JESUS LOVES MUSLIMS TOO – UNDERSTANDING ISLAM FROM A CHRISTIAN PERSPECTIVE 005- THE ARTICLES OF FAITH COMPARED IN ISLAM AND CHRISTIANITY

THE ARTICLES OF FAITH COMPARED IN ISLAM AND CHRISTIANITY

LESSONS OBJECTIVE
To correct negative stereotypes about Muslims
To better understand Islam and its origins
To appreciate positive aspects of the Islamic religion and culture
To Foster meaningful harmonious relationships between Muslims and Christians
To challenge Christians to break religious and cultural barriers and reach out to their Muslim neighbors with the love of Christ.
THE ARTICLES OF FAITH COMPARED IN ISLAM AND CHRISTIANITY
The Islamic word for faith is iman. For orthodox Muslims, faith is primarily a cognitive issue – that is , an intellectual process – a matter of acknowledging as true the teaching of the Quran and Muhammad the prophet of Allah. This knowledge in itself becomes a fulfillment of one of the requirements of Salvation.
In contrast, in Christianity faith a heart issue. Lu 24:25 Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken:
(KJV) : Ac 8:37 And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
(KJV)
For the Muslim, then faith relates directly to works and thus differs from the Christian view of faith. Heb 11:1 Now faith is assurance of things hoped for, a conviction of things not seen.
(ASV)
For the Christian simply knowing what the Bible says is not enough to earn favor with God. The true seeker of God’s truth as revealed in the Bible must apply this knowledge and allow it to lead him to Christ and his atoning death to obtain salvation. So it is the atoning death of Christ that leads the true seeker to a spiritual relationship produces a spiritual change in the life. Then, from this change in life, good works result. According to the Bible , good works are a result of salvation , not the basis of it. However according to the Quran and Muhammad they are the basis of salvation.
The Orthodox Muslim believes following tenents to be a good Muslim
BELIEVE IN ONE GOD
Believe that there is only one God whom they call Allah. (Arabic for God). The word ALLAH is derieved from two words AL(THE) AND ILAH(GOD). So Allah means “The God”. In other words He is the one and only Unique God whom the Muslims believe in. He rules from heaven and shares his deity with none other.
Christians believe in one God manifesting himself in the trinity as God the Father , God the Son and , God the Holy Spirit – A single God revealing Himself in the above personalities. Ge 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the heavens, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. ; Joh 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
(ASV)………. Joh 1:14 And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us (and we beheld his glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father), full of grace and truth. ; Mt 28:19 Go ye therefore, and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit:
The Quran declares Him as “The Merciful One, The Compassionate One.” He is Lord of Heaven and Earth and He is the Master of the Day of Judgement.
Christianity has similar names for God. De 4:31 for Jehovah thy God is a merciful God; he will not fail thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which he sware unto them. : De 13:17 And there shall cleave nought of the devoted thing to thy hand; that Jehovah may turn from the fierceness of his anger, and show thee mercy, and have compassion upon thee, and multiply thee, as he hath sworn unto thy fathers;
He begets not and neither is He begotten; He is The Creator of all things.
Christians believe the contrary ; that God Supernaturally begot Jesus Christ through his virgin birth. Joh 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on him should not perish, but have eternal life.
(ASV)
He Called Abraham out of idolatry to worship Him as the one true God.
Judeo – Christian teachings are in total agreement with Islamic teachings on this. Ge 12:1 Now Jehovah said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto the land that I will show thee:

Muslims use ninety-nine names for Allah that describes His nature. Muslims treat the word Allah with great reverence. They never mention or write His name without an honorific expression. E.g Allah Ta’ala. (God the exalted) ; Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala ( God , glorified is He and exalted).

