:04.340 --> 00:08:06.309
- He said, we're to be submissive one to another.
- 00:08:06.309 --> 00:08:10.413
- Males are to be submitted to females,
- 00:08:10.413 --> 00:08:13.149
- And females are to be submissive to males.
- 00:08:13.149 --> 00:08:16.218
- And then he goes along.
- 00:08:16.218 --> 00:08:17.620
- It talks about the job
- 00:08:17.620 --> 00:08:19.088
- Assignments and the rest of the chapter.
- 00:08:19.088 --> 00:08:21.490
- And he says
- 00:08:21.490 --> 00:08:22.725
- Wives are to be subject submissive to their husbands.
- 00:08:22.725 --> 00:08:26.562
- Children ought to be sufficient to their parents,
- 00:08:26.562 --> 00:08:28.864
- And employees ought to be submitted to employers.
- 00:08:28.864 --> 00:08:32.735
- Now women get upset about the word.
- 00:08:32.735 --> 00:08:35.171
- Well, i'm supposed to be submissive.
- 00:08:35.171 --> 00:08:36.973
- Remember the operative word for men?
- 00:08:36.973 --> 00:08:40.109
- We're supposed to
- 00:08:40.543 --> 00:08:41.477
- Live lives of sacrifice before our wives.
- 00:08:41.477 --> 00:08:44.146
- And a man who lives sacrificially before wife.
- 00:08:44.146 --> 00:08:47.450
- How easy it is for a female to be submissive
- 00:08:47.450 --> 00:08:50.886
- And submissive doesn't mean inferiority in any way.
- 00:08:50.886 --> 00:08:54.256
- Doesn't mean that the the husband is a top sergeant.
- 00:08:54.256 --> 00:08:57.927
- And your private ladies, that's not what that means.
- 00:08:57.927 --> 00:09:01.530
- Any more than when we leave today
- 00:09:01.530 --> 00:09:03.299
- And we're on the expressway and zip.
- 00:09:03.299 --> 00:09:06.002
- That little light comes up behind us in the
- 00:09:06.002 --> 00:09:09.005
- In the car and we pull over the side
- 00:09:09.005 --> 00:09:11.641
- And we're submissive to that officer.
- 00:09:11.641 --> 00:09:14.677
- Doesn't mean they're superior to us.
- 00:09:15.444 --> 00:09:17.580
- It means that is our role.
- 00:09:17.580 --> 00:09:19.415
- That is responsibility.
- 00:09:19.415 --> 00:09:20.983
- That's how we function in our culture, in our world.
- 00:09:20.983 --> 00:09:23.786
- That's what this means in that particular area.
- 00:09:23.786 --> 00:09:27.323
- Now we have to look
- 00:09:27.790 --> 00:09:28.858
- At the historical context of this submissiveness.
- 00:09:28.858 --> 00:09:32.428
- It's very, very important when these words were written,
- 00:09:32.428 --> 00:09:36.365
- When christ entered history,
- 00:09:36.966 --> 00:09:40.002
- The plight of women soared.
- 00:09:40.002 --> 00:09:43.539
- Women prior to this were owned.
- 00:09:44.173 --> 00:09:47.376
- They were like cattle.
- 00:09:47.376 --> 00:09:48.911
- They were like property till christ entered this world.
- 00:09:48.911 --> 00:09:52.481
- Make no mistake about it, that is historically true.
- 00:09:52.481 --> 00:09:56.352
- And then jesus comes.
- 00:09:56.352 --> 00:09:59.422
- Paul and the church comes and liberates the female.
- 00:09:59.422 --> 00:10:04.260
- And then we see the assignment here
- 00:10:04.260 --> 00:10:06.862
- That the female has in this job description.
- 00:10:06.862 --> 00:10:10.132
- Look back to ephesians chapter number five, if you would.
- 00:10:10.132 --> 00:10:16.138
- Here's the verse, ladies.
- 00:10:16.706 --> 00:10:18.007
- Hold on, wives, be subject to your own husbands as the lord.
- 00:10:18.007 --> 00:10:22.545
- By the way, in your bible is the word subject in italics.
- 00:10:22.545 --> 00:10:27.383
- Look at it.
- 00:10:27.383 --> 00:10:28.417
- It kind of and wonder why that is.
- 00:10:28.417 --> 00:10:31.187
- You know why it's not in the original greek,
- 00:10:31.187 --> 00:10:34.824
- But subject was put in there because in the context
- 00:10:34.824 --> 00:10:38.294
- Of the context wise, be subject to the husbands.
