00:00:01.560 --> 00:00:04.260
This program is made
possible by the giving
2
00:00:04.260 --> 00:00:08.310
of the God called partners
of Renner Ministries.
3
00:00:08.310 --> 00:00:11.550
Get ready for a teaching
that feeds your spirit
4
00:00:11.550 --> 00:00:15.120
and your mind, where the
word is the anchor in
5
00:00:15.120 --> 00:00:17.070
uncertain times
6
00:00:17.070 --> 00:00:20.370
and doctrine doesn't bend to culture.
7
00:00:20.370 --> 00:00:21.810
We keep it simple,
8
00:00:21.810 --> 00:00:26.370
but dive deep revealing a
truth that strengthens us,
9
00:00:27.240 --> 00:00:28.860
a love that emboldens,
10
00:00:30.270 --> 00:00:32.430
and a mission that touches the world.
11
00:00:34.800 --> 00:00:36.300
Let's join Rick Renner.
12
00:00:38.280 --> 00:00:39.420
Welcome to today's program.
13
00:00:39.420 --> 00:00:40.710
My name is Rick Renner
14
00:00:40.710 --> 00:00:43.740
and I've been sitting right here just waiting for the clock
15
00:00:43.740 --> 00:00:47.250
to strike so we could begin our time together.
16
00:00:47.250 --> 00:00:49.890
And today we're gonna
continue the new series,
17
00:00:49.890 --> 00:00:53.400
which is called What the Bible Says About Relationships.
18
00:00:53.400 --> 00:00:55.740
And in this series we're
covering a whole gamut
19
00:00:55.740 --> 00:00:57.330
of relationships.
20
00:00:57.330 --> 00:00:58.620
And today we're going to begin
21
00:00:58.620 --> 00:01:02.790
to see in 1 Peter 3:1, what God has
22
00:01:02.790 --> 00:01:06.870
to say to women about their role as wives.
23
00:01:06.870 --> 00:01:09.180
And it's going to be very, very helpful.
24
00:01:09.180 --> 00:01:12.360
So please stay with me
all the way to the end.
25
00:01:12.360 --> 00:01:15.690
And I'm not gonna be giving
you my advice, I'm going
26
00:01:15.690 --> 00:01:18.390
to be giving you what the Bible says.
27
00:01:18.390 --> 00:01:20.700
But this series is called. What the Bible says about
28
00:01:20.700 --> 00:01:22.080
Relationships.
29
00:01:22.080 --> 00:01:25.200
It comes with a study
guide that is just loaded
30
00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:27.630
with everything that is in the series.
31
00:01:27.630 --> 00:01:29.460
I really love the study guides
32
00:01:29.460 --> 00:01:32.760
because they're filled with
everything in the series
33
00:01:32.760 --> 00:01:34.440
and you can read it while you're seeing
34
00:01:34.440 --> 00:01:36.000
or hearing the series.
35
00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:39.870
And it is a scientific fact
that when you see her hear
36
00:01:39.870 --> 00:01:42.900
and read at the same time,
it's like a double whammy.
37
00:01:42.900 --> 00:01:45.270
It really gets this information
38
00:01:45.270 --> 00:01:47.730
and revelation down deep inside you.
39
00:01:47.730 --> 00:01:49.200
And we need to know
40
00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:52.950
what the Bible says about relationships.
41
00:01:52.950 --> 00:01:54.510
Wow, this is so important.
42
00:01:54.510 --> 00:01:57.060
And we're also offering you now my book,
43
00:01:57.060 --> 00:01:59.760
which is called the RIV, it is the Green Volume
44
00:01:59.760 --> 00:02:01.590
of 1st & 2nd Peter.
45
00:02:01.590 --> 00:02:03.930
Their 1st volume was James and Jude,
46
00:02:03.930 --> 00:02:06.840
but now Vol.II is ready for you.
47
00:02:06.840 --> 00:02:09.420
It is a parallel study
Bible for people of faith.
48
00:02:09.420 --> 00:02:13.440
So if you consider yourself
to be a person of faith,
49
00:02:13.440 --> 00:02:17.250
here is the study Bible
you've been waiting for.
50
00:02:17.250 --> 00:02:19.560
And this is 1st & 2nd Peter.
51
00:02:19.560 --> 00:02:23.400
This is not a translation,
this is an interpretation.
52
00:02:23.400 --> 00:02:26.490
But the real treasure is
not just in the RIV itself,
53
00:02:26.490 --> 00:02:27.900
but it's in the footnotes
54
00:02:27.900 --> 00:02:31.470
and the commentary, which is
going to bring insights to you
55
00:02:31.470 --> 00:02:33.840
that you have never heard before.
56
00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:38.250
And it will make these verses
really come alive for you,
57
00:02:38.250 --> 00:02:39.570
and I want you to have it,
58
00:02:39.570 --> 00:02:42.450
but you can order all these
things by going online
59
00:02:42.450 --> 00:02:44.700
or by simply giving us a call.
60
00:02:44.700 --> 00:02:47.700
And when you reach out to us,
tell us how to pray for you.
61
00:02:47.700 --> 00:02:50.880
We're told in Jeremiah 33:3 - and I believe it -
62
00:02:50.880 --> 00:02:53.970
Call into me, I'll hear you, I'll answer you,
63
00:02:53.970 --> 00:02:56.820
and I'll show you great and mighty things.
64
00:02:56.820 --> 00:02:58.590
And when you call the number on the screen
65
00:02:59.440 --> 00:03:02.500
or send an email to that
email address, as soon
66
00:03:02.500 --> 00:03:05.860
as we hear from you, we're
going to get into agreement
67
00:03:05.860 --> 00:03:08.230
with Jeremiah 33:3, we're gonna call out
68
00:03:08.230 --> 00:03:09.610
to God in faith.
69
00:03:10.450 --> 00:03:14.080
He is going to hear us,
he's going to respond.
70
00:03:14.980 --> 00:03:19.120
And Jesus is gonna do exactly
what needs to be done.