Christians also have different names that describe his attributes , Jehovah Jireh – God our provider , Jehovah Nissi – God our Banner , Jehovah Rohi – God our shepherd and others.
At first glance, it appears that the Muslim God is the same creator God, the God of Abraham. However the Christian view of God is very different from the Muslim view of God.
Islam teaches about angels who serve God and are spirits created from light.
Jibril – The Angel who delieved God’s message to Humankind through Prophet Muhammad.This vital work marks him as a very holy angel – also referred to as a holy spirit. Equivalent of the Angel Gabriel.
Mikail – is an angel wielding great power. Christians refer to him as Michael.
Azrail – is the angel of death who separates the soul from the body.
Israfil is the angel who blows the trumpet on the Day of Resurrection.
Malik is the doorkeeper of Hell
Munkar and Nakir are the interrogating angels who question every person’s faith after death. Muslims teaching also indicate that these two angels beat the bodies of unbelievers in the grave until the resurrection.
Harut and Marut are angels who shared the knowledge of magic with people.
In addition there two angels who sit on the shoulder of every person. One on the right recording all the good deeds and another on the left recording the evil deeds. Then on the day of judgement . God will examine these records.
Angels Play a very important role in orthodox Islam.
They are the mediators between God and People.
In Orthdox Islam , God is remote and beyond reach and has no direct links with the human race.
However , the angels provide an indirect link between God and the human race.
They bring God;s blessings down from heaven, intercede for people and deliver God’s messages.
This is in complete contrast to Christianity , which teaches Jesus Christ is the only qualified mediator between man and God because of His divine nature. Joh 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no one cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Ac 4:10 be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even in him doth this man stand here before you whole.
11 He is the stone which was set at nought of you the builders, which was made the head of the corner.
12 And in none other is there salvation: for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, wherein we must be saved.
(ASV).

Moving your Marriage From the Rocks to The Rock. Series 006 – “THE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM”
PROVERBS 10:20 – The tongue of the just is as choice silver; the heart of the wicked is little worth. ( Comparing communication with the quality of life)
PROVERBS 12:18 – There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword; but the tongue of the wise is health. ( The Words we speak have the ability to hurt like a sword or any other dangerous weapon : or contrary to heal like a physician ,doctor, or an appropriate drug)
PROVERBS 12:19 – The lip of truth shall be established for ever ; but a lying tongue is , but for a moment (The words we speak can determine how long or short our relationships with others will last)
PROVERBS 15:4 – A wholesome tongue is a tree of life ; but perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit. ( Wholesome talk or words helps us to grow our relationships, perverse insensitive talk, stifles and ultimately destroys great relationships)
PROVERBS 18:21 – Death and life are in the power of the tongue and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. ( Whether your marriage survives the storms of life or doesn’t is predominantly determined by how well the two of you communicate)
The husband and wife must overcome any obstacles to good communication if they are to walk together and experience a peaceful and harmonious marriage.
An atmosphere of openness and honesty is vital for the success of your marriage.
God gave us one mouth and two ears to listen more and talk less. Listening is a key ingredient to successful communication and ultimately successful marriage.

OBSTACLES TO GOOD COMMUNICATION IS ‘THE ELEPHANT IN THE MARRIAGE ROOM’
Failure to have quality time with God and then your Spouse
Communicating while you are full of bitterness and hurt
Truth without love ; being judgmental and critical about your spouse
Communicating through the lenses of past experiences; rejection , hurts , abuse experienced as a child or in previous relationships
Selfishness and self-centeredness : I and my world

A GREAT MAN FALLS
“Jg 16:30 And Samson said, Let me die with the Philistines. And he bowed himself with all his might; and the house fell upon the lords, and upon all the people that were therein. So the dead that he slew at his death were more than they that he slew in his life.”
(ASV)
WHO WAS HE?
Jg 13:2 And there was a certain man of Zorah, of the family of the Danites, whose name was Manoah; and his wife was barren, and bare not.
Samson the Son of Manoah from the tribe of Dan from Zorah
Jg 13:5 For, lo, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son; and no razor shall come on his head: for the child shall be a Nazarite unto God from the womb: and he shall begin to deliver Israel out of the hand of the Philistines.
(KJV)
A Nazarite (Separate from the World and Dedicated to God) / A Deliverer
Samson’s mother had been barren ,meaning His birth was supernatural ; implying he was sent by God for a specific assignment
Jg 13:6 Then the woman came and told her husband, saying, A man of God came unto me, and his countenance was like the countenance of an angel of God, very terrible: but I asked him not whence he was, neither told he me his name:
(KJV)
An Angel appeared to announce His Birth
Jg 13:9 And God hearkened to the voice of Manoah; and the angel of God came again unto the woman as she sat in the field: but Manoah her husband was not with her.
(KJV)

