Author Bruce Ware reflects on the biblical command,

Husbands, love your wives as Christ loves the church.

That is a huge command.

No husband has ever been able to fulfill that in the way in which Christ has loved the church.

It's a standard that is so high and calls every husband constantly to reevaluate and improve.

This is Revive Our Hearts with Nancy DeMoss-Walgamuth, author of Choosing Gratitude for Friday, April 13th. All week Nancy's been teaching through the True Woman Manifesto.

It's a document that describes the biblical basis for a true woman movement.

Yesterday, Nancy described one of the points of the manifesto dealing with men's

roles and women's roles in the home and church. So we're taking a break from that teaching today,

hearing from a guest who studied this topic carefully and is learning to live accordingly.

Nancy will introduce our guest.

Well, if you've been listening to Revive Our Hearts for any length of time, you know

that our mission is to believe God for a movement of reformation and revival in the hearts

of Christian women.

And we have kind of two parallel tracks, two thrusts and emphases of this ministry.

One is the mission of revival,

and that has to do with our vertical relationship with the Lord and how that impacts every

area of our lives. We also talk a lot about biblical womanhood. Our ministry is two women,

and we want to help women understand what is God's word teach about what it means to be a woman of God,

what that looks like, and how we can fulfill God's mission and calling for our lives as women.

And in order to know what that is, we've got to be women of the word.

We need to understand what the ultimate authority God's word has to say about what it means to be a man or a woman, and how those two should interrelate with each other.