71
00:03:19.120 --> 00:03:22.210
And by the way, you may not even know what needs to be done,
72
00:03:22.210 --> 00:03:24.700
but he knows exactly
what needs to be done.
73
00:03:24.700 --> 00:03:26.560
He's got it all figured out.
74
00:03:26.560 --> 00:03:29.110
And we'll call out to him
in faith, he will respond
75
00:03:29.110 --> 00:03:31.450
and he'll do what needs to be done.
76
00:03:31.450 --> 00:03:35.800
Exactly in your situation - say Amen.
77
00:03:35.800 --> 00:03:37.030
Hey, reach for your Bible
78
00:03:37.030 --> 00:03:40.450
and turn to 1st Peter 2.
79
00:03:40.450 --> 00:03:42.370
And today we're gonna very quickly review
80
00:03:42.370 --> 00:03:46.690
what we covered yesterday
beginning in verse 17.
81
00:03:46.690 --> 00:03:50.350
And in 1st Peter 2:17, Peter begin
82
00:03:50.350 --> 00:03:53.530
to address a wide gamut of relationships.
83
00:03:53.530 --> 00:03:57.880
And in verse 17, in the King
James Version, Peter said,
84
00:03:57.880 --> 00:04:00.310
honor all men love the
brotherhood, fear God
85
00:04:00.310 --> 00:04:02.290
and honor the king.
86
00:04:02.290 --> 00:04:05.740
The RIV says it like this - Esteem, honor
87
00:04:05.740 --> 00:04:07.840
and value everyone.
88
00:04:07.840 --> 00:04:12.520
And that really means
everyone with no one excluded.
89
00:04:12.520 --> 00:04:16.330
You must love the brotherhood
with a profound love
90
00:04:16.330 --> 00:04:19.450
and hold them in the highest admiration.
91
00:04:19.450 --> 00:04:23.080
You must fear God, always holding him in awe,
92
00:04:23.080 --> 00:04:24.580
respect and reverence.
93
00:04:24.580 --> 00:04:28.060
And it is essential
that you esteem, respect
94
00:04:28.060 --> 00:04:32.260
and hold in high regard the king. Wow -
95
00:04:32.260 --> 00:04:33.790
that was a tall order
96
00:04:33.790 --> 00:04:36.730
because the king was Nero who was killing believers.
97
00:04:36.730 --> 00:04:40.660
And now Peter says, it is essential that you esteem, respect
98
00:04:40.660 --> 00:04:43.630
and hold in high regard the king. By the way,
99
00:04:43.630 --> 00:04:46.240
if their attitude toward the king was good,
100
00:04:46.240 --> 00:04:48.550
they probably would live a little longer.
101
00:04:48.550 --> 00:04:51.100
But then we go to 1 Peter 2:18,
102
00:04:51.100 --> 00:04:53.920
where he addresses the subject of slavery,
103
00:04:53.920 --> 00:04:56.260
which we covered in yesterday's program.
104
00:04:56.260 --> 00:04:58.870
Now, the Bible never says slavery is right
105
00:04:58.870 --> 00:05:00.760
or slavery is good.
106
00:05:00.760 --> 00:05:04.660
But in the Roman Empire there
were about 20 million slaves.
107
00:05:04.660 --> 00:05:06.280
There were people born into slavery,
108
00:05:06.280 --> 00:05:08.290
there were people sold into slavery.
109
00:05:08.290 --> 00:05:10.510
It was a status that was unchangeable
110
00:05:10.510 --> 00:05:12.970
unless you pleased your master
111
00:05:12.970 --> 00:05:15.580
and if you pleased your master
112
00:05:15.580 --> 00:05:18.040
and if you had a favorable
heart toward you,
113
00:05:18.040 --> 00:05:20.350
he could grant you your freedom.
114
00:05:20.350 --> 00:05:22.600
And then you would be called a freed man,
115
00:05:22.600 --> 00:05:26.620
which means you were no
longer living as a slave.
116
00:05:26.620 --> 00:05:28.000
Well, Peter wants everybody
117
00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:30.040
to have all the freedom they can have.
118
00:05:30.040 --> 00:05:33.280
And so he tells slaves to get
along well with their masters
119
00:05:33.280 --> 00:05:35.530
because it will be better for them.
120
00:05:35.530 --> 00:05:38.380
So listen to what he says in 1 Peter 2:
121
00:05:38.380 --> 00:05:42.730
18 - Servants be subject to your masters with all fear,
122
00:05:42.730 --> 00:05:46.480
not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward.
123
00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:49.150
You know, we can all submit to somebody that's easy
124
00:05:49.150 --> 00:05:53.020
to get along with or somebody that celebrates us.
125
00:05:53.020 --> 00:05:55.600
But what if you're serving somebody that's difficult?
126
00:05:55.600 --> 00:05:57.710
What do you do in that case?
127
00:05:57.710 --> 00:06:01.370
Well, there were slaves that were serving good slave owners.
128
00:06:01.370 --> 00:06:04.040
They were good. Those slave owners loved them
129
00:06:04.040 --> 00:06:05.570
and celebrated them.
130
00:06:05.570 --> 00:06:08.630
But some slaves were stuck in relationships
131
00:06:08.630 --> 00:06:11.900
that were really horrible with masters that were abusive
132
00:06:11.900 --> 00:06:14.660
and they couldn't change the situation
133
00:06:14.660 --> 00:06:16.550
because they were slaves.
134
00:06:16.550 --> 00:06:21.020
So Peter's telling them how to thrive in a bad situation.
135
00:06:21.020 --> 00:06:25.310
And here is the RIV of 1 Peter 2:18 -
136
00:06:25.310 --> 00:06:27.080
Household servants,
137
00:06:27.080 --> 00:06:31.310
it is essential to recognize those with authority over you
138
00:06:31.310 --> 00:06:34.880
and to respectfully align yourself under them
139
00:06:34.880 --> 00:06:37.100
with a submissive attitude.
