From
The Tent Door
For many years my husband, Pastor D. A. Waite, Th.D., Ph.D., edited the
Bible For Today Newsreport. It was a monthly periodical where he spoke of
current events, ecclesiastical problems, as well as Scriptural exegeses.
It was in this BFT Newsreport that Pastor Waite began to instruct his
readers about the Textual issues which underlie the KING JAMES BIBLE and
Bibles based in other languages also based on the Masorretic Hebrew
and Aramaic Text for the Old Testament, and the Textus Receptus Greek Text
for the New Testament.
For many years, it was in this Newsreport that I had the opportunity to pen
my own articles. That page in the BFT Newsreport was entitled "From the
Tent Door." Many of you were readers of the column. The phrase,
"From the Tent Door," was taken from Genesis
18:9-10 where Abraham declared, when asked by his holy guests, "Where
is Sarah thy wife?" His immediate and knowing answer was,
"Behold, in the tent."
It was behind that "tent door" that Sarah heard the startling news
that she, as a woman past child-bearing age, was to become a mother. It is
my personal conviction that Abraham seated his guests in such a way that his
wife could watch and listen to their conversation. He knew she would be in
the tent, her home. He knew she would be listening. He knew she
would want to know all that was being said.
It is my conviction that a married woman's place of greatest service
for the Lord is in her home--a place where her husband knows she will be safe
and satisfied. A wife's "tent" or home should be a place
of caring for herself, her husband, her chlldren, and tending
to the matters of her household. A wife should not consider herself a
prisoner in her own home for it is from that home that a wife can reach out for
other activities in her life, in her church, and in service to others.
There is an order given by God in the
Scriptures. There is one formula for all marriages. To put it simply,
it is the following: It is up to the husband to make his wife feel like
his queen (Ephesians 5:23, 25), to love her
for she is the feminine, weaker partner in the marriage (I
Peter 3:7); and it is up to the wife to love him and submit to him as her
head (Ephesians 5:22-23). Sarah
learned this attitude as our example in this matter (I
Peter 3:6). We should always remember that marriage is patterned after
the Lord Jesus Christ and His Bride, the Church (Ephesians
5:24).
I'M UNDER GOD'S CARE, are you (I Peter 5:6-11)? Your caring friend, Yvonne S. Waite (Mrs. D.A.)
