Title: Gender Roles: Part 1 Text: I Timothy 2:8-11 FCF: We often struggle organizing ourselves according to God’s desire for worship. Prop: Because God has given certain expectations for each gender that wishes to fill a role in His worship, men and women ought to be qualified for those roles. Scripture Intro: [Slide 1] Turn in your bible to I Timothy chapter 2. Last week, it was a glorious message of how our God has always planned that His Kingdom would be drawn from all nations of the world. That all kinds of people would be part of His elect. This is the guiding principle in Paul’s instruction that Timothy’s church in Ephesus should be praying all kinds of prayer, for all kinds of people. Such prayer pleases the Lord, because God is not one who shows favoritism on any superficial characteristic of men. Last week we mentioned that in Christ – the divisions we have, the differences between us – suddenly become less and less important. Our identity in Christ takes center stage. But we did mention also, that those categories and divisions do not necessarily disappear. A Jew is still a Jew, a slave is still a slave, and a woman is still a woman. These aren’t discarded, but they become a non-factor in the Kingdom. But Paul, being an excellent student of logic, cannot allow that to go without a counterweight. What I mean by that, is that just because God elects all kinds of people into His Kingdom, and shows no partiality in choosing them… doesn’t mean that God does not care what we are. In fact, there are certain features of what we are that God has designs on and even expectations of. Paul wants to address some of the ways that the church in Ephesus is failing these expectations. We’ll get more into the background of this next week, but suffice it to say, the Ephesian church was having trouble balancing their new found freedoms in Christ with certain aspects of worship that God is still quite particular on. It will be a challenging message for us I am sure. Let’s look starting in verse 8 of chapter 2. I am reading from the NET which you can follow along with in the pew bible on page 1338 or in whatever version you prefer. Transition: Two crazy things happened this week. First, it became glaringly apparent that there would be no way that I could cover all of verses 8-15 this week as I had planned. There is simply too much here to discuss. Secondly, it was not until Friday of this week that I felt that I had arrived at the right interpretation of this passage. The commentators are almost of no help because there is very little consensus on what is happening here. I have done my best to give you a sound explanation, but also to bring us up out of the specifics to understand some general principles that are true, even if all the specifics don’t quite hold water. So, if there is any lack of authority in my words today, if there is any logical inconsistencies or scriptural hiccups, blame me. The Word of God is authoritative, logical, and without error. But as I said – I think (like 85% sure) that I have arrived at the right interpretation. Let me show you. I.) God has given certain expectations for each gender that wishes to fill a role in His worship, so men ought to be godly and at peaceable if they wish to pray publicly (8) a. [Slide 2] 8 – So i. This little word connects what Paul is about to say with what he said in the previous section. ii. We must pray for all kinds of prayers for all kinds of people because when we do, we are like God, who shows no partiality toward anything we possess when He predestines the elect for His Kingdom. iii. Given this urge then, to pray all kinds of prayer for all kinds of people – rooted in the extent of the gospel, Paul will continue to instruct. b. [Slide 3] I want the men to pray i. Many times in scripture when a writer uses the word Anthropos, it could be translated men, men and women, or humankind. ii. In verse 1 of chapter 2 Paul says to offer prayer on behalf of all anthropone. All people. Or as we said, all kinds of people. iii. However, here Paul uses the word ah-nair. This word does not refer to humankind, but specifically to adult males. iv. Paul is assigning a role for men within the church. So what was the role? v. That they pray. But we have to be careful here. We could conclude as I did earlier this week, that Paul was assigning prayer to men as their responsibility. However, I came to conclude as I continued to study, that it is not prayer that Paul is putting in the laps of men within the church. Rather… it is that they be a certain kind of pray – er. vi. The next three statements begin to prove that that is exactly what Paul is saying. c. [Slide 4] In every place i. Not only is the kind of prayer not limited, nor the subject of the prayer not limited, but the location of the prayer is not limited either. ii. Now certainly this could mean that there is no place that prayer ought not be offered, but most likely what Paul means by “in every place” is in every assembly – in every house church – and specifically, in every meeting. iii. Although the text is not clear on the matter, this is the first of several clues that Paul has a worship service in mind as he provides these gender roles. iv. Meaning that what is said here may have application to every day life certainly… but it has heightened and special application within a worship context as the assembly gathers together. v. This is the reason why I had to retreat from my conclusion that