140
00:06:37.100 --> 00:06:40.190
And in this right respectful attitude,
141
00:06:40.190 --> 00:06:41.990
you must demonstrate your reverence
142
00:06:41.990 --> 00:06:46.100
for your masters whose legal
authority over you is real
143
00:06:46.100 --> 00:06:48.050
and unquestioned.
144
00:06:48.050 --> 00:06:51.110
Peter doesn't say that is right - he's just stating a fact.
145
00:06:51.110 --> 00:06:54.530
Their legal authority over them was real and unquestioned.
146
00:06:54.530 --> 00:06:59.390
And the RIV continues to say - This not only applies
147
00:06:59.390 --> 00:07:02.630
to the masters who are good, equitable, fair, gentle,
148
00:07:02.630 --> 00:07:05.480
just kind, mild and moderate
149
00:07:05.480 --> 00:07:07.940
and who celebrate your service to them,
150
00:07:07.940 --> 00:07:11.390
but it also means you must
be respectful to masters
151
00:07:11.390 --> 00:07:16.390
who are bent, crooked,
perverse, unfair or warped.
152
00:07:17.060 --> 00:07:18.740
We are Christians
153
00:07:18.740 --> 00:07:22.040
and it doesn't matter what
situation we find ourself in,
154
00:07:22.040 --> 00:07:26.600
we are expected by God
to behave like Christians,
155
00:07:26.600 --> 00:07:29.870
and Christians are never
called upon to be rude
156
00:07:29.870 --> 00:07:31.910
and to be disrespectful.
157
00:07:31.910 --> 00:07:34.190
But now we're gonna go to 1st Peter 3:1
158
00:07:34.190 --> 00:07:37.520
where Peter begins to address wives.
159
00:07:37.520 --> 00:07:39.020
Now let me give you a little background.
160
00:07:39.020 --> 00:07:41.270
By this time, Peter was an old man
161
00:07:41.270 --> 00:07:43.160
and most scholars agree
162
00:07:43.160 --> 00:07:47.570
that Peter probably had been
married more than 50 years.
163
00:07:47.570 --> 00:07:51.380
50 years is quite a record of marriage.
164
00:07:51.380 --> 00:07:54.170
Most people in the Roman empire lived to be in their 40's
165
00:07:54.170 --> 00:07:56.300
or their mid 40's, maybe 50.
166
00:07:56.300 --> 00:07:58.400
But Peter lived to be a very, very old man
167
00:07:58.400 --> 00:08:02.150
and was married more than 50 years.
168
00:08:02.150 --> 00:08:05.270
So now when Peter writes 1st Peter 3,
169
00:08:05.270 --> 00:08:07.160
he's not just speaking off the cuff,
170
00:08:07.160 --> 00:08:10.820
he's speaking from a
reservoir of experience, a man
171
00:08:10.820 --> 00:08:13.520
who has been married
to a wife that is happy
172
00:08:13.520 --> 00:08:17.000
and they've been married
more than 50 years.
173
00:08:17.000 --> 00:08:19.370
We know from 1 Corinthians 9,
174
00:08:19.370 --> 00:08:22.310
that his wife traveled with him in the ministry,
175
00:08:22.310 --> 00:08:24.410
which means she lived out of a suitcase.
176
00:08:24.410 --> 00:08:26.900
And yet she was a very happy wife.
177
00:08:26.900 --> 00:08:29.780
And in fact, we know from
early Christian writings
178
00:08:29.780 --> 00:08:32.720
that Peter and his wife
nearly died at the same time.
179
00:08:32.720 --> 00:08:36.350
She died first and he
encouraged her to be brave.
180
00:08:36.350 --> 00:08:39.650
They were partners all the way to the end.
181
00:08:39.650 --> 00:08:42.770
And so when Peter writes these verses, first of all,
182
00:08:42.770 --> 00:08:45.710
he's writing under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit.
183
00:08:45.710 --> 00:08:47.840
Secondly, he's writing from a reservoir
184
00:08:47.840 --> 00:08:52.010
of experience having been married to one woman who was happy
185
00:08:52.010 --> 00:08:54.170
for more than 50 years.
186
00:08:54.170 --> 00:08:56.280
But he begins speaking to women
187
00:08:56.280 --> 00:08:59.310
and it's very interesting
in this text, he speaks
188
00:08:59.310 --> 00:09:02.760
to the wives a lot more
than he speaks to the men.
189
00:09:02.760 --> 00:09:07.200
And it shows the power that
a wife has in the home.
190
00:09:07.200 --> 00:09:10.320
Wives, you have a lot of power,
191
00:09:10.320 --> 00:09:14.010
you can determine which direction
your home is going to go.
192
00:09:14.010 --> 00:09:18.090
And Peter speaks primarily to
the women, which lets us know
193
00:09:18.090 --> 00:09:21.450
how much power a wife has in the home.
194
00:09:21.450 --> 00:09:23.820
And he says in the King James Version,
195
00:09:23.820 --> 00:09:26.010
in 1st Peter 3:1,
196
00:09:26.010 --> 00:09:31.010
Likewise you wives, be in subjection to your own husbands
197
00:09:31.080 --> 00:09:33.120
that if any obey not the word,
198
00:09:33.120 --> 00:09:36.900
they may also without the word
be one by the conversation
199
00:09:36.900 --> 00:09:38.400
of the wives.
200
00:09:38.400 --> 00:09:40.680
Well, the fact is
201
00:09:40.680 --> 00:09:43.740
that in the 1st century when
people were coming to Christ,
202
00:09:43.740 --> 00:09:45.300
the people that were really coming
203
00:09:45.300 --> 00:09:49.920
to Christ in large numbers
were slaves and women
204
00:09:49.920 --> 00:09:52.770
and their husbands were not getting saved.
205
00:09:52.770 --> 00:09:55.410
So the wives were coming to
church, the wives were going
206
00:09:55.410 --> 00:09:58.620
to home group, the wives were
learning how to serve Jesus.
207
00:09:58.620 --> 00:10:01.410
The wives were now a part of
the church of Jesus Christ,
208
00:10:01.410 --> 00:10:02.760
the body of Christ.
209
00:10:02.760 --> 00:10:04.620
Their lives were being changed.