- 00:10:38.294 --> 00:10:41.564
- Husbands be subject to the wives, see in that context.
- 00:10:41.564 --> 00:10:44.400
- And then he's saying this is simply the job description.
- 00:10:44.400 --> 00:10:48.337
- Alright.
- 00:10:48.604 --> 00:10:49.472
- Wise be subject to your own husbands
- 00:10:49.472 --> 00:10:51.540
- As the lord, for the husband as head of the wife,
- 00:10:51.540 --> 00:10:53.542
- As christ, also as the head of the church,
- 00:10:53.542 --> 00:10:55.511
- He himself being the savior of the body.
- 00:10:55.511 --> 00:10:59.215
- What do you say?
- 00:10:59.215 --> 00:11:00.249
- Submission, wives, is an obligation.
- 00:11:00.249 --> 00:11:05.387
- It's an obligation.
- 00:11:05.855 --> 00:11:07.790
- Submission is what wives are built for.
- 00:11:07.790 --> 00:11:10.493
- For example, in the bible,
- 00:11:10.493 --> 00:11:12.495
- You know, not find one illustration.
- 00:11:12.495 --> 00:11:15.131
- Remind you of a command for wives to love their husbands.
- 00:11:15.131 --> 00:11:19.268
- Remember that
- 00:11:19.268 --> 00:11:21.537
- Not one time, three times you find the command
- 00:11:21.537 --> 00:11:24.607
- For men to love their wives.
- 00:11:24.607 --> 00:11:25.841
- Why is that?
- 00:11:25.841 --> 00:11:27.343
- God doesn't command something that's already taking place.
- 00:11:27.343 --> 00:11:30.179
- It's already built in. does he?
- 00:11:30.179 --> 00:11:32.481
- Wives have a capacity of love?
- 00:11:32.481 --> 00:11:34.283
- Female has a capacity for love.
- 00:11:34.283 --> 00:11:36.652
- Females have the capacity to care.
- 00:11:36.652 --> 00:11:39.088
- Us guys, we have to develop that.
- 00:11:39.088 --> 00:11:41.624
- That's not innate in you and innate with me.
- 00:11:41.624 --> 00:11:45.294
- As we approach our fiscal
- 00:11:45.861 --> 00:11:47.530
- Year end on july the 31st.
- 00:11:47.530 --> 00:11:50.366
- We're also approaching a historic milestone.
- 00:11:50.366 --> 00:11:53.736
- Think about it.
- 00:11:54.103 --> 00:11:55.004
- America's 250th anniversary.
- 00:11:55.004 --> 00:11:59.241
- And as we reflect on what built this nation
- 00:11:59.241 --> 00:12:02.578
- Faith, family and freedom,
- 00:12:02.578 --> 00:12:05.447
- Fellowship, joy, meaning, significance, a family
- 00:12:05.447 --> 00:12:09.718
- Of god living together under the red, white and blue.
- 00:12:09.718 --> 00:12:12.822
- As we live under the banner of america,
- 00:12:12.822 --> 00:12:16.125
- We also recognize something deeply wrong.
- 00:12:16.125 --> 00:12:19.995
- Biblical truth is being challenged.
- 00:12:19.995 --> 00:12:23.098
- Families are under pressure and faith is no longer
- 00:12:23.098 --> 00:12:26.502
- At the center of our culture.
- 00:12:26.502 --> 00:12:29.205
- Now it's our turn.
- 00:12:29.205 --> 00:12:31.207
- Our turn to stand for what matters most.
- 00:12:31.207 --> 00:12:34.343
- Listen, when you request this much resource,
- 00:12:34.343 --> 00:12:37.880
- You're helping us proclaim the truth of god's word,
- 00:12:37.880 --> 00:12:41.083
- Strengthen families,
- 00:12:41.083 --> 00:12:42.084
- And advance faith across this great nation.
- 00:12:42.084 --> 00:12:45.154
- As i thank you, i would love to send you a signed
- 00:12:45.154 --> 00:12:49.124
- Copy of my book, healing broken america,
- 00:12:49.124 --> 00:12:52.795
- A book that i have written to help us understand
- 00:12:52.795 --> 00:12:55.865
- And to navigate our way through all the challenges
- 00:12:55.865 --> 00:12:59.668
- Of the 21st century in our land as we come to our fiscal
- 00:12:59.668 --> 00:13:04.006
- Year end.
- 00:13:04.006 --> 00:13:05.074
- I'm asking you to step forward in a meaningful way.
