Biblical Seasons Of Life
Marks of a Biblical Wife. If you are a wife, then God has called you to a wonderful position. But at times, being a wife can be difficult and sometimes even overwhelming. We look to the world to see how to fix our marriages and how to be wives, and our marriages end in divorce or we live in strife. Biblical numerology is the study of individual numbers in Scripture. It relates particularly to the meaning of numbers, both literal and symbolic. In the previous blog we addressed the tendency to drift from biblical counseling to pragmatism and attempts to help people in difficult seasons. Jack Graham. Power Point. Most Recent 060417.

While there are many things that God has called us to, I have identified just 5 of the many qualities of a Biblical wife. A Worker at Home. It is clear that God has given the home to women as their domain. Man are called to lead and provide for their family and we are called to care for our home and our family.

Women struggle with many different areas, but being lazy in your home and also being too busy and out of the home often can lead to a wife who isnt fulfilling her role in this area. This is not to say that women should only be in the home, nor is it to say that they should never work outside of the home. As my husband always says, dont hear what Im not saying. What I am saying is this a wifes primary responsibility is their home. We see that God calls women to be workers at home many times in Scripture Titus 2 3 5, 1 Timothy 5 1. Proverbs 3. 1 women and can learn a valuable lesson from her. She was always busy working within and for her home. She looks for wool and flax, and works with her hands in delight. God gives the home to us as our domain and we should strive to be hard workers at home. Love. All Christians are called to generally love, but wives are specifically called to love their family. Older women are instructed to train the younger women in how to live a Godly life And so train the young women to love their husbands and children, to be self controlled, pure, working at home, kind, and submissive to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be reviled. Titus 2 4 5. The kind of love that God calls wives to isnt conditional and based upon feelings. This kind of love isnt the kind that you can fall out of. It isnt an optional love, its a commandment. Martha Peace shares in The Excellent Wife Godly love is not primarily a feeling, it is a choice. It will help you show love if you will think objectively Biblically, not subjectively based on feelings Page 8. Respect for your husband. Most modern TV shows and movies portray husbands as goofballs and not responsible enough to do anything but sit around and watch football. But as Christians, we know that this isnt what a Godly husband should look like. And yet, Christian women often treat their husbands like the wives on those TV shows. They scold their husbands and treat them like they are children. But this isnt how God instructs Godly women to act. However, let each one of you love his wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband. Ephesians 5 3. Often, when a husband loves their wives the way they should, it is easy for a wife to respect her husband. Likewise, when a wife shows respects to her husband, it is easier for them to show love the way they should. While this is usually a nice trade off, it doesnt always work. Ecclesiastes3-1_.png' alt='What Are The Biblical Seasons Of Life' title='What Are The Biblical Seasons Of Life' />Even if a wife doesnt feel loved by her husband, this isnt an excuse to not show respect to her husband. Because God commands it. Intimacy response to husbandOf course this is the big one, intimacy. So many wives struggle with this in their marriage and many husbands and wives feel less than satisfied in their sex life. Peace shares, The sexual bond between husband and wife is a gift from God for the enjoyment of physical intimacy and the procreation of life. All that God created is good, and physical intimacy is no exception Pg 1. God created sex within marriage, and He created it as gift for us. But some wives can struggle to see this as a gift and only as an obligation instead. There is a lot more to be said on this subject, but the bottom line is that God does intend for each couple to have a sex life that is fulfilling for both husband and wife. Let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband. Let the husband fulfill his duty to his wife, and likewise also the wife to her husband. The wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does and likewise also the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does. Stop depriving one another, except by agreement for a time that you may devote yourselves to prayer 1 Corinthians 7 2 5. Submission. Submission is such a touchy subject today, but it is clear what Scripture teaches on the subject. Those who find excuses in order to ignore it are doing just that, making excuses and not looking to Scripture as their final authority. In a Biblical marriage, where both spouses are striving to live their God given roles, the husband would ideally lead his wive lovingly and she would graciously submit. This leading and submitting would be mutually beneficial and ultimately glorifying to God. However, a husband doesnt always lovingly lead and the wife doesnt always graciously and loving submit. But this doesnt excuse either side from their roles. Submission is a much bigger topic than can be addressed in these few paragraphs, so to explore more on submission I highly recommend these resources While this list could go on about the marks of a Biblical wife, and each point could be discussed in great detail, this is at least a starting point. I know in my life I need constant reminders about what God calls us to instead of listening to worldly callings I pray that this list will motivate you, and that you will pick up the Bible and read for yourself what it means to be a Biblical Wife or Husband. Stay tuned on Friday for the 5 Marks of a Biblical Marriage Note. It should be clear that the list below is in no way exhaustive. There are many characteristics of Biblical wives that are not listed below. Neither is this list comprehensive. It is simply a high level overview of 5 key marks to get you started. An excellent resource that I highly recommend to all wives is The Excellent Wife by Martha Peace. Its a comprehensive guide to all things having to do with our role as Biblical wives.

