clear.gif - 808 Bytes Question:

clear.gif - 808 Bytes In Dr. Weeks articles concerning Pastoral Theology, he says that a pastor's wife should be "quiet, not boisterous". Does this mean that she is not allowed to voice an opinion, nor exercise her gifts in church?

Response:

Thank you for your recent letter. Dr.Weeks has passed away, so I will attempt to answer your question.

You ask concerning his statement that a pastor's wife should be "quiet, not boisterous". I looked up "boisterous" in the dictionary, and found this definition: "Course. Rough. Strong. Massive. Tumultuously violent, furious. Noisy and unrestrained." Now, compare that with what the Bible says about the Godly woman. I Timothy 2:9-15 indicate that a woman is to be modest (orderly), shamefaced (modest, humble, reverent), sober (of sound mind, having self-control), learning in silence, (same word as translated "quiet" in I Peter 3:4), subject (a military term meaning "to arrange under), not teaching men, not usurping authority over men (to usurp means to have dominion, to master, or to govern), and bearing godly children. I Peter 3:1-6 teaches that the Godly woman will be chaste, meek (gentle, mild), and quiet. Titus 2:4-5 states that older women are to teach younger women to be sober, lovers of their families, discreet (self-controled), keepers of the home (one who works at caring for the home), good, and obedient. It seems that Dr. Week's statement lines up exactly with what the Bible has to say.

Of course, this does not means that women are not allowed to use their intelligence, nor does it mean that a woman is a doormat for her husband or any other man to walk on. A Godly woman should be cared for and loved sacrificially by her husband. But her place is not to lead him, nor to lead other men in a church setting. Her greatest characteristic, according to I Peter 3:4, is "a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price."

May the Lord bless you as you serve Him.