- 00:13:05.074 --> 00:13:08.143
- Consider a gift of $250,
- 00:13:08.143 --> 00:13:12.081
- Or really ten others, to give $25 a dollar
- 00:13:12.081 --> 00:13:15.751
- For every year of our nation's existence.
- 00:13:15.751 --> 00:13:18.888
- We give that to the winning walk so that it can continue
- 00:13:18.888 --> 00:13:22.458
- To be broadcast around the world.
- 00:13:22.458 --> 00:13:25.728
- Your support helps us bring biblical truth,
- 00:13:25.728 --> 00:13:28.697
- Encouragement, and meaning across america.
- 00:13:28.697 --> 00:13:32.234
- So let's stand together and believe god for renewal
- 00:13:32.234 --> 00:13:35.271
- And revival in our great nation.
- 00:13:35.271 --> 00:13:39.008
- For if america would catch far for christ,
- 00:13:39.008 --> 00:13:41.644
- It would touch the entire world.
- 00:13:41.644 --> 00:13:44.179
- Thank you.
- 00:13:44.179 --> 00:13:45.848
- Making this possible with your participation
- 00:13:45.848 --> 00:13:48.884
- In prayer and gifts to the winning walk.
- 00:13:48.884 --> 00:14:00.362
- So? so we
- 00:14:00.663 --> 00:14:01.864
- See it is the wife who asks the question of the husband.
- 00:14:01.864 --> 00:14:05.301
- Do you love me as much as i love you?
- 00:14:05.301 --> 00:14:07.937
- That's a female question.
- 00:14:07.937 --> 00:14:09.672
- Men don't ask their wives.
- 00:14:09.672 --> 00:14:11.040
- Do you love?
- 00:14:11.040 --> 00:14:12.675
- You do love me as much as i love you.
- 00:14:12.675 --> 00:14:14.343
- That's that's not.
- 00:14:14.343 --> 00:14:15.444
- You know, you look a survey and women think that.
- 00:14:15.444 --> 00:14:18.514
- Well, i wish he loved me the way, i way i love him
- 00:14:18.514 --> 00:14:22.351
- Because women are built for love.
- 00:14:22.351 --> 00:14:24.920
- Jo, beth and i, i've been pastor of five churches
- 00:14:24.920 --> 00:14:28.691
- And from erwin, north carolina, the canton, north carolina,
- 00:14:28.691 --> 00:14:32.728
- To taylor, south carolina, to columbia, south
- 00:14:32.728 --> 00:14:35.597
- Carolina, to this area in houston.
- 00:14:35.597 --> 00:14:38.334
- And all five churches,
- 00:14:38.334 --> 00:14:40.169
- You know, they come and they hear you preach
- 00:14:40.169 --> 00:14:42.471
- And they want to go and you pray about it.
- 00:14:42.471 --> 00:14:44.239
- And we went over that many, many times.
- 00:14:44.239 --> 00:14:46.275
- But a few times i thought, you know,
- 00:14:46.275 --> 00:14:47.543
- There's a place where god
- 00:14:47.543 --> 00:14:48.677
- Could use me and expand my ministry.
- 00:14:48.677 --> 00:14:50.713
- And i felt he was speaking to my heart,
- 00:14:50.713 --> 00:14:53.215
- Went very slow,
- 00:14:53.215 --> 00:14:54.249
- Very deliberately, got a lot of counsel about it.
- 00:14:54.249 --> 00:14:56.518
- But every time i felt like, maybe this.
- 00:14:56.518 --> 00:14:59.688
- We should go. jo, beth and i had prayed together.
- 00:14:59.688 --> 00:15:01.690
- She'd say, i don't want to go.
- 00:15:01.690 --> 00:15:04.193
- You don't want to go?
- 00:15:04.693 --> 00:15:05.394
- No, i don't want to go.
- 00:15:05.394 --> 00:15:06.695
- And we'd pray some more.
- 00:15:06.695 --> 00:15:08.063
- I said, do you feel like god is leading us to go there?
- 00:15:08.063 --> 00:15:10.299
- She said, no, i don't feel anything from god leading us
- 00:15:10.299 --> 00:15:14.303
- Five times.
- 00:15:14.636 --> 00:15:16.271
- But every time she would say,
- 00:15:16.271 --> 00:15:18.741
- But if you feel god's leading.
- 00:15:18.741 --> 00:15:22.077
- I want you to know i'll go 100%.
