0:00.0	1. Peter gives us the picture of a woman married to an unbelieving husband. Dr. John Piper draws on this
0:09.4	portrait to make an important point about submission. Submission does not mean leaving your brain
0:16.1	and your will at the wedding altar. It's not the inability or the unwillingness to think for yourself.
0:23.7	Here is a woman who heard the gospel. She thought about the gospel. She assessed the truth claims of
0:30.3	the gospel. She apprehended the spiritual beauty of Christ, and she made a choice. I submit to Jesus. I'm a Christian. I believe.
0:44.2	This is Revive Our Hearts with Nancy Lee DeMoss for Friday, January 18th. Yesterday, we heard the first part of a message by Pastor John Piper entitled the beautiful faith of fearless submission.
1:09.9	This message ministered in such a special way to my own heart
1:12.7	that I wanted to share it with our revive our hearts listeners. Dr. Piper's been speaking from
1:17.6	1 Peter chapter 3, verses 1 through 7, and you may want to just open your Bible to that text
1:23.5	or take a moment to review it as he continues in this message. Yesterday, he gave us a beautiful
1:29.3	picture of biblical womanhood. And he explained why embracing God's role for us as women
1:35.5	reflects the gospel. If you missed any of yesterday's program, you'll want to make sure and hear that.
1:42.0	You can listen to the audio or order the CD at revive our hearts.com.
1:47.9	Now, today, Dr. Piper will continue explaining what submission does and does not mean.
1:54.1	There's a lot of confusion and a lot of fear over this topic.
1:57.8	I think you'll be encouraged and helped as I was by his practical biblical insights.
2:03.6	Let's join Dr. Piper.
2:09.2	Submission does not mean agreeing with everything your husband says.
2:15.7	And you can see that in verse one clearly. She's a Christian and he's not.
2:22.5	He has one set of ideas about the ultimate meaning of the universe. She has another set of
2:27.0	ideas about the ultimate meaning of reality. Peter calls her to be submissive, assuming she will not submit to his unbelief, by joining him in unbelief.
2:43.7	In other words, at the most important level, she won't submit to his idea.