Paul was assigning prayer in a public worship service, only to men. Because in other contexts, Paul gives instruction for women praying and prophesying in a church service – and how they are to do it. vi. Once again, Paul is not saying only men can pray, rather, he is saying only certain kinds of men can pray. vii. So, Paul’s first gender role assignment for the kind of male pray-er he is looking for is the same for every church in the whole of God’s Kingdom. viii. Men, when they publicly pray, should be the same in every church. d. [Slide 5] Lifting up holy hands i. This too gives us a clue as to the worship service nature of this. A common posture of worship was to lift up hands in praise. ii. Holy hands is a figure of speech. It means to have clean hands or to have pure hands. Meaning of course, having a clean or pure heart. iii. As we approach God’s throne in prayer, we are to present ourselves there, as pure people. iv. Certainly, this cannot mean perfect – but it does mean godly. It does mean set apart. It does mean contrite. v. As we approach the throne of God to bring all kinds of prayers for all kinds of people– we must enter boldly – by the blood of the lamb – which washes us clean. vi. We must enter humbly, knowing that we are there because He made it possible for us to be there. vii. We must enter expectantly, knowing that God will give mercy and grace to us. viii. Approaching boldly does not mean flippantly. We ready ourselves, seek washing and mercy, and make our petitions known to our heavenly Father. ix. So Paul further narrows his gender role, that male pray-ers in every assembly, are to be certain kinds of pray-ers when they gather together to worship God. They should be holy men, godly men, devout men. e. [Slide 6] Without anger or dispute i. After specifying prayers being offered for all men, Paul may be coming back to the empty discussions and the endless speculations that no doubt contributed to frustration and anger among the people there. ii. Indeed, when Paul warned Timothy to squelch their teaching, he warned timothy of “certain men” iii. This may be the driving force behind why Paul is specifying the male gender in his instructions on the kind of pray-er that ought to pray in a worship service. iv. It is not that women could not benefit from or cannot achieve the same standard – it is instead that men within the church ARE held to this standard. v. They contextual clue that sealed this interpretation for me is when we look ahead into chapter 3, when Paul discusses Elders. Just like the qualifications for an Elder are not things that other Christians cannot or should not meet – but to be an Elder, you must meet them. vi. So, to be a man and publicly pray in the gathering of the assembly – these qualifications must be met. vii. As we offer our prayers up to God, we must do so without wrath or anger and without dispute or division. In all this, men are to be humble, setting aside differences, not needing to be right or vindicated, not using the time of prayer as a chance to monologue your own beliefs or your side, but praying for all kinds of people in all kinds of ways, out of selfless love. f. [Slide 7] Passage Truth: So, Paul instructs Timothy as to certain roles within the worship service according to gender and the expectations of that gender to fill those roles. This is based on his own personal desire, but being inspired of God to write this to Timothy – it is then by extension the desire of God to the order of His church. g. Passage Application: The first application then, is that Timothy must teach those men who publicly pray and intercede for all kinds of people in their public worship services, to be certain kinds of men. They should be qualified men. Being upright and devout men, not filled with anger or dissension. They must adopt a humble spirit about their dealings with one another so they may pray sincerely for all men. h. [Slide 8] Broader Biblical Truth: Zooming out from our text, we know that Paul has addressed similar concerns nearly 10 years prior. Interestingly enough he was in Ephesus at the time, addressing the roles of genders within worship services in Corinth. Now, 10 years later, the same issues are cropping up in Ephesus. God is a God of order, and has always had roles of particular genders in His worship, and corresponding expectations and qualifications for those roles to be filled. i. Broader Biblical Application: The obvious application is that we should not allow our culture to determine what those gender roles should be, or the qualifications imposed upon those who would fill them. So, for us, once again, it is not that women cannot pray in our church services, but rather, it is that if men are to pray in our public gatherings, they ought to be certain kinds of men. Men who are holy and devout, who keep their accounts short with others and are at peace. Men who pray in our services ought to be leaders. Not necessarily with an office or title, but in word and deed. Transition: [Slide 9(blank)] And so if this is the qualifications for men in the role of publicly praying, what gender role and subsequent qualifications does Paul have for women? II.) God has given certain expectations for each gender that wishes to fill a role in His worship, so women must be humble and submissive if they are to be a learner. (9-11) a. [Slide 10] 9 – likewise the women i. Verse 9 through 15 introduces several difficult and even controversial interpretations. ii. Immediately here in verse 9 we have one such difficult interpretation. iii. What does likewise mean? Obviously, it means “in the same way” but what is the same about what he is saying to women that he also said to men? iv. [Slide 11] Here are some options. 