She is so humble and quick to share her own failure, you will quickly be convicted by the truth found in this bookState Of Israel Not Biblical Prophecy State Of Israel Not Biblical Prophecy THE STATE OF ISRAEL IS NOT A FULFILLMENT OF BIBLICAL PROPHECYJEWS EVANGELICAL CHRISTIANS claim that the modern State of Israel is a fulfillment of Biblical prophecy. This claim evinces a shallow and errant understanding of the Bible. The meek shall inherit the earth said Jesus Christ to His disciples. But where do we see any hint of meekness in the conduct of the Jews Jesus also said, Blessed are the peacemakers. But the Jews are warmongers not peace makers. The world has experienced nothing but turmoil since the creation of Israel in 1. The theft of Arab lands by the Jews before and after the U. N.

Christ The 1st Return Of The Jews The Jews were living as exiles in Egypt when Moses brought the 1. Canaan in 1. 44. 5 BC. The 2nd Return Of The Jews The Jews were living as exiles throughout the vast Babylonian Empire which Isaiah perceived as the four corners of the world when Ezra brought only 3 tribes back to the land of Israel in 5. BC. These were the tribes of Judah, Benjamin, and Levi. The other tribes were lost forever. Just prior to 7. 0 AD, Herod destroyed the remaining tribal records, especially those of Levi, the priestly tribe. A 3rd Regathering Of The Jews Was Never Predicted In The Bible. Thus the Jews can truly fulfill Biblical prophecy by repenting of their sins and confessing the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. The Church is the focus of the New Testament. Did not St Paul say that the Old Testament has passed awayDid not St Paul write that a new priesthood and a new lawthe law of the Spirit and not the law of the letter is the New Testaments creed Why then are Evangelicals and Jews haphazardly pulling passages out of context from the Old Testament to prove that the racist State of Israel is Biblical Zionisms aim is to establish the Jews as rulers over all the nations. The Zionists are beginning to do this through their insinuations into diplomatic circles throughout the world. This is the main reason why the State of Israel was pursued by the Jews at the turn of the 2. Then the rebuilding of the Temple, the furniture is already built, will house the Jewish Anti Christ who will terrorize the entire world with Jewish domination.

Look at the intensification of world wide Muslim terrorism because of the injustices of the Zionist state of Israel Christians are to reprove the works of darkness not support it. But St Paul distinguishes 3 classes of society in I Corinthians 1. Galatians 6 with the emphasis on The Israel of God, which is the Church 1. Jews Enemies of the Cross2. Gentiles Pagans Idolaters3. The Church of God The Israel of GodTHE ONLY PLAN that God has for the enemies of the Cross and idolaters is that they become Christians and join the Mystical Body of Christ. St Paul wrote, God has broken down the middle wall of partition between Jews and Gentiles to make in Himself one new man, so making peace. The Jews hate Jesus Christ and are hell bent on eradicating Christianity throughout the world. They even created a State dedicated to the denial of Jesus Christ How then could Israel be a fulfillment of Biblical prophecy when it denies the Messiah Jesus ChristThe racist State of Israel is Satans plan for the Jews to wage war against the Christian Church. Jesus Christ predicted this when He said to St Peter, I will build my Church and the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it. Truly the Jews are a massive fortification of the gates of hell, desperately attempting to prevail against Christs Holy Church. How then could any one justify blessing Israel knowing of their hatred for Jesus Christ BOTTOM LINELet the Jews quit their racist State of Israel and their waging of war against Christ and His Church. Yes let the Jews join the true brotherhood of man, the Mystical Body of Christ. Then we can begin to see Gods plan for the Jews fulfilled before our very eyes.
