LIVING IT OUT
Excerpt from A Beautiful Design
A woman, single or married, has the opportunity to live out her God-given purpose of being a helper in a number of arenas. Today let’s focus on two of them: the home and the church. First, let’s think about the home. According to Ephesians 5, the husband is to sacrificially love his wife, while the wife is to lovingly submit to her husband. He leads and she helps in his role of headship. Let’s look at another passage that speaks to the wife’s role: Read 1 Peter 3:1-2. Summarize it below in your own words. This passage reminds women that living in the role God gave you as a wife is a testimony to the Lord. God can use it to draw an unbelieving husband to saving grace. Titus 2:5 tells us that wives should not only be submissive but also kind. Read Philippians 2:14. When have you been frustrated by or complained about doing something you know is the right thing? What is going on in our hearts when we do that?
FOR WOMEN: Are there times when you submit to your husband in a contentious way? How can you remind yourself in those times that by submitting to your husband, you are, in fact, submitting to the Lord? Wives must remember that their words hold great power with their husbands, sons, and fathers. We should use our words to build up and not to tear down.
First Corinthians 11:7 says, “For a man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God, but woman is the glory of man.” At a first glance, this verse and the verses surrounding it may seem chauvinistic. This passage is even titled in most Bibles “Instructions for Headcoverings.” This would have made perfect sense to first century culture where women wore headcoverings to show their marital status. These verses are actually an attempt by Paul to address the women in the Corinthian church who were shaming their husbands by not covering their heads. It was as if they were saying, “I’m available.” The wives dishonored and disrespected their husbands. Women, you cannot take lightly the weight of your words and actions when it comes to your husbands. Be their glory, not their shame. When have you observed a wife dishonoring or disrespecting her husband? Describe the scenario briefly below. Not only are women to love and respect their husbands, but they are also to nurture and care for those little people who keep you up at night. Children are indeed a blessing from the Lord. Where marriage isn’t sharpening you and making you more like Jesus, parenting will. What a great challenge for a woman to be given the responsibility of caring for another life.

Matt Chandler serves as Lead Pastor of Teaching at The Village Church in Flower Mound, TX. Alongside his current role, Matt is involved in church planting efforts both locally and internationally through The Village and strategic partnerships. In 2012, he became the president of Acts 29, a network of churches planting churches, and he speaks at conferences throughout the world.

continued from page 5
Read Proverbs 31:30. What kind of woman is to be praised? The Proverbs 31 woman, as she is commonly called, is praised by her husband and called blessed by her children. She has many great qualities and characteristics, but the one that stands above them all: she fears the Lord. This does not mean she makes decisions out of fear but instead has a reverence and awe of the Lord that causes her to trust Him regardless of circumstances. That kind of trust frees you to live a life of flourishing. You’re able to trust your children to the Lord, knowing He loves them exponentially more than you do. You’re able to live confidently as a helper to your husband. God will give you grace to model biblical womanhood and you’ll be an example of how to treat men. This is so valuable to your children as they see the gospel being modeled in your marriage. Remember, the partnership between men and women is not limited to marriage and home. Men and women need to work together to serve the church. If you’re married, you can do that with your husband. Read Acts 18:24-28. How did this husband/wife duo minister together? Aquila and Priscilla were not only partners in life and in the home but also in ministry. Other women in Scripture, such as Esther, Ruth, and Mary, are lifted up as valuable to the kingdom. Jesus Himself elevated the value and place of women
and showed that they had significance in His purpose and plan. Their significance did not change their role to headship or give them permission to usurp the authority and responsibility of a man. However, it does help us see how vital women are to the mission of God in the world. Another note about women serving with men in the church: Remember that Ephesians 5 tells wives to submit to their husbands. They are not commanded to submit to other men, only to recognize man’s God-given position of leadership and to come alongside as helper. Women should cultivate and use their gifts within the body of Christ to further the gospel message.
PRAYER WOMEN: Thank God for the blessing and opportunity you have to serve the Lord in the home and church. Ask God to show you ways you need to be serving Him in both realms.
MEN: Pray for the women in your life that they would be strong followers of Christ. Ask God to help you walk alongside them in life and ministry in ways that honor Him.

