Here's Dr. John Piper.

There's plenty that's frightening in the world.

Frightening in relationships, frightening in children, frightening in health, frightening in the future.

And Peter says, you will Sarah's daughters if you're not afraid of anything.

Because you're a holy woman who hopes in God.

And he's sovereign over all these frightening things.

And you know that.

And you rest in him. And that drives out your fear.

This is Revive Our Hearts with Nancy Lee DeMoss for Thursday, January 17th.

Nancy, I've heard you call 2008, The Year of the True Woman. Tell us what you mean by that.

Leslie, on Revive Our Hearts this year, we're going to be looking at how we as women can fulfill

God's created design and purpose for our lives. You know, there's a lot of confusion in our culture

today about what it means to be a woman.

And I think that one of the reasons so many women resist the biblical model of femininity is because of fear.

What if I'm treated poorly? What if I'm not provided for? You know, we all need to resolve issues of fear and faith as a first step

toward becoming the women that God wants us to be. Several months ago, I heard a captivating

message that addresses this whole issue of faith and fear as it relates to women. The message is

by Dr. John Piper, who is the pastor of the Bethlehem Baptist Church

in Minneapolis. It's entitled The Beautiful Faith of Fearless Submission. And when I heard this message,

I thought, this is something we need to share with our Revive Our Hearts listeners. So today and

tomorrow, we're going to share with you this message that I found personally so compelling.

Dr. Piper is going to be one of the speakers at a special event later this year, and I hope you'll be there too.
