编者按
这是一套在美国很受欢迎的教材，按年龄共分三部分：0-6岁学龄前儿童教程，6-12岁学龄儿童教程，和12岁以上青少年教程。我们将陆续翻译成中文，分享给大家。
这套教材里的每一篇，无论是教程还是各种活动，都独立成篇，没有先后顺序，大家可以按需要和负担选择使用。
*更多内容：thedoorofsheep.com/青少年 课程目的
1.传授圣经中关于敬虔女子的教导
2.鼓励女孩更像耶稣
3.挑战年轻女性，反世俗文化，将神的事摆在世界的事之前
（与本系列的其他课程不同，这一课是专门为女孩写的。本课程适用于女孩，但也适用于男孩，可以教育他们如何寻找合适的婚姻伴侣以及该如何对待和尊重女性。从这个角度看，这一课对男孩来说是很有意义的；但是，课程的大部分内容都是专门针对女孩的。）
主题
操练、家庭、敬畏神、道德、邻里和睦、讨神喜悦、单纯、美德、智慧
背诵经文
箴言 31:30
开头的祷告(5-10分钟)
团队建造(5分钟)
（带些女性杂志：《十七岁》、《CosmoGirl》等。其中会有些不合适的东西，你要用它们来说明问题。使用你的判断力来做选择，也不用太回避那些非圣经价值观的内容。尽量多带些，让每个女孩都能有一份。）
每个人拿一本杂志。可以和另一个女生组成一组，花几分钟时间翻阅你们手中的杂志，同时列一个清单。清单要包括杂志中那些文章、图片和广告所倡导的真女人、受欢迎的女孩、理想的有吸引力的伴侣应该有的那些性格特征。听明白了吗？好，现在开始！
（给学生 5-10 分钟，让他们有足够的时间列清单。一旦他们的清单完成，将各小组聚集在一起，让他们分享，然后合并出一个更大的清单。确保他们写下那些特征。我们将在后面用上这部分内容。完成活动后，继续下一个部分。）
课堂起头(10分钟)
问题讨论：
• 你欣赏哪些女性？
• 你欣赏她们什么？
• 你最亲近的女性是谁？
• 你欣赏她们什么？
今天我们要读一个男子对一个令人钦佩的女子的描述。我们所做的是看看神希望你成为什么样的女子。
深入学习(30分钟)
今天我们要细读一段经文，作深入研究，而不是在几段经文里跳来跳去。在箴言中，有一段很长的经文，说出了敬虔女子应该是什么样子。虽然它不是圣经中唯一一段谈到女性应该如何行动/思考/说话等，但它是最全面的一段。现在把圣经翻到箴言 31章，从 第10 节开始。
在作应用之前，我们先一段一段来仔细阅读这段经文。我会点名叫人来读各经节，所以做好准备。
读 箴言 31:10-15
问题讨论：
1. 根据本文作者的说法，一个优秀的妻子有什么价值？（远胜过珍珠；第 10 节。）
2. 为什么作者会问，“谁能得着呢？” （也许这样的女子很少见；第 10 节。）
3. 丈夫应该如何看待这样的女子？（他会倚靠她；第 11 节。）
4. 他为什么会倚靠她，看第 12 节？（她一生使丈夫有益无损。）
5. 13-15 节，是什么意思？（她是一个勤奋的人。）
所以看起来敬虔的女子很少见，她们非常有价值，值得信赖，并且勤奋工作。在我们继续阅读的过程中，对照箴言中这些话语和生活中你目前的状况。
读 箴言 31:16-22
这一段令人困惑，因为谈到了我们不太了解的事情。
问题讨论：
1. 你对 16 到 19 节提到的特征有什么印象？（那个女子是考虑周到的、坚强的、生活有意义的、能干的、聪明的等等。）
2. 根据第 20 节，敬虔的女人具有什么特征？（同情并帮助有需要的人。）
3. 21-22 节似乎强调，敬虔的女人会未雨绸缪照顾她的家人，这为什么很重要？（允许各种答案。）
读 箴言 31:23-29
问题讨论：
1. 25节说“ 能力和威仪”是敬虔女子的衣服；你认为成为一个有能力的女人意味着什么？（允许各种答案。）
2. 你认为做一个有威仪的女人意味着什么？（允许各种答案。）
3. 敬虔的女子为何在面对日后的景况时能喜笑？（允许各种答案。）
4. 她舌上有什么（见第 26 节）？（智慧，仁慈的法则。）
5. 这样的女子的孩子会有什么反应？（称她有福。）
6.这样的女人的丈夫会有什么反应？（同上。）
读 箴言 31:30-31
第 30 节是我们要背诵的经节。让我们再多读几遍，把它印在我们的脑海里。
问题讨论：
1. 在你看来，艳丽为什么是虚假的？（允许各种答案。）
2. 美容为什么是虚浮的？（允许各种答案。）
3. 归根结底，如何证明一个女子是敬虔的？（她敬畏主。）
让我们来一起做个活动吧。写下我们刚刚读过的一个敬虔的女子应该具备的每个特征。
一个虔诚的女人是...