- 00:15:22.077 --> 00:15:25.214
- And so every time the same situation,
- 00:15:26.048 --> 00:15:28.584
- She's never felt
- 00:15:28.584 --> 00:15:29.585
- God moving us from one place to another place
- 00:15:29.585 --> 00:15:31.920
- In our marriage of 50 years plus.
- 00:15:31.920 --> 00:15:34.156
- But she says, wherever you go, i'll be there with you ladies.
- 00:15:34.156 --> 00:15:38.727
- That is when the big decisions, the the men.
- 00:15:38.727 --> 00:15:42.064
- We have responsibility for the credibility of the home.
- 00:15:42.064 --> 00:15:45.567
- We are accountable to god, guys.
- 00:15:45.567 --> 00:15:47.870
- Therefore, we can't be accountable
- 00:15:47.870 --> 00:15:49.471
- Unless the wives are submissive.
- 00:15:49.471 --> 00:15:51.640
- When it's a tie vote in decision making.
- 00:15:51.640 --> 00:15:54.476
- A lot of areas.
- 00:15:54.476 --> 00:15:55.310
- I'm totally submissive to your beth.
- 00:15:55.310 --> 00:15:57.079
- She's the authority, other areas she's submissive to me.
- 00:15:57.079 --> 00:16:00.315
- When there's a tie vote,
- 00:16:00.315 --> 00:16:01.950
- I have to break the tie under the leadership of almighty god.
- 00:16:01.950 --> 00:16:05.687
- And that's when the wife has to be submissive.
- 00:16:05.687 --> 00:16:09.291
- So why have you have an obligation and a calling
- 00:16:09.291 --> 00:16:13.195
- And a job assignment?
- 00:16:13.195 --> 00:16:14.463
- God, to be submissive to your husband.
- 00:16:14.463 --> 00:16:18.033
- This is what paul says.
- 00:16:18.033 --> 00:16:19.535
- Now look at what peter says.
- 00:16:19.535 --> 00:16:21.170
- He's had more experience in marriage.
- 00:16:21.170 --> 00:16:22.938
- Anybody, because he remember
- 00:16:22.938 --> 00:16:24.173
- He and his wife and family
- 00:16:24.173 --> 00:16:25.607
- Lived with his mother in law and capernaum.
- 00:16:25.607 --> 00:16:27.976
- So he really let's listen what he says to the wives.
- 00:16:27.976 --> 00:16:31.613
- He says submission is an opportunity.
- 00:16:31.613 --> 00:16:33.749
- Listen to it.
- 00:16:33.749 --> 00:16:35.117
- In the same way you wives
- 00:16:35.117 --> 00:16:36.618
- Be submissive to your own husbands, so that
- 00:16:36.618 --> 00:16:39.354
- Even if any of them are disobedient to the word,
- 00:16:39.354 --> 00:16:42.291
- They may be one
- 00:16:42.291 --> 00:16:43.392
- Without a word by the behavior of their wives.
- 00:16:43.392 --> 00:16:46.895
- What does this mean?
- 00:16:46.895 --> 00:16:48.297
- It means that if you wives has a husband
- 00:16:48.297 --> 00:16:52.067
- Who is not a christian, don't put tracks under his pillow.
- 00:16:52.067 --> 00:16:56.038
- Don't spend all the time saying, oh,
- 00:16:56.038 --> 00:16:58.340
- You're going to hell.
- 00:16:58.340 --> 00:16:59.875
- Don't spend all the time preaching and lamenting
- 00:16:59.875 --> 00:17:03.145
- And working and trying to trick and bribe them.
- 00:17:03.145 --> 00:17:06.014
- You know what you do, gals?
- 00:17:06.014 --> 00:17:08.717
- You just live the
- 00:17:09.151 --> 00:17:10.119
- Christian life in front of your husband.
- 00:17:10.119 --> 00:17:12.888
- You just let it shine.
- 00:17:12.888 --> 00:17:15.157
- I'd rather see a sermon, hear one any day, hadn't you?
- 00:17:15.157 --> 00:17:18.660
- 10 to 1.
- 00:17:18.927 --> 00:17:20.295
- So you live that christian life.
- 00:17:20.295 --> 00:17:22.898
- They see the genuine is there.
- 00:17:22.898 --> 00:17:24.867
- That is what god uses.
- 00:17:24.867 --> 00:17:27.369
- So? so why?
- 00:17:27.369 --> 00:17:28.537
- If you have an obligation to let them see christ in you.
- 00:17:28.537 --> 00:17:32.774
- If you.