210
00:10:04.620 --> 00:10:07.740
They were being delivered from
demonic influences while they
211
00:10:07.740 --> 00:10:09.720
were living in the light.
212
00:10:09.720 --> 00:10:10.890
But when they went back home
213
00:10:10.890 --> 00:10:14.790
after church service, they
went home to a husband
214
00:10:14.790 --> 00:10:16.470
that was unsaved.
215
00:10:16.470 --> 00:10:18.420
So they were still married,
216
00:10:18.420 --> 00:10:22.770
but spiritually they were
no longer equally yoked.
217
00:10:22.770 --> 00:10:26.460
And the women found themselves
in a very difficult position.
218
00:10:26.460 --> 00:10:30.300
And very often in the 1st century, we know it for a fact,
219
00:10:30.300 --> 00:10:33.630
the women went home and tried to evangelize their husbands
220
00:10:33.630 --> 00:10:35.340
and they would preach at their husbands
221
00:10:35.340 --> 00:10:37.500
and preach at their husbands
and preach at their husbands
222
00:10:37.500 --> 00:10:39.030
and preach at their husbands.
223
00:10:39.030 --> 00:10:41.610
And the husbands did not like it.
224
00:10:41.610 --> 00:10:44.670
In fact, it had a very detrimental effect.
225
00:10:44.670 --> 00:10:45.720
And now Peter begins
226
00:10:45.720 --> 00:10:48.840
to address this whole scenario in verse 1.
227
00:10:48.840 --> 00:10:51.690
Maybe you're married to somebody you wish would change
228
00:10:51.690 --> 00:10:53.700
and you've been preaching
and preaching and preaching
229
00:10:53.700 --> 00:10:56.370
and preaching to them and it's not been working, well
230
00:10:56.370 --> 00:10:58.650
here's some advice. Look at verse 1.
231
00:10:58.650 --> 00:11:02.880
The RIV says - In the same way, servants are instructed
232
00:11:02.880 --> 00:11:07.530
to be submitted to their
masters, it is also essential
233
00:11:07.530 --> 00:11:12.120
for wives to recognize your
own husband's authority
234
00:11:12.120 --> 00:11:15.570
and to align yourself
under it with a respectful
235
00:11:15.570 --> 00:11:17.250
and submissive attitude.
236
00:11:17.250 --> 00:11:20.340
Now that is quite expanded
from the King James Version,
237
00:11:20.340 --> 00:11:22.530
which simply says, you
wives being subjection
238
00:11:22.530 --> 00:11:23.790
to your own husbands.
239
00:11:23.790 --> 00:11:26.610
But in the Greek text, there is so much,
240
00:11:26.610 --> 00:11:30.270
so many nuances which
we need to understand.
241
00:11:30.270 --> 00:11:34.560
For example, when it says - it is essential for wives
242
00:11:34.560 --> 00:11:38.010
to recognize your own husbands; this also is very important
243
00:11:38.010 --> 00:11:40.620
because in Greek the word your own means your own.
244
00:11:40.620 --> 00:11:43.050
It means that you're not
called upon to be submitted
245
00:11:43.050 --> 00:11:46.020
to every man or just any old husband.
246
00:11:46.020 --> 00:11:50.610
This is a direct instruction
about you and your spouse.
247
00:11:50.610 --> 00:11:52.980
That's all - you and your own husband.
248
00:11:54.310 --> 00:11:56.860
And it says that you are to
submit to their authority
249
00:11:56.860 --> 00:11:59.290
and align yourself under
it with a respectful
250
00:11:59.290 --> 00:12:01.480
and submissive attitude.
251
00:12:01.480 --> 00:12:03.430
What in the world does that mean?
252
00:12:03.430 --> 00:12:06.010
Well, I'm just gonna teach
you from the Greek text.
253
00:12:06.010 --> 00:12:07.750
I'm not gonna give you my opinion.
254
00:12:07.750 --> 00:12:10.090
I wanna teach you straight
from the scriptures.
255
00:12:10.090 --> 00:12:14.320
And we see in footnote No.497,
256
00:12:14.320 --> 00:12:16.390
The words "authority
257
00:12:16.390 --> 00:12:18.760
and to align yourself
under it with a respectful
258
00:12:18.760 --> 00:12:22.420
and submissive attitude" are interpreted from a form
259
00:12:22.420 --> 00:12:24.250
of the Greek word hupotasso.
260
00:12:24.250 --> 00:12:27.130
Now this is really, really important.
261
00:12:27.130 --> 00:12:29.920
It depicts recognition of
262
00:12:29.920 --> 00:12:34.150
and a submissive attitude
to established authority.
263
00:12:35.110 --> 00:12:37.390
It is a compound of 2 words: the word hupo,
264
00:12:37.390 --> 00:12:39.010
which means to be under,
265
00:12:39.010 --> 00:12:41.260
and the word tasso, which means
266
00:12:41.260 --> 00:12:44.470
to arrange in a predesigned order.
267
00:12:44.470 --> 00:12:48.490
The preposition hupo means under - linked together
268
00:12:48.490 --> 00:12:53.350
with tasso - signifies coming under the ordained authority
269
00:12:53.350 --> 00:12:54.970
of another.
270
00:12:54.970 --> 00:12:58.810
Furthermore, the word hupo can sometimes mean with,
271
00:12:58.810 --> 00:13:00.850
and in this case it means
272
00:13:00.850 --> 00:13:05.200
by arranging herself under God's designed marriage role,
273
00:13:05.200 --> 00:13:09.820
a wife forms a powerful bond with her husband.
274
00:13:09.820 --> 00:13:12.130
Sadly, many view
275
00:13:12.130 --> 00:13:15.940
the New Testament's bold assertion about a husband, wife,
276
00:13:15.940 --> 00:13:20.560
marriage as a fierce display of chauvinism
277
00:13:20.560 --> 00:13:23.800
asserted by agenda
driven egotistical males.