1. In the same way, women also are to pray a. Strengths – we already said that women prayed publicly too and that the qualifications for men are not unattainable for women. b. Weakness – the grammar is challenging. He desires men [to pray] an infinitive and there is an infinitive for women [to dress]. To fit a double infinitive in here would be awkward. Likewise, women to pray are to dress? 2. In the same way, I want this applied everywhere a. Strengths – this adds the dimension of this being a global church imperative b. Weaknesses – this seems to cherry pick one item out of a myriad… one that doesn’t seem to be the main thrust. 3. In the same way, I want women to conduct themselves a certain way in worship. a. Strengths – This fits the grammar much better – I desire (infinitive) likewise (infinitive) b. Weaknesses – it is not overtly said v. Of these the third makes most sense is that likewise is referring to Paul’s desire. His desire is for men who pray publicly to do so meeting certain qualifications. For women he also has a desire for them to conduct themselves in a certain way in a worship service. vi. The interesting thing is, that what follows is not the role they should fill, but rather qualifications for a role that Paul does not mention yet. vii. What are those qualifications? b. [Slide 12] Are to dress in suitable apparel with modesty and self-control i. First Paul expresses this positively. ii. Dressing in suitable apparel. What is this? It means orderly or well thought of. The apparel chosen by women in the church should be in order, and not out of place. iii. With modesty. What does that mean? It means bashfulness or reverence and awe. When someone is bashful, they avoid being the center of attention. So too is a woman dressing in modesty. It is adornment that seeks to blend in rather than to stick out. iv. And self-control. What does that mean? Sound minded or sober. Their adornment should be with restraint and subdued. v. The key points for godly women to consider in their choices for outward adornment are thus… 1. Is it well thought of, and not out of place? 2. Can I blend in while wearing this? 3. Is it restrained and muted? vi. There is a difference between uniformity and conformity. Paul is not advocating for a uniformity where all look the same. But he is advocating for conformity where none stick out. vii. Again, these are not things that men can disregard. However, these are specific qualifications levied on women to fulfil a yet to be named role. c. [Slide 13] Their adornment must not be with braided hair and gold or pearls or expensive clothing. i. Continuing on the theme, Paul has some negative aspects of adornment. ii. Negatively Paul references braided hair. What does this mean? This word is only used once in the New Testament. So, we do not have much to go on. However, we do understand this to be plaited or woven hair. Hair that takes a long time to do. Hair that is complicated and impressively different. iii. Gold and pearls are extremely valuable items for a woman to wear. And expensive clothing speaks for itself. iv. If we were to boil down all that Paul has said about what a woman ought to and ought not to adorn herself with – the primary thread is what? v. A woman ought not to adorn herself with anything that draws attention to her or her body. vi. This goes way beyond skirts being too short ladies. vii. You can dress to loud, too wealthy, too gaudy, to flowy, too showy and yes… too scantily. viii. Why? Because a worship service is for God. We are here for Him and not for you. ix. And certainly, expanding out of the context of a worship service – to some degree – this is still wise. Afterall, if your intent is to draw attention to yourself by what you wear, is this a pure intention? Ever? x. Obviously, this doesn’t mean that you cannot wear nice things or even occasionally wear jewelry. xi. Consider the negative aspects as application of the positive ones. You can braid your hair, but do it in such a way that it is well thought of, similar to others, and restrained. xii. You can wear jewelry, but do so in such a way that it is well thought of, to the same degree as others, and restrained. xiii. Instead, a woman should be concerned with what? d. [Slide 14] 10 – but with good deeds as is proper for women who profess reverence for God. i. Your adornment should reflect upon the one who you profess to revere. ii. No reverence and awe ought to come your way. iii. No. Faith, love, self-control, joy, peace, longsuffering, forgiveness, kindness, meekness, tenderheartedness – these are to be your adornments. As you represent Christ. iv. Just as a man with a grudge sticks out when praying, just as a man with a sinful lifestyle sticks out when praying, so a woman with certain kinds of adornment sticks out in worship. v. In worship if men and women are to fill certain roles, they must be holy, devout, and God honoring people, not vying for attention or their own way, but for God’s glory and other’s benefit. vi. But Paul has yet to mention the role women are filling in worship. To pray men must bear qualifications. So what role do these qualifications for women match up to? e. [Slide 15] 11 – A woman must learn quietly with all submissiveness. i. Friends we read this and radical feminism has taught us to recoil with disgust. ii. But I can tell you that the only people who recoiled in disgust upon reading this from Paul’s hand… were the men. iii. Here are two quotes from the common teaching of the day in regard to women and the teaching of the law. 1. “It would be better for the words of the Torah to be burned than to be entrusted to a woman.” 