- 00:17:33.008 --> 00:17:33.542
- If you work,
- 00:17:33.542 --> 00:17:34.576
- He sees how you handle the things in the marketplace.
- 00:17:34.576 --> 00:17:37.646
- He sees how you handle the things at home.
- 00:17:37.646 --> 00:17:39.815
- And by the way, this is an obligation.
- 00:17:39.815 --> 00:17:41.984
- You bear your witness to your life
- 00:17:41.984 --> 00:17:43.752
- More than your words or your legalism or your
- 00:17:43.752 --> 00:17:48.257
- Also.
- 00:17:48.490 --> 00:17:49.391
- Look what else submission does to a wife.
- 00:17:49.391 --> 00:17:52.161
- It is submissive. look it here.
- 00:17:52.161 --> 00:17:54.463
- It says submissive is an ornament.
- 00:17:54.463 --> 00:17:57.399
- Listen,
- 00:17:57.399 --> 00:17:58.467
- But let it be the hidden person of the heart.
- 00:17:59.401 --> 00:18:02.704
- Verse three.
- 00:18:02.704 --> 00:18:03.672
- Your ornament must not be merely external.
- 00:18:03.672 --> 00:18:07.576
- Braiding the hair.
- 00:18:07.576 --> 00:18:08.911
- Women braiding the hair,
- 00:18:08.911 --> 00:18:10.579
- Wearing gold jewelry or putting on dresses.
- 00:18:10.579 --> 00:18:13.448
- Now i have been in churches
- 00:18:13.448 --> 00:18:15.751
- That they say, oh, see that scripture there?
- 00:18:15.751 --> 00:18:19.221
- You women, you don't braid your hair.
- 00:18:19.221 --> 00:18:21.623
- The bible says, don't braid your hair.
- 00:18:21.623 --> 00:18:24.359
- I've been in church, okay?
- 00:18:24.359 --> 00:18:25.627
- You women, don't you wear any gold jewelry, man?
- 00:18:25.627 --> 00:18:28.764
- You don't do it, but they don't
- 00:18:28.764 --> 00:18:30.299
- Do the next part about wearing dresses.
- 00:18:30.299 --> 00:18:32.134
- They don't say, now you have to be nude.
- 00:18:32.134 --> 00:18:36.338
- You see how the bible can be so twisted?
- 00:18:37.206 --> 00:18:40.008
- Ladies and gentlemen, you read just a part of something.
- 00:18:40.008 --> 00:18:43.912
- What is peter saying?
- 00:18:43.912 --> 00:18:45.614
- He's saying, ladies, let the inside of your life
- 00:18:45.614 --> 00:18:49.184
- Speak more than the externality.
- 00:18:49.184 --> 00:18:52.221
- And you know,
- 00:18:52.588 --> 00:18:53.555
- I think the lady needs to be as attractive.
- 00:18:53.555 --> 00:18:55.924
- It is beautiful as she possibly can.
- 00:18:55.924 --> 00:18:58.327
- And a little paint on the fence always, you know, brightens
- 00:18:58.327 --> 00:19:01.863
- It up.
- 00:19:01.863 --> 00:19:07.536
- So. so we move in this area
- 00:19:08.136 --> 00:19:11.506
- And to be submissive is an ornament.
- 00:19:12.307 --> 00:19:17.012
- It is an attractiveness there.
- 00:19:17.012 --> 00:19:18.981
- And then peter talks about a woman who is unforgettable
- 00:19:18.981 --> 00:19:24.052
- And that sara, the wife of the patriarch, look what he says.
- 00:19:24.052 --> 00:19:27.990
- But let but let it be the hidden person of the heart,
- 00:19:27.990 --> 00:19:32.928
- With the imperishable quality of a gentle and quiet spirit
- 00:19:32.928 --> 00:19:36.898
- Which is precious in the sight of god.
- 00:19:36.898 --> 00:19:38.967
- Verse five.
- 00:19:38.967 --> 00:19:40.102
- For in this way, in former times the holy women also,
- 00:19:40.102 --> 00:19:43.305
- Who hope for god, used to adorn themselves
- 00:19:43.305 --> 00:19:47.909
- With being submitted to their own husband.
- 00:19:47.909 --> 00:19:50.579
- Just as sarah obeyed abraham, calling him lord,
- 00:19:50.579 --> 00:19:54.549
- You have become her children.
- 00:19:54.549 --> 00:19:55.984
- If you do what is right without being frightened by any fear.