1. 稀有（第 10 节）
2. 有价值（第 10 节）
3. 值得信赖（第 11 节）
4. 有益无损（第 11 节）
5. 仁慈（第 12 节）
6. 始终如一（第 12 节）
7. 喜乐地工作（第 13 节）
8. 勤奋（第 14 节）
9. 有训练（第 15 节）
10. 养育者（第 15 节）
11. 考虑周到（第 16 节）
12. 精明（第 16 节）
13. 有力（第 17 节）
14. 明智（第 18 节）
15. 努力工作（第 19 节）
16. 富有同情心（第 20 节）
17. 无私（第 20 节）
18. 周济人者（第 21 节）
19. 优雅，华贵（第 22 节）
20. 有影响力的人（第 23 节）
21. 会打算（第 24 节）
22. 有能力（第 25 节）
23. 有尊严（第 25 节）
24. 有盼望（第 25 节）
25. 智慧（第 26 节）
26. 仁慈（第 26 节）
27. 会观察（第 27 节）
28. 忙碌（第 27 节）
29. 被钦佩（第 28 节）
30. 优秀（第 29 节）
31. 敬畏神（第 30 节）
32. 值得称赞（第 30 节）
33. 值得尊重（第 31 节）
问题讨论：
1. 圣经中对女子的这种描述是否让你感到惊讶？为什么是/不？
2. 你认为像你这样的人有可能符合这些描述吗？为什么是/不？
应用(10分钟)
现在让我们来思考这些经文的真实性。箴言 31 不仅仅是一些远古老旧的文字。这是神的话，是真的。如果是这样，那么这些文字应该改变你作为女性的生活方式。
拿出你的清单。通读一遍。这是你所拥有的吗？哪些是你不擅长的？哪些对你来说很自然？哪些对你来说很难不那么自然？不太可能有人在所有这些事上都没有任何困难，但敬虔是我们可以去努力做到。
问题讨论：
1. 有敬虔的女子的存在，有多重要？
2. 敬虔对你个人来说有多重要？
3. 有哪些事会让女子从敬虔上分心出去？
4. 你如何将注意力从那些事上转回来？
如果我们可以专注于一节经文，那就是我们今天要背诵的经文，箴言 31:30。（请人再读一遍这节经文。）
我认为，这节经文讲的就是今天的年轻女子们。如今让男女共同推崇的标准是他们的态度和给人的感觉。这两样东西都在这节经文里：艳丽和美容。这些都不是敬虔的特征。
女性不应该通过虚假的艳丽和虚浮的美容来引诱抓住男性或让其他女性嫉妒。事实上，到目前为止，我们研读过的敬虔的女子，没有一个是这样的。相反，始终如一，同情心和力量感要重要得多。这些特征，迷人而美丽。拥有我们讨论过的那些特征的女子，将被所有性别的人视为敬虔的女子。通过我们的行为散发出内在美远比通过世俗物质散发出外在美，要重要得多。
问题讨论（续）
5. 我们的社会教导女性如何看待她们自己的态度？（并不都是些不好的事。）
6. 我们的社会教导女性如何看待她们的外表？（通常要很瘦，化很多妆，漂亮的头发，漂亮的衣服等）
7. 这些标准与神的标准有何不同？（允许各种答案。）
8. 在箴言 31，作者在哪里地方看重妻子的外表？（没有......提到了她衣服的质量，对她的尊严作了诗意般的肯定，但不关乎她的美貌。）
神不需要会闹、爱八卦、靠打扮调情和勾引来过她们一生的女孩，神需要敬畏祂的女孩。就这么简单。今天的问题是，在你所做的一切之上，你爱神吗？
这是一个艰巨的挑战，这里我把这两个清单留给你。我们将留一些时间让你自己祷告，当你今天走出这个房间时，尽管没有其他人知道，我还是希望你下个决心，决定你想努力成为什么样的女子，将那个清单放在你的口袋里。另一个清单，把它卷起来扔掉。虔诚地思考神呼召你去做什么，当你选择一个清单时，把它作为一个你将以此为生的承诺。
结束祷告(2分钟)
给女生们一段安静的时刻，告诉她们，当她们做出承诺并扔掉另一个清单时，就可以离开了。

Old Testament Heroes (Women)
Lesson 5: You: Woman of Godliness
LESSON OBJECTIVES
Goals
1. To educate girls on what the Bible says about being a godly woman
2. To inspire girls to become more like Jesus
3. To challenge young women to be counter-cultural and consider the things of God before the things of the world
(Unlike the rest of the lessons in this series, this study is written for girls. This lesson can work for classes of girls and boys in the sense of educating the males as to what type of woman they should look for in a potential marriage partner and how men should treat and respect women. In this way, the lesson will be invaluable for the boys; however, the majority of the lesson is addressed exclusively at girls.)
Topics
Discipline, Family, Fearing God, Morals, Neighborliness, Pleasing God, Purity, Virtues, Wisdom
Scripture Memorization
Proverbs 31:30
OPENING PRAYER (5 to 10 minutes)
GROUP BUILDING (5 minutes)
(Come to class with lots of magazines for girls: Seventeen, CosmoGirl, etc. Some of these have some inappropriate stuff in them, but you are using them to make a point. Use your discretion on which to use, but don’t be afraid to bring some that have non-biblical values displayed in their pages. Try to bring enough for every girl to have one.)
