7 . __ :— — - w muioua;, nitt ) Ol, 19f9 Prophet*8 Column “A Virtuous Woman” By J. M Little The word "virtuous" means chaste, pure, and of moral excellence. Our subject at this time is "A Virtuous Woman." Two women stand out aumst each other throughout the Bible. One is the virtuous woman, and the other is the rebellious or brawling woman. In Prov. 12:4, "A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband: but she that maketh ashamed is as rottenness in his bones.” A virtuous woman, according to the Scriptures, is a saved woman. How many of you women are saved? Do you know the Lord Jesus Christ as your Lord and your Saviour? Can you, as a woman, go back to the time in your life when the Holy Spirit awakened you to your lost condition as a sinner on the road to Hell’ Can you go back to the time the Lord told you all things you ever did? (Jn. 4:»). Was there a period of time your heart was laid bare with you teeing the utter depravity of your heart and you saw yourself to be so vile and corrupt, and despaired of ever being saved? Did you see there eras absolutely nothin you could do to save yourself? Did you ever see that if the Holy Spirit should let you go. withdraw from you, that you would sink Immediately into Hall? Did you over struggle with a hard haart of unbelief? Was Christ REVEALED to your haart through the Word as your Substitute, your Redeemer? things I have mentioned have not taken place in your heart, let me say as the beloved Apostle Peter said to old Simon, “Thou art still in the gall of bitterness and the bond of Iniquity.'' Now you had better think seriously oo your way. For you are headed for eternity, far Heaven or Hell, my dear women. I’ll never forget seven years ago, in 1971, when we first began to publish the Gospel hare. Some women, certain anas who at one time claimed to be friands of mine, rose up in such rebellion as the Lord creased their wills in the maaaagea. Some would take me for a aklnnlng after they'd read the maeeaga. Well, the meaaage ka still the same: It's repent ergo to BaPl 1 have no romemmteo for you. The tmddUinotchange the Word . for Ms only begotten Son, and He’ll not change it for you. You'D come God’s way or go to Hell. Just yesterday I was down on the farm using my cuttiiw torch. And as I was there in th* shop using that hot flame /to heat and cut iron, I thought about souls in Hell buhtii* in a flame far hotter than a flame that can cut iron. I don't want to see any soul go to a place like that Aflame such as I was using to cut metal can make the metal melt. The metal gets white before it melts. Sister, the fire in Hell Is much hotter than a welder’s cutting torch. Now you had better think seriously. I am no harder than God’s Word. Solomon said that a virtuot* woman is a crown to her husband. Yea, she is. Why was woman made in the first place? Now you listen to God: “And the LORD God said. It is not good that the man should be alone; 1 will make an HELP MEET for Mm." (Gen. 1:IS). The crowning point in Adam's life there in Eden was his being given a woman by Jehovah. A man is not com plete without a woman. That does not make the woman equal with the man. All this movement to make women equal with men Is of the Devil. A woman told me several years ago she was goii* to report me to the Women’s Liberation Movement. I told The Apostle Paul said, "...but the woman la the (lory of the men.” (I. Cor. 11:7). Let me ask you. my dear woman, are you (ioryii* in your husband? Are you? If not, you are not Ms crowning A virtuous woman la one who obeys her husband You are commanded by the Lord to do so. (Eph. 5:22-24). God will not change His Word! How beautiful it Is to see a woman In her place in obedience to her husband. I told you seven years ago a woman never gets saved until she first learns obedience to her husband But you are still in rebellion as you were then I don't know if you'll ever get saved or not No woman can ever be saved as long as she rebels against her husband. A woman has two heads to come under: your husband and the Lord If a woman has learned obedience to her husband, her pastor wlU have no trouble with her. Now you think on those things "Who can find a virtuous woman? For her price is fsr aboverubies " iProv.3i.iO). A virtuous woman, one who is saved, will be found fulfilling her responsibility by her husband She knows what he Hkes to eat, and MAKF.S by J. M. Little SURE SHE PREPARES WHAT HE LIKES TO EAT. I beard my mother sometime ago say that she didn’t pre pare certain foods because she knew my father didn’t like them. She prepares my father's meals on time and right, he doesn't have to ask herto fix them. She is goii^ to keep his bouse dean, his clothes clean and ready. And when we were children in the home she fulfilled her respon sibility by her children which is a woman's second responsi bility. Your first responsibi lity is to your husband, and secondly, to your children. Now the opposite of a vir tuous woman is a rebellious woman. Here is a woman who has refused to bow in obed ience to her husband. You are rebellious and stubborn. You have failed to fulfill your res ponsibility to your husband. He has been telling-you for years how he likes his meals fixed, but you put Just the opposite before him most of the time. And if some other woman happens to bake him a ‘tate’ custard you get Jealous. When a woman has failed to fulfill her responsibility toward her husband, she is afraid some other woman may. Now you think about what you should be doing and you won’t have to let the green-eyed monster get you. Listen again; “The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil,” (Vs. ID. if a woman is in her place by her husband, fulfilling har respon sibilities, he’ll have no need to think about a woman some where else. But how many women have been the came of a broken home by refusing to have anything to do with their husbands sexually? Man and woman were made to satisfy each other. Paul said to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife. I was in a home one time and the man of the house came in from a long journey. The wife said to him when he got in, “Do you want me to fix you something to eat?” That question cut me to my heart. How in the world could she ask a heartless questioo like that? The man was hurt also but tried not to let on that he was. But If you want to fool some body don’t try to fool me. That woman needs to be tarred and feathered! That is not a virtuous woman! She has never learned her place in the home! Our homes are gone today. I realize we have so much worldliness to fight. But God has not cancelled the responsi billity He laid on us. Listen again, “She will do him good and not evil all the • days of her life,” (Vs. 13). It will take a strong, virtuous woman not to tear her hus band down if he is doing wrong. The statement has been made, “No, I’m not going to obey him because he is running around on me." He's wrong tor his running around with another woman, but that does not cancel God’s com mand to you. And you are to carry out your duty before the Lord regardless as to how he lives. The Lord will see to I said of a certain woman seven years ago, "Look at how she keeps that house clean. She keeps the children dean, and has been faithful to that man." She was helping that man all she could and yet he had to go out and lay up with another woman. That m«n ought to be bull-whipped. But it doesn’t matter whet the other person does, you come on to Christ. There may not be very many virtuous women today, but I praise the Lord for each one. How is it between you and the Lord? Are you saved? Do you know Christ? I plead with you to turn to Christ before the door of mercy is shut _ Keep your out-of-town fnentfe informed on what's happening in Charlotte by sending them a copy of the Charlotte Post each week.
