It’s time to grow up! When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child; when I became an adult, I put an end to childish ways. 1 Corinthians 13:11
Three Questions What is society’s view of women? (Men specifically) What is God’s view of women? What are some practical things I can do to begin to have God’s view of women?
c Society’s view
Society’s view Women are not people, they are object’s to be bought and sold and then discarded.
God’s view of women I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.” John 13: 34-35
God’s view of women Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayers. 1 Peter 3:7
Growing up means we must: Honor women and put them in places of honor. Use our strength to serve and protect, not to be served. Understand they are a daughter of God and their Heavenly Father will hold us accountable
Practical things we must do: We need to filter what we watch or listen to. We need to change our scene. Do not be misled: “Bad company corrupts good character.” 1 Corinthians 15:33 We need to meditate on scripture.
Meditate on Scripture Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you. Philippians 4:8-9