278
00:13:24.730 --> 00:13:28.480
This confusion most
often comes from holding
279
00:13:28.480 --> 00:13:31.930
to the grossly illogical
assumption that differences
280
00:13:31.930 --> 00:13:36.640
of roles equate to inferiority of value.
281
00:13:36.640 --> 00:13:39.430
That's not true. In truth,
282
00:13:39.430 --> 00:13:40.660
every facet
283
00:13:40.660 --> 00:13:44.320
of creation models different
roles working together
284
00:13:44.320 --> 00:13:48.700
for a singular good. From minute microorganisms
285
00:13:48.700 --> 00:13:52.630
to giant galaxies and everything else in between,
286
00:13:52.630 --> 00:13:57.630
varying roles are deliberately
linked in unison by design.
287
00:13:58.120 --> 00:14:02.650
And before the foundation of
the world, God saw both men
288
00:14:02.650 --> 00:14:06.220
and women of precisely equal value.
289
00:14:06.220 --> 00:14:11.220
He infused them both with unique aspects of his character
290
00:14:11.350 --> 00:14:15.970
and agreed to pay the same
invaluable price for both
291
00:14:15.970 --> 00:14:18.580
of their redemption - male and female.
292
00:14:18.580 --> 00:14:22.210
But here we find there is a predetermined design.
293
00:14:23.080 --> 00:14:25.780
And now Peter, a man who's been married
294
00:14:25.780 --> 00:14:28.030
for more than 50 years, a very successful marriage
295
00:14:28.030 --> 00:14:32.830
with a very happy wife says in the RIV -
296
00:14:32.830 --> 00:14:34.180
It is essential for wives
297
00:14:34.180 --> 00:14:37.210
to recognize your own husband's authority
298
00:14:37.210 --> 00:14:40.240
and to align yourself
under it with a respectful
299
00:14:40.240 --> 00:14:41.980
and submissive attitude.
300
00:14:41.980 --> 00:14:43.180
Being respectful
301
00:14:43.180 --> 00:14:46.390
and submissive is always gonna
get you in a better place.
302
00:14:46.390 --> 00:14:49.990
And then it goes on to say
in the King James Version
303
00:14:49.990 --> 00:14:51.950
that if any obey not the word,
304
00:14:51.950 --> 00:14:54.590
they may also without the word be won
305
00:14:54.590 --> 00:14:56.660
by the conversation of the wives.
306
00:14:56.660 --> 00:14:58.790
The RIV says it like this.
307
00:14:58.790 --> 00:15:02.210
This is so that - even those two words - so
308
00:15:02.210 --> 00:15:04.340
that, are very important; is the Greek word hina,
309
00:15:04.340 --> 00:15:06.320
which points to something.
310
00:15:06.320 --> 00:15:08.030
In other words, Peter is telling,
311
00:15:08.030 --> 00:15:09.230
there is a purpose to this.
312
00:15:09.230 --> 00:15:11.900
There's a reason for you to
be respectful in submission.
313
00:15:11.900 --> 00:15:13.610
It is so that -
314
00:15:13.610 --> 00:15:17.630
and now he tells us why - This is so that if -
315
00:15:17.630 --> 00:15:21.140
and the word if - in Greek assumes this is the case.
316
00:15:21.140 --> 00:15:23.660
So that if as the case probably is
317
00:15:25.070 --> 00:15:29.210
your husband lives in disobedience to the word, he may
318
00:15:29.210 --> 00:15:32.270
because of your attitude, behavior, conduct,
319
00:15:32.270 --> 00:15:36.710
and lifestyle, be cleverly won without you ever
320
00:15:36.710 --> 00:15:39.830
preaching a single word to him.
321
00:15:39.830 --> 00:15:42.110
And here we find a picture of husbands
322
00:15:42.110 --> 00:15:43.490
that are not Christians
323
00:15:43.490 --> 00:15:46.070
or Christian husbands
324
00:15:46.070 --> 00:15:48.920
that are living in
disobedience to the word.
325
00:15:48.920 --> 00:15:50.360
And the word disobedience
326
00:15:50.360 --> 00:15:54.080
that is used here is explained
in footnote No.500.
327
00:15:54.080 --> 00:15:56.690
And we find that it is a form of the Greek word,
328
00:15:56.690 --> 00:16:01.490
apeitheo which illustrates those who refuse to be persuaded
329
00:16:01.490 --> 00:16:03.800
and are therefore disobedient, rejecting,
330
00:16:03.800 --> 00:16:07.610
and willfully refusing to comply.
331
00:16:07.610 --> 00:16:08.960
These are husbands who've heard the
332
00:16:08.960 --> 00:16:10.430
word, they don't like the word.
333
00:16:10.430 --> 00:16:12.590
They refuse to be persuaded.
334
00:16:12.590 --> 00:16:14.540
They're disobedient, they're rejecting,
335
00:16:14.540 --> 00:16:18.890
they're willfully refusing
to comply to the word.
336
00:16:20.090 --> 00:16:22.790
And in footnote No.501, we read - The words
337
00:16:22.790 --> 00:16:26.690
"to the word" literally mean to the word of God,
338
00:16:26.690 --> 00:16:28.670
implying these particular husbands
339
00:16:28.670 --> 00:16:32.900
that Peter was referencing had
some knowledge of the word,
340
00:16:32.900 --> 00:16:35.570
but they were not living
in obedience to it.
341
00:16:35.570 --> 00:16:37.910
But the wives want them to
live in obedience to the word.
342
00:16:37.910 --> 00:16:40.070
So the wives are preaching to them.
343
00:16:40.070 --> 00:16:41.840
And Peter says, don't do that.
344
00:16:41.840 --> 00:16:43.550
He says, do this in order
345
00:16:43.550 --> 00:16:46.400
that if any husband lives
in disobedience to the word,
346
00:16:46.400 --> 00:16:50.990
he may because of your attitude, behavior, and conduct
347
00:16:50.990 --> 00:16:52.670
and lifestyle.