Twice
Jg 13:11 And Manoah arose, and went after his wife, and came to the man, and said unto him, Art thou the man that spakest unto the woman? And he said, I am.
(KJV)
Because the being identifies himself as the Man, some bible scholars believe that this was Christ appearing to Manoah and his Wife
And Manoah refers to Him as God (Jg 13:22 And Manoah said unto his wife, We shall surely die, because we have seen God.)
Jg 13:24 And the woman bare a son, and called his name Samson: and the child grew, and the LORD blessed him.
(KJV)
The Lord blessed Samson
Jg 13:25 And the Spirit of the LORD began to move him at times in the camp of Dan between Zorah and Eshtaol. {the camp…: Heb. Mahanehdan}
(KJV)
The Spirit of The Lord moved Him
WHAT HAPPENED?
HE DID GREAT AND MIGHTY THINGS
Jg 14:6 And the Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him, and he rent him as he would have rent a kid, and he had nothing in his hand: but he told not his father or his mother what he had done.
(KJV)
He killed a Lion
Jg 14:19 And the Spirit of the LORD came upon him, and he went down to Ashkelon, and slew thirty men of them, and took their spoil, and gave change of garments unto them which expounded the riddle. And his anger was kindled, and he went up to his father’s house. {spoil: or, apparel}
(KJV)
He single handedly killed Thirty Philistines at Askelon ( a big city in philistine)
Jg 15:5 And when he had set the brands on fire, he let them go into the standing corn of the Philistines, and burnt up both the shocks, and also the standing corn, with the vineyards and olives.
(KJV)
He single handedly destroyed the food supplys and the wealth of the philistines
Jg 15:8 And he smote them hip and thigh with a great slaughter: and he went down and dwelt in the top of the rock Etam.
(KJV)
He killed a great number of the philistines who were the enemies of God’s people
Jg 15:15 And he found a new jawbone of an ass, and put forth his hand, and took it, and slew a thousand men therewith. {new: Heb. moist}
(KJV)
He killed one thousand philistines single handedly
Jg 15:20 And he judged Israel in the days of the Philistines twenty years.
(KJV)
He was leader and judge of Israel for 20 years
Jg 16:3 And Samson lay till midnight, and arose at midnight, and took the doors of the gate of the city, and the two posts, and went away with them, bar and all, and put them upon his shoulders, and carried them up to the top of an hill that is before Hebron. {bar…: Heb. with the bar}
(KJV)
Pulled out the gates of the entire city
Jg 16:30 And Samson said, Let me die with the Philistines. And he bowed himself with all his might; and the house fell upon the lords, and upon all the people that were therein. So the dead which he slew at his death were more than they which he slew in his life. {me: Heb. my soul}
(KJV)
He Killed three thousand Philistines with their leaders single handedly at his lowest moment.
WHEN DID THIS GREAT MAN APPEAR?
Jg 13:1 And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the LORD; and the LORD delivered them into the hand of the Philistines forty years. {did evil…: Heb. added to commit, etc}
(KJV)

He appeared when the nation of Israel was under great oppression from their enemies for 40 years ; Samson was to be their delieverer

