Heck and Martha Peace Now today I have the opportunity With us live on the phone to join us on conversation on the subjects and the sessions of our Conference miss and Susan J. Heck. Thanks Susan for joining us. I'm doing great. It's a rainy day in Oklahoma For those who don't know Susan allow me to give you a little bit of background Susan Heck has been happily married to her husband Doug for 40 years She has been involved in women's ministry for about 37 years in a variety of different ways such as Bible studies Counseling and she's a guest speaker at many international women's conferences Susan is also the author of several published books such as a call to discipleship Putting off life dominating sin and with the master Bible study among others She's an encouragement to many Christian women by memorizing 23 books of the New Testament word-for-word Susan is a mother of two and a grandmother to seven precious grandchildren Susan thank you for joining us on this broadcast We're very excited and thankful to have you join us once again for our women's Conference now Susan what I like to do is to talk about the conference session so that the ladies Listening can get more in depth of what they should be expecting Have here in front of me the conference itinerary. So let's go ahead and jump in with the first Session but before we do that. I wanted to ask you how did you come up with the titles for your sessions? Did you and Martha have a theme in mind for this year's conference? Well, it'll be interesting Martha's been a friend of mine for a long time So I think the sisters there at Cornerstone just thought it would be a good time to Have us do something together and I'm looking forward to it you know the Sermon on the Mount is as Martin Lloyd-Jones says it's the Most understood sermon but the least obeyed. I'm just going to take three important Topics from chapter 6 of the Sermon on the Mount that I think are imperative if we're going to be a woman after God's own heart And so I'm looking forward to that. It'll be great. It's going to be a great time together I can't wait. What are the titles of your three sessions for this year's conference? What will you be teaching the ladies? Well? The first one is going to be Contrasting hypocrisy and holiness and you know Jesus says we shouldn't do our acts of righteousness Before men to be seen by them and I think women fall in that pitfall of doing things to please others and Doing things to be seen of others and Jesus is going to mention three acts of righteousness our praying our fasting and our giving But you know Edgar anything we do since we do everything to the glory of God It should be an act of righteousness and so even cooking our husband's favorite meal Could can be considered an act of righteousness But if I do it with a wrong attitude Then that act of righteousness becomes an act of unrighteousness. So I'm going to really zero in on that first and then secondly I want to talk about laying up treasure in In heaven and not on earth. I I think a lot of women You know, I just got done with some spring cleaning here in my house and you wonder Where do you where do we get all this stuff and why do we have all this stuff? That their moth and rest is going to corrupt and and bees to break through and steal it and I think women spend a lot of idle time Browsing recipes and clothes and all this stuff when they could be Doing something in their home or you know sharing the gospel or something like that we need to really get back to why are we here and Certainly we need to fulfill our responsibilities as moms and wives But our treasure should be laid up in heaven not not here on earth. And so we're gonna look at that passage and then lastly I think another pitfall of women is worry. I I think I counsel more women who struggle with anxiety and You know, if we believe in the sovereignty of God There should be no need for worry And so Jesus has that passage don't worry about what you're gonna eat what you're gonna drink what you're gonna wear He says the pagans do this pagans are characterized by worry But God's children should not be characterized by worry. So we're gonna we're gonna look at that as well and needful Worship and needless worry and hopefully the women will learn to put that sinful sin off and And get back to worshiping the Lord instead of worrying about their life So that's kind of where I'm going. I'm looking forward to it Susan being that you travel quite a bit and have the blessing of meeting women in many parts of the world As a pastor's wife and a Bible teacher to women What are some of the common pitfalls that you see Christian women are dealing with that shows? They need to address the contrast between hypocrisy and holiness. Well, I think one of the pitfalls would be Gossip, you know, that shouldn't characterize the life of a woman after God's own heart You know were to speak things that are edifying Another one I see is just a lack of the the disciplines of the means of grace And what I mean by that is being involved in the local church accountability Prayer Bible reading I have to tell you I'm just shocked at the amount of women that that don't read their Bible don't know their Bible and You know my Bible says that that the godly woman delights in the law of the Lord and yet I just see the women today delighting in so much of the world and I would say that is definitely You know to profess the name of Christ and then not delight in his ways and in his word is is To me very concerning as an older woman watching just the trend in the church today. So Yeah, there's there's a lot of hypocrisy in the church There might be women right now Susan who might be dealing and battling with the sin of hypocrisy right now if any of these women had The opportunity to sit down with you for a private counseling session and they asked you what biblical and practical advice Would you give me so that the Lord would help me overcome the sin of hypocrisy? What would you say to them? Well, I really believe Edgar that the best way is to honestly sit before the Lord and Ask yourself that hard question Why am I doing what I'm doing? Why am I serving in the church? Why am I reading my Bible? Why am I praying? Is it for so I could tell somebody about it? Is it so because somebody's watching or is it truly? because My love for God and my desire to glorify him and I have to do that from time to day like why am I doing what I'm doing? Why do I do what I do? You know that first self-glory is it for God's glory is it because I love him is it because I love myself Do I want the praise of man or the praise of God? and so but you know we don't sit long enough to sit before the Lord and ask those hard questions and You know, I think we're such a fast-paced society with so much technical social networking And we just don't take time to be holy and sit before the Lord and really evaluate our heart as much as we can I know the heart's deceitful, but at the same time I think it'd be wise for us to really ask ourselves some hard questions. Why am I doing what I'm doing and And be be real with the Lord. Don't don't have fake answers So that would be my two cents once again Susan. Thank you so much for taking time to talk to our listeners and Continue our conversation about our 2016 women's conference. Thank you so much.