2. “The men came to learn, the woman came to hear” iv. Do you mean, Paul, that it is our responsibility to invite our wives, our daughters, our mothers, into our club? We have to bring them in… and… they MUST learn? Are you serious? v. Ladies – this is not slavery. This is freedom. vi. Women could not go to the synagogues! Women were not allowed be taught in the places of worship! Even in paganism, women were given roles as priestesses, but not to teach… They were used as sexual conduits to the gods. They were nothing more than religious prostitutes. vii. To teach a woman the ways of God? His person. His law. His character? viii. Truly God has included all kinds of people in His elect. He is breaking… down… walls. ix. But this role, of a learner, is not without qualification. And it goes back to what he has already said, of which dress is simply an application. x. To be quiet here does mean silence but it can also be speaking to a disposition or a heart. In other words, humility. A humble learner. Not interjecting or commenting excessively as a know it all… but rather quietly teachable. And in all submission. Meaning of course that you remain the learner, the student, and not more than that. xi. Paul’s desire for women… is to be theologians. xii. Quiet theologians. Submissive theologians. But theologians, nonetheless. xiii. Just as dress can make you stick out of the crowd, so does learning without being quiet and still and without submission. xiv. You can dress in such a way that you conform to all the rest, giving attention only to God and not to yourself. And you can learn in such a way that God is glorified and the teacher and authority figure is honored. xv. So Paul assigns the role of learner to women in the church. Not that men cannot learn – indeed many men are not qualified to teach. But women especially are assigned this role. The qualification is that they are not to be a distraction, by the way they dress or how much they speak, how loudly they interact, or how they treat the one teaching. xvi. Of course, Paul is not quite done explaining women’s role and their qualifications for it. Why does Paul assign this to women? Why is this necessary to say? Are there limitations? There is so much to talk about on this subject, but we simply cannot fit it in today. So we will separate it off to next week. Don’t worry, we’ll come back to this verse next week to review and even pick up some context. f. [Slide 16] Passage Truth: For now, Paul instructs Timothy that there are certain roles within the church that when assigned to certain genders, it comes with qualifications. It does not preclude the other gender from filling those roles, but for that gender those roles have certain expectations. g. Passage Application: Timothy must teach the women of his church to fill the role of learner. This is a freedom given to them, but a freedom with the qualification and expectation that they learn in such a way that they do not draw attention to themselves or away from their leaders, but to God and His glory. h. [Slide 17] Broader Biblical Truth: Zooming out from I Timothy, we know that this concept is reiterated in a couple other places in scripture. There is some background information that will help us to understand this concept more fully next week, but for now, we must see that this role is the role a woman is to fill in the church. And with that role comes certain qualifications and expectations i. Broader Biblical Application: So like Timothy and his church, we must also grant this role to women within our church, as well as place upon them the same expectations. Women ought to not stick out in a worship service, which would even include our Foundations time. This doesn’t mean they cannot speak, nor does it mean that they are less than men. It is simply a qualification for their role as a learner. You can’t be called a learner if you are speaking all the time. You can’t be called a learner if you are not allowing the teacher to speak. You can’t be a quiet and submissive learner while loudly demanding everyone look at you by the clothes you wear. You can, however, be a humble learner while demonstrating good works and devotion to God. Conclusion: [Slide 18 (blank)] My oh my have I stepped in it now! This is not a popular topic. And if you agree with that – just wait until next week. It gets even more fun. Still – here is the heart of the matter. God’s people ought to be selflessly pursuing the glory of God alone when they gather together to worship Him. And that is the thread that is consistent in this passage. [Slide 19 (end)] Men who pray in the services ought to do so in selfless love for God and others. Not waxing eloquent to attack or dismantle other’s opinions, but rather praying for men and women of all kinds to come to be born into the family of God and discipled to obey all his commands. They ought to be holy men, devout men, following God’s law and living a pure life. This ought to be the character of every man filling the public