• 0:03
  Speaker 1: That is impure. And so again, here we see this picture.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: She must be pure. This is not just this idea
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: of not having experienced physical consummation. We're talking about people
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: here who are married and still walking in purity. Still
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: walking in purity. Still walking in purity. That is why
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: when you base your relationship on impurity before you get married,
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: you compromise the very foundations upon which your marriage is built.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: Because you're trying to seek purity, but you built what
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: you hoped to be pure on a foundation that was not.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: You see that? What's interesting is if you want to
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: know how tall a building is going to be, you
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: don't have to wait till it goes up. Did you
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: know that? You engineering guys in here, you know what
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about. If you want to know how tall
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: a building is going to be, all you have to
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: do is see how deep they dig the foundation. If
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: you're building a skyscraper, you dig deep into the ground.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: Because you got to have enough foundation to support that
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: much of a structure. You're just building a single-story house
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: for somebody to live in? You don't have to dig
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: 50 feet into the ground if that's all you want
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: to build. What kind of marriage do you want to build? Hmm?
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: You want to build a little bungalow? Or you want
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: a skyscraper? I want my marriage to be a skyscraper,
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: which means we have to dig deep, deep, deep in
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: the foundations. That's what purity is about. And that purity
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: remains even long after the structure has come up out
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: of the ground. It has to remain. Biblical womanhood is
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: about purity. Again, even in the way that we present ourselves. Purity, purity, purity.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Look at the next part of this. And I still
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: haven't got to what I want to camp out on
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: a little bit here. We'll get there, all right? Working
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: at home. Working at home. And let me be clear here.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: Does this mean that biblical womanhood says a woman can
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: never do any kind of work outside of her home? No,
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: I don't think so. I don't think Proverbs 31 agrees
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: with that. Okay? I'm not going to make that argument.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: I know women, I mean, they have all kind of
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: stuff that they do outside of their home. And they
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: do volunteer work and this and that and whatever. Again,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: that's not what's being said here. But here is what's
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: being said here. There is no priority in biblical womanhood
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: that supersedes the priority of a woman's role in her home.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: There is no priority that supersedes the priority of the
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: woman's role in her home. That's what this means. That's
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: what this means. Her home is her place of work.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Her home. Hey, if she can find something to do
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: within the context of her home, praise the Lord. But
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: that's what she's committed to. I know we don't like this.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: We really don't. We don't like this. Matter of fact,
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: we hate this because we've had an entire movement, an
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: entire feminist movement that has communicated this to us. Marriage
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: is bondage. And women have to be equal to men
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: in every regard. By the way, they're not talking about
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: equal as far as value and worth. They're talking about
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: egalitarian as far as roles and everything else with no
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: distinctions whatsoever. There are tremendous distinctions between men and women.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: By the way, those of us who are married can say,
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: Praise God because it's those distinctions that make it glorious. Hallelujah.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: All right? We are not the same. If we were
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: the same, one of us would be unnecessary. Okay? But sons,
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: we're looking for women who are committed to the home.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Committed to the home. Not just as a place. Will
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: they drop their stuff off? Will they go and try
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: to do whatever in the world? No, they're committed to
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: the home. It is their priority. They're committed to raising
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: their children, not to paying somebody else to do it.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: They're absolutely committed to their roles as wives and mothers.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: And I know that doesn't sit well with us. Why?
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Because most of you young ladies have not been raised
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: to be women. You've been raised to be men who
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: happen to be biologically capable of having children. And so
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: you've been taught not to prioritize the home above all else.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: I do not apologize for the fact that the scripture
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: clearly teaches this. That a woman is to prioritize her
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: home above all else. And whatever else she does, and
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: that's between, hey, I got my hands full running my
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: own house. I'm not trying to run yours, okay? Okay?