THUNDER MOUNTAIN:
Excerpt from The Gospel of Mark
Last month I had a speaking engagement in California and my thoughtful friend Pam—who’s a Disneyland® VIP—invited me to come out early and bring Missy so that she could treat us to a special day at the park. We had so much fun swaying on the swinging gondola, riding in the simulated Star Wars battleship, racing on the Cars track, and careening up and down Thunder Mountain. I grew up twenty miles north of Orlando, Florida, so I’d reached the stage of not caring if I ever went to another theme park again decades ago. But being at Disneyland with my wide-eyed, giggling six-year-old daughter was totally and wonderfully different than the tantrum-
throwing-children-and-teeming-massesof-grumpy-adults traumas of my past. Plus, because of Pam’s generosity, we had Fast Passes and didn’t have to wait in the long lines! The only downside was that it was an atypical, record-breaking 100+ degree October day in California, which is the only excuse I have for my foolish lapse in judgment toward the end of our Disneyland experience. I’m one of those yahoo parents who blithely held hands with her six-year-old daughter and walked-without-reallyseeing into the dark, cavernous venue of Space Mountain. I’m one of those yahoo parents who mindlessly chatted while walking down the ramp to the loading continued on page 24

zone thereby blocking out the screams of current Space Mountain participants and not cluing into the fact that Space Mountain is not appropriate for her SIX-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER WHO’S ADOPTED FROM HAITI WHERE THEY DON’T HAVE THEME PARKS, MUCH LESS UBER SCARY ROLLER COASTERS. It wasn’t until Missy and I were sitting side-by-side in the steel coaster car with the bar lowered securely over our laps and lurching forward that I thought, Yikes, she is way too young to be on this rrrriiiiddddeeee … Of course by then it was too late because we were hurtling through the black abyss before I’d finished the thought. To say I held on to Missy for dear life is putting it mildly. I’m surprised her beautiful brown right bicep and the inner thigh of her darling left leg don’t have my fingerprints permanently embedded. Now because I wasn’t holding on to my bar, I bounced around like a pin-ball and things shot out of my pockets like fizz from a shaken coke can. However, I was pretty sure that even without hanging on my fluffy thighs would prevent me from being launched and I was determined to keep my child from becoming flying debris, so I held on to her as tightly as I could and whispered, “I’m right here, baby. It’s going to be OK. This ride is going to be over in just a minute” over and over again. Because the interior of that crazy coaster is deafeningly loud and pitch black dark, I didn’t know if she could hear me and I couldn’t see her expression, so I could only hope she wasn’t crying and pray she wouldn’t 24
be psychologically scarred for life. When we finally lurched back into the light at the end of the ride, I was very relieved to see that she wasn’t crying and was sitting up ramrod straight with a serious expression on her face. I blurted out, “Honey, I’m so sorry… are you OK?” To which she replied with comical authority, “Yes ma’am. But I do NOT like dat Space Moun Tan. It is too dawk and too scarwee.” Dark and scary would be an apt description for what happened from the sixth hour until the ninth hour that Jesus hung on the old rugged cross: And when the sixth hour had come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour. And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” which means, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” And some of the bystanders hearing it said, “Behold, He is calling Elijah.” And someone ran and filled a sponge with sour wine, put it on a reed and gave it to Him to drink, saying, “Wait, let us see whether Elijah will come to take him down.” And Jesus uttered a loud cry and breathed His last. And the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom (Mark 15:3338, ESV). From noon until 3 p.m. on the day the curse of inevitable doom was lifted from humanity, Jerusalem was plunged into complete and eerie darkness. If ache could be illustrated by a weather forecast, it would be like that ancient Friday afternoon when the Holy City was totally devoid of light causing it to be a very dawk and very scarwee place.
