Piper on Submission

I will admit this post is totally stolen from girltalk, but it's so good I don't care about plaigarising...
Today we want to refer you to an oustanding article by John Piper entitled "The Beautiful Faith of Fearless Submission." Here's an excerpt that will surely make you want to read more:
"A Christian woman does not put her hope in her husband, or in getting a husband. She does not put her hope in her looks. She puts her hope in the promises of God...She looks away from the troubles and miseries and obstacles of life that seem to make the future bleak, and she focuses her attention on the sovereign power and love of God who rules in heaven and does on earth whatever he pleases. She knows her Bible, and she knows her theology of the sovereignty of God, and she knows his promise that he will be with her and help her strengthen her no matter what. This is the deep, unshakeable root of Christian womanhood."
What did I tell you? This article is worth reading, studying, and sharing with friends. Or, if you prefer, you can listen, or even watch Dr. Piper deliver this sermon.
Have a good weekend :)
