A Christian WomanS Life Is About Bringing Her Will And Every Area Of Her Life Under Submission To GodS Will. 1. Discipline Of The Gospel: The Source Of GodlinessChrist Died For Our Sins In Accordance With The Scriptures (1 Corinthians 15:3). To Be A Godly Woman You Must Know What This Gospel Is, Believe It, And Make It The Center Of Your Life. Never Lose The Wonder Of The Gospel. John 3:16 Is Not Only A Beautiful Summary Of What God Has Done, It Ought To Be The True Center Of Our Living--Defining, Motivating, And Satisfying Us. The Gospel Is A WomanS First And Most Important Discipline, For It Is The Source Of Godliness. 2. Discipline Of Submission: The Posture Of Godlinessit Saddens Me That Submission Has Been Eliminated From Our Cultural Vocabulary. Bringing Our Lives Into Submission To GodS Will In Everything Is The Key To Being A Godly Woman (Philippians 2:8-11). It Is Also The Path To Joy.Submission Applies To Every Area Of Our Lives, And We Begin By Restoring The Gospel To Its Rightful Place At The Center Of Our Thoughts And Deeds Everyday. ItS An Ongoing, Daily Choosing Of GodS Ways Over Our Own Ways (James 4:7-10; Hebrews 12:9). Is The Will Of God More Important Than Our Lives (Luke 9:24)? 3. Discipline Of Prayer: SubmissionS Lifelinepray At All Times In The Spirit, With All Prayer And Supplication (Ephesians 6:18). Prayer Is The Source Of Power For Growth And Perseverance In Our Spiritual Lives. It Bends Our Wills To GodS, Which Is What Submitting Our Lives Is All About.Prayer Cannot Be Reduced To A Few Simple Rules, And Though We Sometimes Talk About Meditation, Confession, Adoration, Submission, And Petition, There Is No Prescribed Order. But Continual Prayer Is GodS Will For Us... We Must Always Be Looking Up, Even When Driving To Work Or Cleaning The House. 4. Discipline Of Worship: SubmissionS Celebrationworship Encompasses All Of Life: Present Your Bodies As A Living Sacrifice, Holy And Acceptable To God, Which Is Your Spiritual Worship (Romans 12:1). Because Christ Is The Ultimate Revelation Of God (Colossians 1:15-20), He Must Be The Central Focus Of Our Worship As Understood Through Scripture (1 Timothy 4:13). Worship --Whether By Oneself At Home, In The Workplace, Classroom, Or With The Church Gathered--Is Consecration. Every Woman Who Calls Herself A Christian Must Understand That Worship Is The Ultimate Priority Of Her Life... Every Day. 5. Discipline Of Mind: SubmissionS Educationno Computer Will Ever Be Able To Think GodS Thoughts Or Know The Heart Of God Or Do His Works. But ItS What The Brain Was Created For--To Have The Mind Of Christ. What A Scandal That So Many Christians DonT Think Christianly!In One Comprehensive Sentence, Paul Prescribes His Personal Mental Program: Whatever Is True... Honorable... Just... Pure... Lovely... Commendable, If There Is Any Excellence, If There Is Anything Worthy Of Praise, Think About These Things (Philippians 4:8). If You Are Filled With GodS Word, Your Life Can Then Be Informed And Directed By God--Your Relationships At Home, Parenting, Career, Ethical Decisions, And Internal Moral Life. 6. Discipline Of Contentment: SubmissionS Restpaul Wrote From Prison That He Had Learned In Whatever Situation I Am To Be Content (Philippians 4:11). Fortunately For Us, He Said That He Had Learned... There Is Hope For All Of Us Who Face The Monster Of Discontent!Applying Our Knowledge Of God To Our Circumstances Is The Key To Contentment. It Will Be Ours When All That God Is And All That He Has Done In Christ Fills Our Heart. We May Lack Many Things In This World, But As Godly Women We Must Work To Develop The Discipline Of Contentment. 7. Discipline Of Propriety: SubmissionS Behaviorpropriety Means Behaving In Ways Appropriate For Christians--Actions That DonT Bring Shame To The Gospel And To Christ. Propriety Elevates Our Words, Our Appearance, And Our Attitudes. ItS A Perfect Word For Describing What Paul Means When He Tells Believers To Act In A Manner Of Life...Worthy Of The Gospel (Philippians 1:27).Propriety Means Acting In A Way Worthy Of The Gospel In Dress (1 Peter 3:3-4), Speech, And Attitude (Colossians 3:12-14). If Your Behavior Is Worthy Of The Gospel, The Source Of That Behavior Will Be A Heart Authentically Bowed In Humble Submission To Jesus As Lord. 8. Discipline Of Perseverance: SubmissionS Challengefaith In The Goodness Of God In The Face Of Extreme Adversity Grows Out Of A Discipline Of Perseverance In The Day-In, Day-Out Grind Of Everyday Life.
