Martha Peace — Autorin, Bibellehrerin und Seelsorgerin · Konservativ-evangelikal / reformatorisch-baptistisch · USA
Martha Peace ist eine US-amerikanische Autorin, Bibellehrerin und Seelsorgerin im Umfeld der konservativ-evangelikalen Bewegung für biblische Seelsorge (Biblical Counseling). Bekannt wurde sie vor allem durch ihr Buch „Die vorbildliche Ehefrau“, in dem sie ein strikt komplementaristisches Rollenverständnis von Mann und Frau vertritt und säkulare Psychologie zugunsten der Hinlänglichkeit der Bibel ablehnt. Während ihre Schriften in bibeltreuen Kreisen als praxisnahe Orientierung für Ehe und Seelsorge geschätzt werden, werfen christliche Kritikerinnen ihrer Lehre vor, durch die Forderung nach weitreichender Unterordnung emotionalen und geistlichen Missbrauch in Ehen zu begünstigen.

Quotes by Martha Peace
Lazy people are often busy, but they are not busy doing the work that God has given them to do. They are incredibly self-indulgent.

“Self” is at the center of our lusts – our supposed needs for significance, worth, security, identity, or esteem. A psychologized, man-centered view of God and of man appeals to our natural sense of loving ourselves and thus deceives us.

Like Elijah, Jeremiah, Jesus, or Paul, you may be experiencing intense loneliness. A woman does not have to be single to be lonely. She can be married and living with her husband. In fact, her loneliness may be exaggerated because of feeling trapped in a marriage with a man who is withdrawn and aloof. Elijah and Jeremiah were overwhelmed with their loneliness. Jesus and Paul were not. The difference is Elijah and Jeremiah felt sorry for themselves while Jesus and Paul sought refuge in God.

Every true believer in Jesus is united with Christ in His death, burial, and resurrection. By God’s grace, the believer actually participates in Jesus’ death, which destroys the penalty and power of sin. The Christian participates in Jesus’ burial, which leaves the old sinful person behind in the grace. The believer comes alive in Jesus’ resurrection, which makes Him a new person sharing in the new life of Christ.

The goal of the Christian husband and wife in their marriage is to have a oneness that is characterized by a loving spiritual and physical bond that glorifies God and thereby enhances personal spiritual growth (Genesis 2:24; Ephesians 5:22-33; Galatians 6:1; Hebrews 13:4). Oneness and spiritual growth are achieved as each partner helps the other become as much like the Lord Jesus Christ as possible. This spiritual growth and oneness in marriage does not happen by chance. It happens in direct proportion to how diligent a couple is in pursuing it.
