Chapter 4

1. What did you think about the account regarding Anne Graham Lotz on page 35? If you had been in the congregation, what would you have done?
   
   
   
2. Do you agree with Tony's thoughts on page 39 about the affect that denying women the right to preach has? (First paragraph under the heading "The Deeper Damage.")
   
   
   

3. "...it does say that wives should be submissive to their husbands, but doesn't this chapter of the Bible also say that husbands are supposed to love their wives as Christ loved the church and gave Himself for it? Every Christian who studies the Bible should know what that means." (Page 41) What do you think? What does it mean to love as "Christ loved the church?"
   
   

4. On page 43, Tony states, "I know of situations wherein men have been led to believe that it is right to beat their wives if their wives do not do as they are directed to do." What is your reaction to that?
   
   
   
5. Page 45 -- A true Christian never asks who's going to be first in any hierarchy but rather asks who's going to be last. How does that statement sit with you?
   
   
   
6. What do you think of Tony's illustrations of balance?