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: But whatever else she does, from a biblical perspective, the
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: principle is that she prioritizes her home. Now, if there
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: is a husband and a wife over here and the
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: way that they prioritize their home is, you know, he
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: has this business and she's a vital part of this
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: business and she's his helpmate because of her vital part
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: in this business and that's something that they do together.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: You know, they have a mom and pop store and
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: they live on top and everybody works down and the
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: kids are all hands on deck, you know, or they
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: have a farm or whatever. And when it's time for harvest, everybody. Mama, daddy, sons, daughters, dogs, everybody.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: You know, it's time for harvest. We all go out
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: and we harvest. Amen. Hallelujah. Praise the Lord. That's not
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: the point that I'm making. And the reason I'm camping
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: out here is because whenever I talk about this, it's
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: so foreign and offensive to our modern feminist culture that
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: I want to be clear. And it doesn't matter if
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: I say it 10 times. There are some of you
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: who already shut me off because you're mad that this
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: is even in the Bible. Somebody told you that you
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: can have it all. The fact of the matter is
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: you can't. You can't have it all. But that's okay
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: because you don't need it all. I can't have it all.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: But I don't need it all. I want Christ. And
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: I want his blessings. In generations of my family. And
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: here's the deal. The more my wife and I have
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: come to understand what it takes to raise children biblically,
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: the more we realized it wouldn't even be possible for
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: us if she was out doing wife swap. We couldn't
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: do it. It takes so much. We couldn't do it.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: That's where her commitment is. That's where her joy is.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: That's where her passion is. He talked to my wife
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: and she says, you know, people always ask me, do
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: you work outside the home? Do you this? Do you that?
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: And when I tell them, You know, I'm a homeschool mom.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: They kind of get this, you know, oh, bless you.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: You know, you're just, you know, for a second. And
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: she's just going, I have the most incredible calling in
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: the world. There is no higher calling than that of
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: being a wife and a mother. God has blessed me
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: with this body to bring life into the world. and
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: through adoption to bring other children into our home, and
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: through the investment of my life, she would say, I
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: have the opportunity to shape world changers. That's what my
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: wife does. She shapes world changers. The Lord says that
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: he gives us quivers filled with arrows. I don't think
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: it's too much of a stretch of the text. But
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: I tell my children, we are in the business of
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: building intercontinental ballistic missiles in our home. And that's what
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: each one of you is. Each one of you. You're
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: an ICBM, baby. One day the silo is going to
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: open up and it's going to be on. You know?
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: That's what we do. And I could not do this
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: without my wife being committed, absolutely committed to our home.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: My wife's an educated woman, a well-educated woman. She's absolutely
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: committed to our home. Absolutely committed to our children. Absolutely
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: committed to making our home the most beautiful and productive
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: environment it can be. Number one, so that she can
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: be all that I need so that God can launch
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: me and use me in whatever ways he sees fit.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: And secondly, so that as she and I partner together,
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: we can raise, train, and disciple people as many children
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: as is humanly possible to the glory of God. That's
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: why my wife and I exist. To be poured out
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: for the cause of Christ, to be thoroughly used when
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: it's all said and done, and to raise, train, and disciple,
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: and launch from our home as many, as many warheads
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: as is humanly possible. Not as few as we can.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: Not a boy for me and a girl for you
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: and praise the Lord we're finally through. No. No, no, no, no, no.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: If this is a war, last time I checked, no
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: warrior goes into battle saying, hey, man, just give me
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: as little ammunition as you can. You go to war,
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: you go, wait a minute, I think I got a
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: sock down here I can put some bullets in. Give
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: me those two, I'll find somewhere to put them. And
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: because my wife is committed to our home, that's the
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: attitude that we can have. Look at the last part
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: of this and then we'll come back and finish this up.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: Working at home, kind and submissive. to their own husbands
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: that the word of God may not be reviled. Teach
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: young women to be submissive to their own husbands. Why?
