Proverbs 3130 says charm is deceptive and beauty does not last, but a woman who fears the Lord will be greatly praised.

Today we are talking about the fear of the Lord, what it produces in our lives, and we are going to be spurred on and encouraged by some stories of women who feared the Lord and thus were great influencers in the advancement of Christianity.
