The Privilege of Persecution

“Blessed are those who have been persecuted for the sake of righteousness …” Mat 5:10b
At present, many men, women, and children around the world are facing persecution. Many more will face it in the near future. Indeed, persecution against Christians and Christian standards is now taking shape across the USA, and this persecution is becoming more aggressive and intense with each passing day. As we would prepare for any upcoming event in our life, so we should spiritually prepare for both present and coming persecution. Days of persecution are days to stand up in victory—not flee in defeat!
These are the notes from Nan Cunningham’s ladies’ Bible class at the Kansas Bible Conference, August 21–23, 2015.

 

Kansas 2015 Ladies Class

Nancy Cunningham - July 31, 2020

The Beauty of Submission -- Session 2

The Beauty of Submission -- 2020 Kansas Ladies Retreat

Submission is the Greek word hupotasso. It is a verb meaning to be arranged in proper rank ” as in a military sense." In a non military sense, Thayer’s definition is "a voluntary attitude of giving in, cooperating, assuming responsibility, and carrying a burden.” The Word of God encourages all the above in a healthy spiritual life. We are told to encourage one another, bear one another’s burdens, live peaceably with one another, consider the other person’s needs above our own, and so forth.

Scripture References: Genesis 32:1-100, James 4:6-10, 1 Corinthians 11:3-15

We are designed for submission to submit is to participate in the plan God has for us. But we are designed for so much more! We are designed to beautify the gospel messag e and the Person of the Gospel in all that we say and do in how we cook and create, in how we live and love, in how we sing and serve, in how we give and pray, parent and praise. We are designed to stir hearts by creating beauty that reflects the beauty of Jesus. The X4 Ranch and Basic Training Bible Ministries hosted a weekend women's retreat 31 July - Aug 1st, 2020.