348
00:16:52.670 --> 00:16:53.900
And the words because
349
00:16:53.900 --> 00:16:57.140
of are explained in footnote No.502,
350
00:16:57.140 --> 00:17:00.050
and we find it as a translation of the preposition dia,
351
00:17:00.050 --> 00:17:01.910
which describes agency
352
00:17:01.910 --> 00:17:04.760
or instrumentality, which
brings a thing to pass,
353
00:17:04.760 --> 00:17:08.330
which means if wives behave
correct in this context
354
00:17:08.330 --> 00:17:11.300
because of them, they
will become the agent
355
00:17:11.300 --> 00:17:13.820
through which their
husbands will be changed.
356
00:17:13.820 --> 00:17:18.530
And he says, because of your
attitude, behavior, conduct,
357
00:17:18.530 --> 00:17:20.360
and lifestyle,
358
00:17:20.360 --> 00:17:24.830
he will be cleverly won without you ever preaching a single
359
00:17:24.830 --> 00:17:26.360
word to him.
360
00:17:27.200 --> 00:17:29.870
And the words "cleverly won"
361
00:17:29.870 --> 00:17:33.380
as we read in footnote No.504, are translation
362
00:17:33.380 --> 00:17:38.210
of the Greek word kerdaino, which means to cast the dice
363
00:17:38.210 --> 00:17:39.620
or to play lots.
364
00:17:39.620 --> 00:17:42.020
And here Peter is literally saying, women,
365
00:17:42.020 --> 00:17:45.320
if you play the game right, which means there's a wrong way
366
00:17:45.320 --> 00:17:50.100
to play the game, A wrong way is to nag; a wrong way is
367
00:17:50.100 --> 00:17:53.280
to pester; a wrong way is to preach and preach and preach
368
00:17:53.280 --> 00:17:54.450
and preach and preach and preach,
369
00:17:54.450 --> 00:17:55.830
which obviously we're reading from
370
00:17:55.830 --> 00:17:58.920
the text, is driving these husbands further and further
371
00:17:58.920 --> 00:18:01.530
and further and further away - it's not working.
372
00:18:01.530 --> 00:18:04.590
And Peter says - Hey ladies, there's a better way
373
00:18:04.590 --> 00:18:05.940
to play the game.
374
00:18:05.940 --> 00:18:07.830
There's a better way to roll the dice.
375
00:18:07.830 --> 00:18:10.020
That's literally what the Greek word means.
376
00:18:10.020 --> 00:18:13.170
And if you play the dice right, if you play the game right,
377
00:18:13.170 --> 00:18:16.410
you can win your husband - how -
378
00:18:16.410 --> 00:18:20.280
without you ever preaching a single
379
00:18:20.280 --> 00:18:21.930
word to him.
380
00:18:21.930 --> 00:18:24.360
Wow. Well,
381
00:18:24.360 --> 00:18:27.510
I know these wives had good intentions.
382
00:18:27.510 --> 00:18:29.130
They got saved.
383
00:18:29.130 --> 00:18:32.610
They were going to church,
they were speaking in tongues,
384
00:18:32.610 --> 00:18:34.770
they were filled with the Holy Spirit,
385
00:18:34.770 --> 00:18:36.810
they were experienced,
the freedom of the Lord.
386
00:18:36.810 --> 00:18:39.930
They wanted their husbands to have that.
387
00:18:39.930 --> 00:18:41.070
And now they're coming home
388
00:18:41.070 --> 00:18:42.840
and from a good heart,
389
00:18:42.840 --> 00:18:44.130
they're saying, honey, you need to change.
390
00:18:44.130 --> 00:18:45.480
Honey, would you please stop drinking?
391
00:18:45.480 --> 00:18:47.640
You don't need to drink. That's not good for you. Honey.
392
00:18:47.640 --> 00:18:48.690
you don't need to do this - honey,
393
00:18:48.690 --> 00:18:50.190
you don't need to do that - honey, you need to,
394
00:18:50.190 --> 00:18:51.900
you need to give your heart to Jesus.
395
00:18:51.900 --> 00:18:53.790
But these men were living in darkness.
396
00:18:53.790 --> 00:18:55.740
They didn't understand who was this woman
397
00:18:55.740 --> 00:18:56.910
who came home to them.
398
00:18:56.910 --> 00:18:59.730
This is not who they married
now, they were spiritually,
399
00:18:59.730 --> 00:19:01.110
unequally yoked.
400
00:19:01.950 --> 00:19:03.780
And the women were preaching and preaching
401
00:19:03.780 --> 00:19:04.920
and preaching and preaching.
402
00:19:04.920 --> 00:19:07.740
It was driving the husbands further away.
403
00:19:07.740 --> 00:19:11.460
And now Peter in essence says, women,
404
00:19:12.390 --> 00:19:14.670
the strongest message you have to preach
405
00:19:14.670 --> 00:19:17.550
to your husband is not what
comes outta your mouth.
406
00:19:17.550 --> 00:19:19.830
It's what you demonstrate with your heart
407
00:19:19.830 --> 00:19:21.300
and with your attitude.
408
00:19:21.300 --> 00:19:23.100
And it is the truth.
409
00:19:23.100 --> 00:19:26.910
The attitude of a wife is
the strongest sermon she
410
00:19:26.910 --> 00:19:28.530
will ever preach.
411
00:19:28.530 --> 00:19:30.360
And that's what Peter says in this verse.
412
00:19:31.290 --> 00:19:34.110
It says, because of your attitude,
413
00:19:34.110 --> 00:19:35.940
because of your behavior, your conduct
414
00:19:35.940 --> 00:19:39.300
and lifestyle, if you do what is right
415
00:19:39.300 --> 00:19:42.240
and if you keep a right
attitude toward your spouse,
416
00:19:42.240 --> 00:19:47.130
he will be cleverly won without you ever preaching a single
417
00:19:47.130 --> 00:19:48.600
word to him.
418
00:19:49.680 --> 00:19:53.010
And the verse goes on to say in the RIV - being respectful
419
00:19:53.010 --> 00:19:57.630
and submissive in your attitude toward him will enable you
420
00:19:57.630 --> 00:20:02.010
to win him without ever preaching to him.