HOW DID THIS GREAT MAN FAIL?
Jg 14:1 And Samson went down to Timnath, and saw a woman in Timnath of the daughters of the Philistines.
(KJV)
Samson loved the daughters of the philistines
Timnath was the same place that Jacob’s daughter Dinah was defiled by the Canaanite prince ; it signifies a place of defilement
Timnath had been Judah’s territory, then Dan , then fallen to the philistine
Jg 14:3 Then his father and his mother said unto him, Is there never a woman among the daughters of thy brethren, or among all my people, that thou goest to take a wife of the uncircumcised Philistines? And Samson said unto his father, Get her for me; for she pleaseth me well. {pleaseth…: Heb. is right in mine eyes}
(KJV)

He was more concerned about His personal pleasure and satisfaction other than obedience to the word of God.
De 7:3 Neither shalt thou make marriages with them; thy daughter thou shalt not give unto his son, nor his daughter shalt thou take unto thy son.
(KJV)
He was disobedient to the voice of the parents
He lacked self- control
Jg 16:1 Then went Samson to Gaza, and saw there an harlot, and went in unto her. {harlot: Heb. a woman an harlot}
(KJV)
Samson was immoral
Jg 16:4 And it came to pass afterward, that he loved a woman in the valley of Sorek, whose name was Delilah. {in…: or, by the brook}
(KJV)
Samson associated with the wrong people
Samson made bad decisions
WHY DID THIS GREAT MAN FAIL?
Although Samson was full of gifting, strength and talent ; He lacked Character to Sustain his greatness.
Giftings and talent push you to the top, but it is character that sustains you at the top
You cannot not climb beyond the limitations of your character
THE BUILDING BLOCKS OF A STRONG CHARACTER
Self- Discipline :- Discipline is doing what you must do inspite of how you feel. Successful people do not do things out of emotions , but are informed with the necessity of the task.
The great ancient philosopher Plato stated “ The first and best victory is to conquer self”.
A life of self- discipline will push you to great heights
You must first of all conquer yourself before you can conquer the world.
Honesty and Integrity :- This the aspect of being consistent in thoughts , feelings and actions. This being is truthful in what you think, say and do.
Our beliefs and Values :- Our beliefs and values are beacons and a guide in decision making which form our characters as principled individuals.
A sense of Identity :- Knowing who you are , helps you determine what you can or cannot do. It helps determine the boundaries of your life. A sense of identity enables you to establish emotional security which also drives what we do. Your identity motivates your actions. If you believe that you are not of value and worth, that you are a victim of your circumstances , you will have a distorted view of yourself and act negatively accordingly. The contrary is true, if you believe that you are of great value and worth, that you are the master of your destiny, you will have a victorious view of yourself and act positively accordingly.

THE ADVANTAGES OF A STRONG CHARACTER
A strong Character communicates dependability. – What you say and do should be consistent.
A strong Character communicates decisiveness – You stand by your decisions no matter the cost.
Character communicates leadership – People are influenced by strong character.
Character communicates establishment – Strong Character outlasts great gifts, strength and talent. Character wins the test of time.

HEALING OF THE SOUL AND SPIRIT OF MAN SERIES 004- ACHIEVING TRUE FORGIVENESS FROM THE HEART
“….And forgive us our debt, as we also have forgiven our debtors. “ MATTHEW 6:12, NAS
ACHIEVING TRUE FORGIVENESS
Is there someone in your life you have had trouble forgiving?
Forgiveness can be difficult, but…
The law of God mandates that we reap what we sow. Sow sin; reap death (relationships die). Sow forgiveness; reap life (relationships live). (For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 6:23, NAS
Why do we reap death? : If we do not forgive, we are not forgiven.
For if you forgive men for their transgressions, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men, then your Father will not forgive your transgressions. Matthew 6:14 – 15, NAS
And whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone; so that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your transgressions. Mark 11 :25 -26 NAS
If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9, NAS
But it isn’t fair….
Many people scoff at the idea of forgiving, because they think it means they must:
Excuse the offense. They think forgiveness means the offender was not wrong and he is not accountable to anyone.
Actually when we forgive, we enable the offender to be held accountable: Never take your own revenge, beloved, but leave room for the wrath of God.. Rom 12:19a NAS
Others feel that forgiving means that they have to Forget that the offense happened.
Nowhere in the scriptures does it say we must forget
Others feel that to truly forgive they must Deny their hurt or anger they feel thus making forgiveness almost impossible
The Psalmists did not deny what they felt (see Pslams 55, 88), yet they forgave.
Still others feel that forgiveness means Trusting the offender, and let him hurt them again.
David forgave Saul, but he did not trust him ( 1Sam 26:21,25)
When should we restore close contact?
When it is wise to do so. Disern when you can trust. Is the offender willing to stop offending? Talk things out? Take steps to heal the wound inflicted on you?
Remember :- It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in man. Psalm 118:8