Everyone take a magazine. I want you to pair up with another girl, take a few minutes to go through each, and make a list. Your list should be made up of things that the articles, pictures, and advertisements in the magazine are proposing as characteristics of a real woman, a popular girl, a desirable, attractive potential mate. Understand? Alright, go for it!
(Give students 5-10 minutes, enough time to build up a good list. Once their lists are complete, bring the groups together and have them share, producing one, larger list. Make sure they write the characteristics down. We’ll use them later in the lesson. Once you’re done with this activity, move on to the next section.)
GETTING STARTED (10 minutes)
Discussion Questions
• Who are some women that you admire?
• What is it that you admire about them?
• Who are some women that you are closest to?
• What do you admire about them?
Today we’re going to read one man’s account of an admirable woman. As we do, the goal is to see what type of girl God wants you to be.
DIGGING IN (30 minutes)
Today we’re going to stick to one passage of Scripture and try to study it deeply rather than skipping around to several scriptures. In the book of Proverbs there is an extensive passage on what a godly woman should look like. While it’s not the only passage in the Bible that talks about how a female should act/think/talk/etc., it is one of the most comprehensive. Turn in your Bibles to Proverbs 31, starting at verse 10.
We’re going to read this passage and just pick it apart before we seek to apply it’s truth. I’ll be asking for volunteers to read throughout, so be ready.
Read Proverbs 31:10-15
Discussion Questions
1. According to the author of this text, what is an excellent wife worth? (Far above jewels; v. 10.)
2. Why does the author ask, “who can find?” (Perhaps such a woman is rare; v. 10.)
3. How should a husband feel about such a woman? (He will trust her; v. 11.)
4. Why does verse 12 say he will trust her? (She does him good, not evil.)
5. What do you think verses 13-15 mean? (That she is a hard worker.)
So it seems like godly women are rare, but that they are extremely valuable, trustworthy, and hard working. As we continue to read, examine the words of the Proverb up against whom you are in life currently.
Read Proverbs 31:16-22
This is sort of a confusing passage because it talks about things we don’t know a lot about.
Discussion Questions
1. What impressions do you get about the characteristics mentioned in verses 16 through 19? (That the woman is thoughtful, strong, purposeful, handy, wise, etc.)
2. What characteristic does a godly woman possess according to verse 20? (Compassion, helping those in need.)
3. Verses 21-22 seem to reinforce that a godly woman is prepared to take care of her family, why do you think that is important? (Allow for answers.)
