Charles Swindoll preached a series of sermons from the book of Proverbs entitled: You and Your Daughter. (Click the link and scroll down.) They're in two parts with two sermons each for a total of four sermons (Jan 13-14 and 15-16). Today I listened to Part One and thought I would share my notes, but I definitely recommend listening to these 20 minute talks.
The Foolish Woman is thick, dull, and sluggish to the things of God. She is bent on destruction (14:1) and is in constant commotion and turbulence. (9:13-18) She maintains a negative attitude; is deceptive and insensitive to sin (mocks at sin). (14:8-9) She is argumentative. (20:3) The foolish woman is the product of the flesh (22:15) and is a disappointment to her parents. (17:21)
The Wise Woman knows the value of wisdom. (31:10) She has a submissive, servant's spirit; she spends her time building up someone besides herself. (31:11) She is constructive. (14:1) She knows the value of skillful hands. (31:13) She handles money wisely (31:14-16) and knows the blessedness of hard work. (31:17-25)
The Contentious Woman is one given to strife. She is easily angered, habitually argumentative and quarrelsome by nature. (21:9, 19) She is a nag and is constantly discontent. (19:13) She has a strong, stubborn will. (27:15-16) Contentious moms raise contentious daughters. When God brings calamity to break the will of the contentious woman, it is so disastrous there is no healing - only God can deal with her. (6:12-15)
The Gracious Woman shows favor, consideration and acceptance in her lips, appearance and in response to authority. She is a woman of appreciation and affection. (Proverbs 11:16)