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: Two reasons. This is very important. Number one, because women
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: war against submission by nature as a result of the fall.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: Women war against submission by nature as a result of
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: the fall. Look with me here if you will. Let's
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: go back to Genesis chapter 3, okay? And we'll do
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: this quickly because I know we've got to do our
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: Q & A in just a couple of minutes. But
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: I want you to see this. Genesis chapter 3. And
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: look at verse 16. Look at verse 16. To the
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: woman he said, I will surely multiply your pain and childbearing.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: In pain you shall bring forth children. And look at
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: this next one. Your desire shall be for your husband
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: and he shall rule over you. Your desire shall be
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: for your husband. Now, if we're not careful, we look
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: at that word and we think, you know, you shall
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: have this passionate desire for your husband. You shall want
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: him and he shall rule over you. If you want
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: to understand what that phrase means, it's only used three times,
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: that Hebrew phrase. Another time that it's used, chapter 4
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: and verse 7. Look at what the Lord says here.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: The Lord said to Cain, why are you angry? And
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: why has your face fallen? Verse 7, if you do well,
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: will you not be accepted? And if you do not
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: do well, sin is crouching at the door. Its desire
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: is for you, but you must rule over it. Same phrase.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: Sin's desire is for you. Wife, your desire shall be
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: for your husband. That phrase means as a result of
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: the fall, women, you will desire his headship. You will
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: desire his role. And yet, he will rule over you.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: So as a result of the fall, number one, you
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: are naturally disinclined to submit to a husband. Secondly, in
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: addition to this result of the fall, we also have
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: now decades of of feminist teaching, not just outside the church,
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: but even inside the church. Feminist teaching on egalitarianism. That
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: somehow this submission is a couple of things. Number one,
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: it's either mutual, or number two, it's conditional. It's mutual
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: or it's conditional. And let's take these two in turn
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: as we talk about submission here. Because we don't, again,
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: we don't like it. We really don't. Ladies, I know
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: you don't like submission. You don't have to tell me that.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: You don't like it. As a result of the fall,
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: you don't. However, if you're a new creature in Christ,
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: you ought to have a different attitude towards submission. And
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: so the idea of mutual submission. We go back to Ephesians.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: In Ephesians chapter 5, verse 21. A lot of people
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: look at that and they say in verse 22, it says, wives,
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: be subject to your own husbands. But before that, you
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: have verse 21. Be subject to one another. Okay? Fear
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: and reverence for Christ. And so when we look at
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: verse 21 in Ephesians chapter 5, we say, see here,
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: you're supposed to be subject or submissive to one another.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: So husbands and wives are both supposed to submit to
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: one another. And so they make the argument for mutual
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: submission there. Small problem. Verse 22 is the beginning of
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: a paragraph. Verse 21 is the end of a paragraph.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: You can't put the beginning of a paragraph in context
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: by using the end of another paragraph. You got to
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: use the whole paragraph itself. So when you go back
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: to the beginning of the paragraph that ends with verse 21,
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: you go back to Ephesians chapter 5 beginning of verse 15.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: Now when you get there, you see a pattern. In
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: the pattern, you see three threes. First of all, you
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: see three contrasts. Then you see on the third contrast,
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: three commands. And on the third command, three contexts. All right?
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: And so we have these three contrasts. Look at them
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: beginning in verse 15 of Ephesians chapter 5. Look carefully
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise,
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: making the most of your days because the days are evil.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: So don't be unwise but be wise. Look at the
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: next one, verse 17. Therefore don't be foolish but understand
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: what the will of the Lord is. Second contrast, don't
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: be foolish, understand what the Lord's will is. Contrast number
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: three comes in verse 18. Don't be drunk with wine
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: but be filled with the Spirit. Now on the third contrast,
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: not drunk with wine but filled with the Spirit, We
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: get three commands. What are those three commands? Command number one.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: Verse 19, addressing one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs,
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: making melody to the Lord in your heart. Be filled
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: with the Spirit. Well, how do I do that? Number one.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: You do that by addressing one another with psalms, hymns,
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: and spiritual songs and making melody in your heart. It'd
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: be interesting if somebody said, I'm a spirit-filled believer. And
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: you go, great. Let's worship and make melody to the
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: Lord together. Nah, I'm not much for worshiping and making
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: melody to the Lord. But you're spirit-filled? Look at the
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: second one, verse 20. Giving thanks always for everything to
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: I'm a spirit-filled believer. Great. Join me. Let's pray and
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: just give thanks to God for a while. I'm not
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: much for prayer and thanksgiving. But you're spirit-filled? Verse 21.