prayer role in a worship service. Women should praise the Lord that they have been given a new role within Christ’s Kingdom. A role of an active and engaged learner. No longer is the law withheld from them. And certainly, there are so many more freedoms coming in the kingdom of God. BUT – that does not mean the pendulum can swing too far. Women ought not to come to any gathering of God’s church to get people to pay attention to them. For any reason. Whether it is because of how they dress, or how much they know. Can women be theologians that could run circles around some men? You better believe it – but Paul’s expectation of them is, that even if that is the case, no one would ever know. Women are given quite the responsibility here – to learn and grow quietly and in submission. A high calling indeed. As we look to the roles in the church and the qualifications and expectations placed on people who fill those roles, we must understand that God is a God of order. And certainly, these roles and even these expectations can cross over to some degree – but we must also remember who the bible has expressly levied these expectations and roles upon and we should hold them accountable to those expectations. Men – to fill a public prayer role, you must be holy and selflessly loving.

Today, we see the launch of a new phase in the spread of our faith. I also want to be sure to note that this phase was launched when the Jerusalem council, here in chapter 15, made a great decision, which was the culmination of the discussion and debate that was started in yesterday's reading about what it takes to become a Christian church member - remember, we are differentiating between being a church member and a recipient of God's Grace. God is clear - accept that Jesus lived the life we couldn't live, a sinless life, and then died the death that we should have died, as a punishment for our sin, and then He rose from the grave, hung out with and taught hundreds of people some final things, and then went up into heaven to be with God again. That's all it takes to be saved by God. In the church's terms, they are wrestling with what they want that ‘marker' to be, what's the initiation element that separates those inside the faith from those outside the faith for the sake of joining the church. And, they made a great choice in chapter 15 - and I love the person who finally steps up to push this through for this early church - James. Think about James for a second...one of my favorite pastors, Andy Stanley, harps on this idea constantly, and I love it - James, a brother of Jesus, comes to believe that his brother is the savior of the world. I mean, what would it take for someone you know, let alone a sibling, to convince you that He is the savior of the world? That, in-and-of-itself is a huge plug for the validity of these gospels and these manuscripts that make up the New Testament. But, we'll talk about that more when we get there. The major thing that is happening as we turn to chapter 15 and then carry the book of Acts forward to its close is that we see Paul launching this faith movement way out beyond the bounds of Jerusalem, and he carries it out into the rest of the world. And I want to touch on 2 things that he does that I think are so important, that are repeatedly referenced throughout the last half Acts. First - Paul reason leans into this idea that logic and reason actually are supportive of our faith. Paul is the first person that really see demonstrating that science and faith don't have to clash. Even today, most people allow themselves to adopt this false dichotomy that we either have to believe in God or believe in science - not so! It is amazing what you can find it you take a little time to look for science that supports what we believe as Christians. There are smart people, scientists, philosophers, astrologers, etc. that have come to the conclusion that our faith is supported by science and reason. We can be reassured that we can approach science with a curiosity, and with a genuine desire for truth...we don't have to be on the defense all of the time. Second - Paul demonstrates that the purpose of our behaving, or our ‘goodness', isn't to win God's Grace, it is to gain influence in this world. Paul shows us that our behavior is our outward-facing evidence of our faith. We should leverage the way we are, the person we become, and our behavior in general to gain influence on those around us - influence we can then use to expose them to the message of our faith. People outside of the faith typically come into the faith because of the influence of someone they know...Paul knows this, and he teaches us to use this to our advantage. If our behavior is perceived as anything other than an invitation, as condemnation, then we are doing it wrong. I love these reminders this morning - such powerful ideas!

This week Aaron wanted to discuss the concept of doing whatever makes you happy is ok to do.  We hear from everyone that you must do what you need to do to be happy - but is this sound advice?  While Aaron brings up this conversation and thinks it might be simplistic of course it can't be.  First Paul and Josh debate the meaning of happiness, pleasure, and joy.  Then we discuss is it possible to be selfish with your time and energy and is it ok to be selfish in this regard?  Also a week wouldn't be complete without Josh going on a tangent about the environment, electric cars, and electric motorcycles.  