421
00:20:02.010 --> 00:20:03.210
Now, this does not mean
422
00:20:03.210 --> 00:20:05.940
that wives cannot express their opinions
423
00:20:05.940 --> 00:20:08.430
or express their concerns.
424
00:20:08.430 --> 00:20:10.680
But you know, if you're married to a man
425
00:20:10.680 --> 00:20:15.090
that is doing wrong, maybe
he knows the word of God,
426
00:20:15.090 --> 00:20:17.340
he's already heard you speak to him,
427
00:20:17.340 --> 00:20:19.620
but he's resisting you,
he's not complying,
428
00:20:20.880 --> 00:20:21.960
and you just keep pushing
429
00:20:21.960 --> 00:20:23.310
and pushing and pushing and pushing.
430
00:20:23.310 --> 00:20:26.910
It will close a man's heart
and it will push him away.
431
00:20:26.910 --> 00:20:28.590
And now Peter speaking as a man
432
00:20:28.590 --> 00:20:31.110
that's been married more
than 50 years, he says
433
00:20:31.110 --> 00:20:33.210
to the ladies, ladies,
there's a way for you
434
00:20:33.210 --> 00:20:36.810
to win this game and you
will really cleverly win your
435
00:20:36.810 --> 00:20:41.370
husband if you just
demonstrate to him an attitude
436
00:20:41.370 --> 00:20:43.620
of respect or as the RIV says,
437
00:20:43.620 --> 00:20:46.260
because of your attitude,
your behavior, your conduct,
438
00:20:46.260 --> 00:20:47.470
and your lifestyle,
439
00:20:47.470 --> 00:20:52.360
he can cleverly be one
without you ever preaching
440
00:20:52.360 --> 00:20:54.790
a single word to him.
441
00:20:55.660 --> 00:20:58.990
Wow. He'll be so touched by your attitude
442
00:21:00.490 --> 00:21:04.240
that your attitude will
draw him close to you,
443
00:21:04.240 --> 00:21:05.680
and that's really what you want.
444
00:21:06.610 --> 00:21:09.430
We're at time, but I'll
be back in just a moment
445
00:21:09.430 --> 00:21:10.570
and I'm going to pray for you.
446
00:21:18.670 --> 00:21:20.050
Hey friends, this is Rick Renner
447
00:21:20.050 --> 00:21:24.910
and somebody has asked, What do I do if I feel stuck in life
448
00:21:24.910 --> 00:21:28.150
or if I feel like I'm falling behind?
449
00:21:28.150 --> 00:21:31.390
Well, sometimes we all
deal with those emotions.
450
00:21:31.390 --> 00:21:34.690
And when I feel like I'm
stuck in life, I go back
451
00:21:34.690 --> 00:21:38.710
to the original vision to see
if I'm really on track with
452
00:21:38.710 --> 00:21:41.410
what God has asked me to do.
453
00:21:41.410 --> 00:21:44.140
When you come to Philippians 3,
454
00:21:44.140 --> 00:21:48.010
the apostle Paul says - I do not count myself to obtain,
455
00:21:48.010 --> 00:21:49.720
but here's what I'm gonna do.
456
00:21:49.720 --> 00:21:51.130
I'm gonna forget what's behind.
457
00:21:51.130 --> 00:21:54.310
I'm gonna reach forth to
what is in front of me.
458
00:21:54.310 --> 00:21:57.040
But you can't reach to
what is in front of you
459
00:21:57.040 --> 00:21:58.540
unless you know where you're headed
460
00:21:58.540 --> 00:22:00.040
and you know what is your goal.
461
00:22:00.040 --> 00:22:01.540
So when I'm stuck
462
00:22:01.540 --> 00:22:04.840
or if I feel like I'm
falling behind, I go back
463
00:22:04.840 --> 00:22:08.350
to the original vision
to see am I on track with
464
00:22:08.350 --> 00:22:10.930
what the Lord has asked me to do?
465
00:22:10.930 --> 00:22:14.230
And if you will do that, the
Holy Spirit will help you
466
00:22:14.230 --> 00:22:16.360
to make any adjustments you need to make
467
00:22:16.360 --> 00:22:18.580
so you don't feel like you're stuck
468
00:22:18.580 --> 00:22:20.230
or like you're falling behind.

501
00:23:53.420 --> 00:23:55.010
Hey, this is Rick Renner,
502
00:23:55.010 --> 00:23:58.550
and today I'm in the Tulsa office
503
00:23:58.550 --> 00:24:01.760
and this is the conference
room or the board room.
504
00:24:01.760 --> 00:24:06.230
And this room is used all the
time for strategic planning
505
00:24:06.230 --> 00:24:08.690
for the gospel and for
the teaching of the Bible,
506
00:24:08.690 --> 00:24:11.030
which we're taking around the world.
507
00:24:11.030 --> 00:24:14.390
And all around this room we
have scriptures about wise
508
00:24:14.390 --> 00:24:16.400
counselor and wise planning.
509
00:24:16.400 --> 00:24:18.380
Of course, we have the great
commission on the screen
510
00:24:18.380 --> 00:24:22.010
behind us and we even have
photographs of all the Board
511
00:24:22.010 --> 00:24:25.280
of directors of Rick Renner
Ministries who are real board
512
00:24:25.280 --> 00:24:27.770
of directors and regularly provide us
513
00:24:27.770 --> 00:24:31.220
with the most wonderful
godly counsel and advice.
514
00:24:31.220 --> 00:24:33.260
But right now we're in the process
515
00:24:33.260 --> 00:24:36.620
of paying off this facility in Tulsa.
516
00:24:36.620 --> 00:24:41.030
And guess what? We've already paid off 81%
517
00:24:41.030 --> 00:24:42.500
of the whole project.
518
00:24:42.500 --> 00:24:44.990
And that is just amazing.
519
00:24:44.990 --> 00:24:47.090
If you consider how long
we've been doing this,
520
00:24:47.090 --> 00:24:49.040
it's really not that long.