- 00:19:55.984 --> 00:20:00.188
- In other words, he saying, wives,
- 00:20:00.188 --> 00:20:02.624
- Trust your husband in this divine dance.
- 00:20:02.624 --> 00:20:06.561
- Trust he's going to throw you, he's
- 00:20:06.561 --> 00:20:08.864
- Going to catch you, he's going to be there.
- 00:20:08.864 --> 00:20:11.867
- And we see the characteristics of an unforgettable woman.
- 00:20:11.867 --> 00:20:17.205
- Every female here, single or married.
- 00:20:17.205 --> 00:20:20.342
- You need to develop these characteristics.
- 00:20:20.342 --> 00:20:23.512
- An unforgettable woman, first of all, is feminine.
- 00:20:23.512 --> 00:20:28.917
- Feminine.
- 00:20:29.217 --> 00:20:30.085
- That doesn't mean that it's a sensual
- 00:20:30.085 --> 00:20:32.854
- Sexual display, but it means there's taste,
- 00:20:32.854 --> 00:20:36.191
- There's class, there's dignity, there's a femininity there.
- 00:20:36.191 --> 00:20:40.729
- Sarah was feminine.
- 00:20:40.729 --> 00:20:43.332
- Said, well, how do you know that?
- 00:20:43.332 --> 00:20:44.399
- Read her story in the old testament,
- 00:20:44.399 --> 00:20:46.668
- When sarah was 65 years old, abraham took her down to egypt
- 00:20:46.668 --> 00:20:50.605
- Because there was a famine in israel.
- 00:20:50.605 --> 00:20:52.507
- And while they were down there, they met pharaoh, and pharaoh
- 00:20:52.507 --> 00:20:55.844
- Was drawn to sarah, and abraham passed sarah off
- 00:20:55.844 --> 00:20:59.481
- As his sister.
- 00:20:59.481 --> 00:21:00.382
- Now she was his half sister, half truth,
- 00:21:00.382 --> 00:21:03.085
- Because he was afraid pharaoh would kill him
- 00:21:03.085 --> 00:21:05.721
- And all would take sarah, a 65 year old woman, in his.
- 00:21:05.721 --> 00:21:09.191
- Aram, let me tell you something.
- 00:21:09.191 --> 00:21:12.160
- A 65 year old woman taking the harem of the
- 00:21:12.160 --> 00:21:14.930
- Most powerful man on earth
- 00:21:14.930 --> 00:21:17.132
- Who had everything,
- 00:21:17.599 --> 00:21:18.667
- Could have any woman that he wanted.
- 00:21:18.667 --> 00:21:21.470
- Boy, sarah had a charisma of femininity, or better,
- 00:21:21.470 --> 00:21:25.040
- That was unmatched.
- 00:21:25.040 --> 00:21:26.108
- Would you say that you don't see that today?
- 00:21:26.108 --> 00:21:30.078
- If bill gates lost his wife, you don't think
- 00:21:30.979 --> 00:21:33.081
- He'd go find some 65 year old woman to marry?
- 00:21:33.081 --> 00:21:35.951
- He'd find more or less some 25 year old.
- 00:21:35.951 --> 00:21:38.286
- That's how it works, isn't it?
- 00:21:38.286 --> 00:21:41.723
- But sarah.
- 00:21:42.023 --> 00:21:43.825
- Sarah was feminine.
- 00:21:43.825 --> 00:21:45.494
- And to further proof that, you know,
- 00:21:45.494 --> 00:21:47.062
- When she was 90 years of age, abraham took her down
- 00:21:47.062 --> 00:21:49.464
- The land of felicia galatia, to be exact.
- 00:21:49.464 --> 00:21:52.401
- And there they ran into the king of emelec.
- 00:21:52.401 --> 00:21:55.771
- And the king looked at sailor.
- 00:21:55.771 --> 00:21:57.172
- She was 90 years old and said,
- 00:21:57.172 --> 00:21:59.574
- Is that your sister or your wife?
- 00:21:59.574 --> 00:22:01.042
- I don't know, take her in my hair.
- 00:22:01.042 --> 00:22:03.211
- 90 years old.
- 00:22:03.211 --> 00:22:06.214
- That is that inner beauty.
- 00:22:06.782 --> 00:22:09.885
- There is a charm.
- 00:22:09.885 --> 00:22:11.686
- And sarah was unforgettable.
- 00:22:11.686 --> 00:22:13.688
- And every female can be unforgettable.

- Doesn't mean that i'm quiet, i don't speak, i'm backward.