Healing The Heart - God Loved Us First - Paul Nichols - 09 - 01 - 19 by Border City Church

Romans 1:16 As one surveys the last two thousand years of Church history, one will see that sadly, anti-Semitism has plagued its ranks at every juncture, hiding beneath the thinly clad veneer of theology so-called. Replacement theology—the belief that the Church has replaced national Israel (the Jewish people) in becoming the new inheritors of the promises given specifically to Israel in the Tanakh—has caused an arrogance to arise in the Christian Church (comprising largely of Gentile believers) of which the Apostle Paul warned against in the eleventh chapter of the book of Romans; “Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee” (Rom. 11:18). In this sermon teaching, the biblical foundation is laid and the mandate given us by God’s word, to take the gospel into all the world, first to the Jewish people and then to the Gentile.  May God give us again a burden for Jewish mission!  This sermon was shared at the 2019 Messianic Testimony West Midlands Rally.  For further information and to support the work of Messianic Testimony, please visit: https://www.messianictestimony.com/

It is increasingly difficult in today’s word to be a good man. In the eyes of many in our culture, manhood is in a tailspin. Technology that replaces labor, the feminist movement and other social trends has produced a steady decline of the view of true manhood. The media and our culture engage in a subtle undermining of reputation of men. Manhood is under attack. Being a true man in our world is a difficult job. It requires courage and determination, because being a true Godly man is to go against our culture. Men in our culture are searching for what it means to be a man because that definition has been blurred and changed by many years of assault by the enemy. As Godly men, we look to the bible for God’s definition of what it means to be a man. Our text contains four concepts that define what it means to be a man. First Paul said to watch. He means to be alert, awake and concerned about where we are at all times. There are many enemies who will come at us. Paul was reminding us to be ever vigilant to remain focused on the most important things in life. We must watch ourselves; our minds and what we allow to come into our mind. When secondary issues become more important than the primary issues, we are in trouble. Our walk with God is chief among these primary issues. We must watch over our house. We must watch what comes in and what we allow to go on in our house. We have to watch against the subtle things that creep in; the temptation that come daily. A true man is one that is watchful about what truly matters. Second Paul said that we must stand fast in the faith. To stand fast is a military term meaning to keep rank; to stay in step with the other soldiers. To be a true man, we have to learn how to keep in step and continue on in the face of adversity. Third Paul reminds us to act like men. It means be courageous in the face of battle. Do not flinch or turn away when facing the enemy. It speaks of a mature stability. God is calling for men who will hold on when it is easier to give up. FInally Paul encourages us to be strong. This is not physical strength, but spiritual strength. What makes a man strong is when he can look at temptation and say no and walk away from it. To become strong in spirit is to become strong in life. We have to be strong enough to close the door that will lead us down the path to where we do not need to be. True manhood is not defined by our culture. God defines true manhood and that has not changed. It take courage for men to be Godly men.

Matthew 6:19-34 When demanded of the Pharisees, “when the kingdom of God should come”, Jesus responded by saying: “The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:  Neither shall they say, Lo here! Or, lo there! For behold, the kingdom is within you” (Lk. 17:20-21).  If indeed it be the case that the King of kings has come to establish His kingdom in the hearts of men and to take His seat upon the throne of our lives, what ought to be the response of the Christian?  Well the words of our Lord come to mind:  “Not my will, but thine be done”.  Could it be that the root of the cause of so little growth in the lives of professing believers is that this very issue of the kingdom of God has not even been considered let alone embraced? As a new year has dawned, this sermon is an exhortation and call for Christians to set in order, first things first for 2017.  A divided heart given over to the riches and cares of this world, will always and forever be a stumbling block to the growth and expansion of the kingdom of God in the life of a Christian.  At all costs a way must be cleared for the King to rule and reign!! 