But if I give up my resentment…….
I will have nothing left to defend myself!
When our hearts insist others owe us, we remain in bondage to reaping from bitter roots, and to feelings of hurt and anger.
If we cannot surrender our “right” to demand that an offender pay us back, we need to ask, “why can’t I trust God to bring justice?”
Forgiveness is :
Greek – aphiemi – to remit a punishment or cancel a debt – a work of God’s grace.
….Some people insist that they have forgiven….
But Jesus said, A tree is known by its fruit Matthew 12:33 NAS. Where there is fruit of unforgiveness there is unforgiveness.
Why is it hard for some people to remember where unforgiveness began? As children, they thought forgiveness was:
Minimizing (it is ok / it is not so bad)
Justifying
Rationalizing that treatment was normal; convincing themselves it didn’t hurt
Offering understanding without accountability
Taking blame for the parents (or others) actions
Forgetting what others have done to them
By all these means, they have convinced themselves that others had done no wrong, and that there was , therefore , nothing to forgive.
When people finally realize they do need to forgive:
They ask, “How can I forgive if I can’t stop feeling angry?”
Forgiveness is not the cessation of anger. It is choosing to give assent to Christ work on the cross (….count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus. Romans 6:11b, NIV
After the cross does its work, there is nothing is left to produce new anger. Residual anger will eventually dissipate.
“How do I forgive if I don’t feel angry?”
It is preferable to get in touch with the anger we’ve suppressed before we forgive. But if we cannot, we can still forgive.
Sometimes the act of forgiving makes the anger surface.
“Why do I still feel angry after I have prayed to forgive ?”
This may indicate there is another aspect of the same issue yet to be forgiven
Or it may mean that you need to process the feelings before letting them go.
How can I forgive if I realize that my parents really weren’t guilty? Shouldn’t I just declare them innocent?
Forgiveness is not always about guilt. Sometimes it is merely a way to remove our own resentment (if your child accidentally steps on his brother’s toe, don’t you have him apologize? And don’t you have his brother say, “ I forgive you?”)
Pray the Gethsemane prayer
In the garden of Gethsemane, Jesus entered into prayer, identifying with those who hated Him.
Our prayers should be something like : “Lord , in compassion, identify me with the heart of my offender, with is hurts and wounds. Bring to death in me that which would declare him as sinful and me as righteous. I am not better than him. I am one with him at the foot of the cross. I cry out , “Forgive us!” Set us free from the traps of hate. End all pride and self- righteous in both of us. Enable me to identify with the person You created him to be. Restore Us Oh Lord”.
Because Jesus is fully God and fully human. He took all sins into His body “ He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. 2Corinthians 5:21 NAS
On the cross, Christ prayed a prayer of intercession, Father forgive them….. Luke 23:34b
Likewise when we pray to forgive, this is a prayer of intercession.
“Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ, God forgave you. Ephesians 4:32
The Prayer ministers role
To lead in seeking out and confessing resentment held in the heart.
“ Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results. James 5:16
To lead in expressing forgiveness
To offer assurance of forgiveness
“Then he breathed on them and said , “Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive anyone’s sins, they are forgiven. If you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven.” John 20:22-23
Some people feel the need to forgive God. Of course , God needs no forgiving! For such persons, “forgive “ means to let go of a falsely perceived issue
“Now all these things are from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ…. We beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. 2 Corinthians 5:18-20, NAS
Pray blessing on the offender
“Bless those who persecute you; bless and curse not…. If your enemy is hungry, feed him. And if he is thirsty, give him a drink; for in so doing you will heap burning coals upon his head….. Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. Romans 12:14, 20-21 NAS