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: Submitting to one another out of reverence for Christ. So
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: submission to a proper God-given authority is evidence of a
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: spirit-filled life. Now you get verse 22. But remember I
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: said three contrasts. Three commands and then three contexts. What
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: are the three contexts of submission? Wives to husband, children
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: to parents, servants to masters. In neither one of those
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: is it mutual. And none of those is it mutual.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: There you have it. It's not there. And when we
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: see it in 1 Peter chapter 3, there is no
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: statement of Of mutual submission in 1 Peter chapter 3.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: When you see it in Colossians chapter 3 again, no
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: statement of mutual submission. The husband is never called to
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: submit to his wife. The wife is called to submit
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: to her husband. There is headship. 1 Corinthians chapter 11.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: What do we find there? What does Paul say? The
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: head of every man is Christ. The head of every
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: woman is a man. There's headship there. And God doesn't
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: apologize for that headship. Well, okay, if it's not mutual,
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: then it has to be conditional. Well, Ephesians chapter 4,
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: verse 22. Wives, submit to your own husbands as to
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: the Lord, for the husband is the head of the wife,
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: even as Christ is the head of the church, his body,
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: and himself its Savior. So now as the church submits
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: to Christ, so wives submit to their husbands in what? Everything.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: In everything. Again, we talked earlier about the law of God.
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: So he says you go out and you're an ax
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: murderer and you kill all these people. You're not obligated
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: to do that, but you're even submissive in the way
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: that you don't go out and build an atomic bomb
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: and commit ax murders, okay? Well, okay, that's fine, but
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: it has to be, you know, only if he is
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: doing what he's supposed to do, right? If he's not
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: doing what he's supposed to do, then I don't have
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: to be submissive to him. If he's not doing what
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: he's supposed to do, turn with me to the right,
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: 1 Peter chapter 3. Likewise, wives, be subject to your
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: own husbands so that even if some do not obey
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: the word, they may be won without a word by
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: the conduct of their wives. Well, if he's not doing
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: what he's supposed to do, then I don't... It doesn't
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: get clearer than that. It doesn't get clearer than that.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: In fact, I can even make it clearer... than that
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: immediate context. The first word he uses there is likewise.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: What do you mean, likewise? Glad you asked. Go to
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: the beginning of that paragraph just before and look at
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: verse 18 of chapter 2. Servants, be subject to your
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: masters with all respect, not only to good and gentle,
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: but also to the unjust. That's what he's referring to
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: when he says likewise in chapter 3, verse 1. for
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: the submission of wives. Now, marinate on that for a while.
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: We don't like that. I'll end with this. My wife
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: is a highly educated woman who has laid down all
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: of her pursuits in order to submit herself to my
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: vision for our family. My wife does not contradict me
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: in front of others. She shows me that respect and
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: that honor. My wife communicates to our family and to
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: others the vision that I have established for our family.
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: My wife has forsaken other opportunities for independent fulfillment and
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: use of her gifts in order to put those gifts
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: in subjection to me and my vision for our family. Now,
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: I say those things and feminism cringes. But what if
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: I tweak those things just a little bit? And what
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: if I change the two players? And it's no longer
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: me and my wife. It's Dr. Condoleezza Rice and President Bush.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: And I say the same phrases. Dr. Rice is a
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: highly educated woman who is employing her education for the
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: benefit of President Bush. Secondly, Dr. Rice does not contradict
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: President Bush in public. Thirdly, Dr. Rice has committed herself
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: and submitted herself to President Bush's vision for his administration
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: and not her own. And Dr. Rice has forsaken all
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: other opportunities for independent self-fulfillment for the sake of partnering
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: with President Bush to fulfill his agenda. How come she
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: does it and she's a hero, my Bridget does it,
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: and there's something wrong with it? Same phrases, ladies. But
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: because you've been lied to, you believe that working for
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: some man you don't know in the White House has
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: more value than laying down your life beside a man
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: who would lay his down for you. This is biblical womanhood.
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: It is not what we're accustomed to. It's not even
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: what we're comfortable with. But it is what is required
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: if we are to see the kind of reformation and
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: revolution that we've been talking about.
