QUOTE Mohammed Ali “When we finally arrived, the chauffeur escorted my younger sister, Laila, and me up to my father’s suite. As usual, he was hiding behind the door waiting to scare us. We exchanged many hugs and kisses as we could possibly give in one day. My father took a good look at us. Then he sat me down on his lap and said something that I will never forget.
QUOTE Mohammed Ali He looked me straight in the eyes and said, “Hana, everything that God made valuable in the world is covered and hard to get to. Where do you find diamonds? Deep down in the ground, covered and protected. Where do you find pearls? Deep down at the bottom of the ocean, covered up and protected in a beautiful shell.
QUOTE Mohammed Ali Where do you find gold? Way down in the mine, covered over with layers and layers of rock. You’ve got to work hard to get to them.” He looked at me with serious eyes. “Your body is sacred. You’re far more precious than diamonds and pearls, and you should be covered too.” www.therundown.tv/headlines/just-in/muhammad-ali-gives-the-best-fatherly-advice-to-his-young-daughters/

MEMBERSHIP CLASS • Saturday, August 16 – 9 a.m. – 1 p.m. • Saturday, August 23 – 9 a.m. – 1 p.m.
THE REASON 1 TIM 2:13-15
1 TIM 2:13 • For Adam was formed first, then Eve.
GAL 3:28 • There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
1 TIM 2:14 • And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner.
QUOTE We think that Satan’s main target was not Eve’s peculiar gullibility (if she had one), but rather Adam’s headship as the one ordained by God to be responsible for the life of the garden. Satan’s subtlety is that he knew the created order God had ordained for the good of the family, and he deliberately defied it by ignoring the man and taking up his dealing with the woman. (Piper and Grudem, Recovering Biblical Manhood and Womanhood, pg. 73)
QUOTE Satan put her in the position of spokesman leader, and defender. At that moment both the man and the woman slipped from their innocence and let themselves be drawn into a pattern of relating that to this day has proved destructive. (Piper and Grudem, Recovering Biblical Manhood and Womanhood, pg. 73)
QUOTE In this case, the main point is not that man is undeceivable or that the woman is more deceivable; the point is that when God’s order of leadership is repudiated it brings damage and ruin. Men and women are both more vulnerable to error and sin when they forsake the order that God has intended. (Piper and Grudem, Recovering Biblical Manhood and Womanhood, pg. 73)
1 TIM 2:15 • But women will be saved through childbearing--if they continue in faith, love and holiness with propriety.
“SAVED THROUGH CHILDBIRTH” “A woman will find her greatest satisfaction and meaning in life, not in seeking the male role, but in fulfilling God’s design for her as wife and mother with all ‘faith, love, and holiness with propriety.’” The Bible Knowledge Commentary: An Exposition of the Scriptures by Dallas Seminary Faculty.
QUOTE In short, the question of where women may minister in the church of Jesus Christ is not a question of who is superior and who is inferior, who gets the “good work: and gets the “leftovers,” or who is “sexist” and who is “open-minded.” (Wayne House, Chapter 21: “Principles to Use in Establishing Women in Ministry,”Biblical Manhood and Womanhood, p. 363)
QUOTE It is of its very essence for both men and women, a question of submission to the Word of God. The would-be leader who is not submissive to the Bible’s warning against self-glorification and pride is not worthy to be a leader. The would-be leader who is not submissive to the Bible’s clear teaching against greed is not worthy to be leader. (Wayne House, Chapter 21: “Principles to Use in Establishing Women in Ministry,”Biblical Manhood and Womanhood, p. 363)