How do I know I have fully forgiven?
Do I have strong emotional reactions when I see the person who hurt me?
Do I want relationship (if this is wise). Or do I try to avoid the person?
Do I still rehearse “speeches” I’d like to deliver?
Do I imagine ways of getting revenge?
Can I sincerely bless this person?
Do I honestly rejoice when good things happen for him?
RECONCILE :- This is the ultimate goal of inner healing (2 Cor 5:18 , Mal 4:5,6 , Mt. 17:11) …… How will you apply the healing you have received? Change your attitude towards the offender – Reconcile ; Apologize ; make restitution ; express forgiveness ; bless ; listen to what God tells you to do ; bring healing to others

Moving your Marriage from the rocks to The Rock – Series 005 –Meeting Her needs/ His needs
OBEJECTIVE:-
Understanding your mate’s basic needs and purposing to be used of God to fulfill them.
Meeting Basic Needs
THE NEEDS OF A WIFE
1Pet 3:7-10 “In the same way, you husbands must give honour to your wives. Treat your wife with understanding as you live together. She may be weaker than you are, but she is your equal partner in God’s gift of new life. Treat her as you should so your prayers will not be hindered. Finally all of you should be of one mind. Sympathize with each other. Love each other as brothers and sisters. Be tenderhearted, and keep a humble attitude. Don’t repay evil for evil. Don’t retaliate with insults when people insult you. Instead pay them back with a blessing. That is what God has called you to do, and he will grant you his blessing. For the scriptures say, “if you want to enjoy life and see many happy days, keep your tongue from speaking evil and your lips from telling lies.
Eph 5:22-33 “ For wives this means submit to your husbands as to the Lord. For a husband is the head of his wife as Christ is the head of the church. He is the Savior of his body, the Church. As the Church submits to Christ, so you wives should submit to your husbands in everything. For husbands, this means love your wives, just as Christ loved the Church. He gave up his life for her to make her holy and clean, washed by the cleansing of God’s word. He did this to present her to himself as a glorious church without a spot or wrinkle or any other blemish. Instead, she will be holy and without fault. In the same way, husbands ought to love their wives as they love their own bodies. For a man who loves his wife actually shows love for himself. No one hates his own body but feeds and cares for it, just as Christ cares for the church. And we are members of his body. As the scriptures say, “A man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two are united into one”. This is great mystery, but it is an illustration of the way Christ and the Church are one. So again I say, each man must love wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband. { What is love? 1Corinthians 13:3-7 Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoice whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.}
She needs you to understand her.
She needs you to be tender and considerate.
She needs to be treated with respect.
She needs to protected because she is the weaker vessel.
She needs to be treated as a partner in the marriage and as a joint heir with you in the kingdom.
She needs you to build her with your speech by praise and appreciation and not be harsh with her (Colossians 3:19)
She needs you to love her and for you to sacrificially and unselfishly give yourself for her.
She needs you to nourish her spiritually by the word of God.
She needs you to be the spiritual head of the household.
She needs you to cherish and value her.
THE NEEDS OF A HUSBAND
He needs a wife who will submit to him
He needs a wife who does not nag him with her words.
He needs a wife who is pure and holy, one whom he can trust.
He needs a wife who develops her beauty outwardly and inwardly, who has a peaceful and gentle spirit.
He needs a wife who will respect him as this gives him confidence to lead.
He needs a wife who will speak life and encouragement to him spiritually.
He needs a wife who will give herself to him in sexual union.