521
00:24:49.040 --> 00:24:51.530
But because of the grace of God and
522
00:24:51.530 --> 00:24:53.330
because of people like you,
523
00:24:53.330 --> 00:24:57.020
we are really making significant progress.
524
00:24:57.020 --> 00:24:59.060
And when we're finished
paying off the debt on this
525
00:24:59.060 --> 00:25:01.850
building, it's gonna
release all these finances
526
00:25:01.850 --> 00:25:04.580
to help us take the teaching
of the Bible further
527
00:25:04.580 --> 00:25:06.980
to the ends of the earth.
528
00:25:06.980 --> 00:25:09.620
So if you want to become
a part of the Giving Team,
529
00:25:09.620 --> 00:25:14.030
we welcome you and together
we're gonna remove this debt
530
00:25:14.030 --> 00:25:17.960
and release finances to go
further in taking the teaching
531
00:25:17.960 --> 00:25:20.330
of the Bible to the ends of the earth.
532
00:25:27.410 --> 00:25:29.090
Well, today we have covered a lot
533
00:25:29.090 --> 00:25:33.050
of material in 1 Timothy 3:1.
534
00:25:33.050 --> 00:25:34.460
And we've specifically seen
535
00:25:34.460 --> 00:25:37.640
that you wives can win your
husband without ever preaching
536
00:25:37.640 --> 00:25:38.720
a word to them.
537
00:25:38.720 --> 00:25:42.620
And in the next program, I'm gonna give you an example about
538
00:25:42.620 --> 00:25:44.690
how Denise won me over
539
00:25:44.690 --> 00:25:48.290
to a particular point when
she stopped preaching to me.
540
00:25:48.290 --> 00:25:49.640
You're gonna get a kick out of it,
541
00:25:49.640 --> 00:25:52.010
but it will really demonstrate the point.
542
00:25:52.010 --> 00:25:53.720
But please order the whole series which is -
543
00:25:53.720 --> 00:25:55.910
What the Bible Says About Relationships.
544
00:25:55.910 --> 00:25:58.310
And now we're talking about the relationship
545
00:25:58.310 --> 00:26:00.110
between wives and husbands.
546
00:26:00.110 --> 00:26:03.590
And this comes with a study
guide that is so wonderful,
547
00:26:03.590 --> 00:26:05.720
and we're also offering you the RIV,
548
00:26:05.720 --> 00:26:08.750
that's the Green Version, Vol.II, 1st
549
00:26:08.750 --> 00:26:11.090
& 2nd, Peter and Friend.
550
00:26:11.090 --> 00:26:12.560
You can order all these things
551
00:26:12.560 --> 00:26:15.830
by just calling the number on
the screen or going online.
552
00:26:15.830 --> 00:26:19.280
And by the way, at our website, there are so many resources
553
00:26:19.280 --> 00:26:23.360
for you to avail yourself too - but I wanna pray for you.
554
00:26:23.360 --> 00:26:25.220
Maybe you find yourself stuck in a very
555
00:26:25.220 --> 00:26:26.930
difficult relationship.
556
00:26:26.930 --> 00:26:29.270
Maybe it's with an employer, maybe it's
557
00:26:29.270 --> 00:26:32.030
with a family member,
maybe it's with a spouse,
558
00:26:32.030 --> 00:26:34.490
and you feel so frustrated.
559
00:26:34.490 --> 00:26:38.180
God's grace wants to
touch you where you are.
560
00:26:38.180 --> 00:26:41.030
God's going to extend mercy to you,
561
00:26:41.030 --> 00:26:43.710
and he's going to enable you
to demonstrate the spirit
562
00:26:43.710 --> 00:26:45.720
of Jesus in that relationship,
563
00:26:45.720 --> 00:26:48.150
even if it's a hard relationship.
564
00:26:48.150 --> 00:26:51.060
And by demonstrating the spirit of Christ,
565
00:26:51.060 --> 00:26:53.790
God can turn it all around.
566
00:26:53.790 --> 00:26:56.520
That's what we've seen today in 1 Peter
567
00:26:56.520 --> 00:26:57.780
3:1.
568
00:26:57.780 --> 00:27:01.890
And Father, I pray in the
name of Jesus that your grace
569
00:27:01.890 --> 00:27:03.510
and your mercy
570
00:27:03.510 --> 00:27:06.990
and your spirit would
touch my precious friend
571
00:27:06.990 --> 00:27:09.180
that is in a tough place.
572
00:27:09.180 --> 00:27:13.020
I ask you to empower them to
walk in the spirit of Christ,
573
00:27:13.020 --> 00:27:15.750
to demonstrate respect and reverence.
574
00:27:15.750 --> 00:27:19.980
Lord, I pray it in the name of Jesus - Amen.
575
00:27:20.880 --> 00:27:22.200
We'll be back tomorrow,
576
00:27:22.200 --> 00:27:25.765
but until then, remember Ecclesiastes 8:4 says,
577
00:27:25.765 --> 00:27:29.970
"Where the word of a king is, there is power."
578
00:27:29.970 --> 00:27:32.190
If you've never received
Jesus as your Savior
579
00:27:32.190 --> 00:27:36.630
and Lord, now is the time for
you to experience a new life
580
00:27:36.630 --> 00:27:38.790
Jesus has to give you.
581
00:27:38.790 --> 00:27:42.870
Pray this prayer with me right now - Lord,
582
00:27:42.870 --> 00:27:46.860
I repented my sin and receive you as my savior
583
00:27:46.860 --> 00:27:49.830
and Lord. Wash away my sin
584
00:27:49.830 --> 00:27:52.830
and make me completely new.
585
00:27:52.830 --> 00:27:56.700
I thank you that my sin is removed
586
00:27:56.700 --> 00:28:01.380
and Satan no longer has any
right to lay claim on me.
587
00:28:02.220 --> 00:28:04.830
I faithfully promise that I will serve you
588
00:28:04.830 --> 00:28:06.990
as my Lord for the rest of
589
00:28:06.990 --> 00:28:07.990
my life.
590
00:28:08.970 --> 00:28:12.900
Amen. Thank you for joining Rick Renner today.