As we come to the end of another year, we tend to look both back and ahead. For some the past year has not been the best. Of all of God’s creation, only humans are conscious of time. Our lives are controlled by time and we are conscious that time has a meaning and a purpose. Every day that comes to the cow or the bird is just like the one before. But you and I know about time and are usually looking forward to something new. God’s purpose for our life is not in the past. In these times of reflection, there are many things that can affect our thinking. Bro. Hughes notes that tonight is a good night to let some things go and to focus our mind and thinking to properly frame our approach to the new year. Paul writing to the church at Philippi explains that he is not perfect. Of all the people we read about in the bible, Paul stands out for his faith and his relationship with God. But he says here that he has not reached the place that he needed to be. No matter how old we are, there is something that God can do in us and through us to serve His purpose. There are three things in this text that we need to embrace and have in our thinking as we look to the new year. First Paul says that he had not yet obtained what it is that God had for him. He was still trying to understand that thing that had reached out and grabbed him those many years ago on his way to Damascus. It is critical that we continue to search for God’s purpose in our life. Secondly, Paul talks about forgetting about those things in the past. The word used in the Greek means “to let go” and to “move away.” God said it is time to let go of some stuff that is behind us. When Paul made that statement he was talking about things that were both good and bad. No matter how much he had done in the past, it was in the past and he had to let it go. No matter how good it was in the past, there are better things in the future. Good or bad, we cannot live in the past. Our life shouldn’t be defined by what was, but by what will be. Weather good or bad, let it go and look to the future. Finally Paul says that he is reaching out. The word used is that of an athlete reaching for the finish line. He was not satisfied with what he had, and was reaching for more. As the year draws to a close, it is time to reflect on what has happened, but more importantly, to plan to reach for more in the year to come.

SUBMISSION IS THE RULECol. 3:18 22 "Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord. Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them. Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord. Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged. Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God."There are five areas in which submission is to take place. No one is submitted Spiritually to the Lord without the proof of it in practical life. First Paul says . . .WIVES SUBMIT TO YOUR OWN HUSBANDSThe word "wives" translates "gune" and means, "a woman of any age, whether a virgin, or married, or a widow." It can refer to a woman who is betrothed. Here it is certainly referring to a married woman because she is told who to submit to. The word "own" translates "idios" (Looks a lot like our word idiot!) pertaining to one's self, one's own, belonging to one's self." I can just hear some woman asking, "Do you mean Jesus commands me to submit to that idiot?!"The word "submit" translates "hupotasso" and means, "to arrange under, to subordinate." The following explanation is also given in Strong's Dictionary in Online Bible: "A Greek military term meaning ‘to arrange [troop divisions] in a military fashion under the command of a leader. In non military use, it was ‘a voluntary attitude of giving in, cooperating, assuming responsibility, and carrying a burden.'" When I was in the military on two different occasions, I experienced this definition as I voluntarily submitted to the authority of anyone whose rank was higher than mine. The military is built on the system of authority. And there is a penalty exercised on those who are not willing to submit respectfully to that authority.Paul instructs the wives in proper submission to their husbands. This is the Holy Spirit's word on this subject. It is the role of the woman from creation to be in submission to her husband. Peter gave the same kind of instructions in 1 Peter 3:1 6: "Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives; While they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear. Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel; But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price. For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection unto their own husbands: Even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters ye are, as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with any amazement."Paul and Peter are by no means putting the woman down as we would call it. He is just saying that God had a purpose in mind when He created the woman and in this life, to be right with His purpose in creation, the woman must submit to the authority of her husband. This is what he means when he says, "as it is fit in the Lord." Next He says . . .HUSBANDS LOVE YOUR WIVESThe word "husbands" translates "aner" and means, "a male or a betrothed husband." This word is also used to distinguish an adult man from a boy. The word "love" translates "agapao" and when it is used of persons it means, "to welcome, to entertain, to be fond of, to love dearly." This is a verb and is a present active imperative. The present tense means to continue to love them. The imperative mood is a command that expresses urgency. Stress is on the importance of the husband loving his wife dearly, thus making her task of submission to his authority a joy instead of a burden. The husband is under orders to love his wife and if he does not,

Turning again toward contemporary Biblical studies, Fr. Gabriel swiftly surveys recent research into Jesus and Paul and then turns to one representative volume in current Pauline studies—The First Paul by John Dominic Crossan and Marcus Borg. Their names may be familiar as members of the controversial Jesus seminar, but this book is quite accessible, very well-written, and the authors give us clear and simple insights into how Paul is currently viewed in scholarly circles.
