Just wanted to give you a big thumbs up!  Looks like you are doing a good work and I'm always glad to see the good efforts of Christians to help others.
I plan to forward the link for your web site to others on my e-mail list.

I really appreciate the flavor of encouraging the full development and maturity of Christian womanhood.

When I read your article on Sapphira I thought you might take a slightly different tack.  That of a wife's responsibility to be and to do as Christ would have done, even in times when it may require standing up to or against her husband.  Surely if Sapphira had told the truth and repented, she would not have died.

Perhaps this is striking a special chord with me today because I am in a discussion where women would rather not take on the full responsibility of being an equal (as in fully developed) marriage partner...

I know how the Proverbs 31 model has been abused in the church to somewhat keep women on a rodents wheel, and yet safely in "her place" but actually the Proverbs 31 woman is an amazing woman with a lot on the ball.  Her husband calls her blessed because she is not ... requiring that he should do all the thinking.

The focus of the lesson on Sapphira was on the responsibility of an individual to serve God alone and to not serving another god. 

The Bible study guide did point out that a wife's responsibility is first toward Christ. In part 1, question 7, it asks, "Did Sapphira have a responsibility to trust and obey God apart from her husband? Do you have a responsibility to trust and obey God apart from strong societal influences? Does something you idolize prevent you from complete trust and obedience toward God?"

These questions are intended to encourage people to think and to allow the Holy Spirit guide them. 

Among other things, those "strong societal influences" could possibly be the church society a woman may be in that has her look to her husband for guidance rather than directly to Christ. The woman herself could be putting her husband ahead of God.

Proverbs 31 is packed full of many aspects of what a woman can be. I am looking forward to the day when Scarlett does a study on it. I am sure it will be difficult to keep the study to a reasonable length since there is so much to glean from there.

Thank you for your letter. Perhaps it will give some food for thought for others.