Read Proverbs 31:23-29
Discussion Questions
1. In verse 25 it says that “strength and dignity” are a godly woman’s clothes; what do you think it means to be a strong woman? (Allow for answers.)
2. What do you think it means to be a dignified woman? (Allow for answers.)
3. How can a godly woman become excited about the future? (Allow for answers.)
4. What is the product of her tongue (see v. 26)? (Wisdom, faithful instruction.)
5. What is the response of the child of such a woman? (To bless her.)
6. What is the response of the husband of such a woman? (The same.)
Read Proverbs 31:30-31
Verse 30 is our memory verse. Let’s say it a few more times and pound it into our heads.
Discussion Questions
1. How can charm be deceptive, in your opinion? (Allow for answers.)
2. How can beauty be fleeting? (Allow for answers.)
3. At the end of the day, how is a woman proven godly? (She fears the Lord.)
Let’s do an activity together. I want us to write down (either one person for the group or each individual) every characteristic we just went through that a godly woman should possess.
A Godly Woman Is...1. Rare (verse 10) 2. Valuable (verse 10) 3. Trustworthy (verse 11) 4. Profitable (verse 11) 5. Kind (verse 12) 6. Consistent (verse 12) 7. Works with joy (verse 13) 8. Diligent (verse 14) 9. Disciplined (verse 15) 10. A nurturer (verse 15) 11. Thoughtful (verse 16) 12. Shrewd (verse 16) 13. Strong (verse 17) 14. Sensible (verse 18) 15. Hard working (verse 19) 16. Compassionate (verse 20) 17. Selfless (verse 20) 18. A provider (verse 21) 19. Graceful, elegant (verse 22) 20. An influencer (verse 23) 21. Crafty (verse 24) 22. Emotionally strong (verse 25) 23. Dignified (verse 25) 24. Hopeful (verse 25) 25. Wise (verse 26) 26. Kind (verse 26) 27. Thoughtful (verse 27) 28. Busy (verse 27) 29. Admired (verse 28) 30. Excellent (verse 29) 31. God-fearing (verse 30) 32. Praiseworthy (verse 30) 33. Worthy of honor (verse 31) |
Discussion Questions
1. Does this kind of a description of a woman in the Bible surprise you? Why/why not?
2. Do you think it is possible for someone like you to fit these descriptions? Why/why not?
MAKING IT REAL (10 minutes)
We want to shift now to consider the truth of these verses as they intersect with our lives. Proverbs 31 isn’t just some old, ancient text. It’s the word of God, and it’s true. If so, then it should make a difference in how you as girls live your lives.
Get out your list. Read through it. Are you those things? What are you not very good at? What comes naturally to you? What is hard for you and not-so-automatic? It’s probably pretty unlikely that there is anyone who is all those things without any trouble, but godliness is something we work at.
Discussion Questions
1. How important do you think it is to have godly women?
2. How important is it to you personally to be godly?
3. What goals, other than godliness, often distract girls?
4. How can you shift your attention from those things?
If we could hone in on one verse, it would be our memory verse, Proverbs 31:30. (Have someone read the verse one more time.)
This verse, I think, hits closest to home for today’s teenage girl. The standard on earning respect as a girl by both boys and girls is in attitude and perception. Those two things are right here in the text: charm and beauty. Now, do not take this to mean that flirting and vanity are godly traits. That’s not what we’ve been discussing here. Instead of taking these words at their base and superficial nature, we need to see their true meaning.
Women should not seek to lure and catch men or make other women jealous by flirting and wearing the latest trends of cosmetology. In fact, not one of the women we’ve studied so far, who we’ve considered godly, has done this. Instead, it is much more important that women reflect consistency, compassion, and strength. These traits are charming and beautiful. A woman who displays the characteristics we’ve discussed will be respected by all genders as a godly woman. It is far more important that we exude inner beauty by our actions than outer beauty by our worldly materials.
Discussion Questions (Continued)
5. What does our society teach females about their attitudes? (It might not all be bad stuff.)
6. What does our society teach females about their looks? (Usually pretty thin, plenty of make-up, good hair, nice clothes, etc.)
7. How do these standards stack up against God’s standards? (Allow for answers.)
8. Where in Proverbs 31 does the author value his wife for being physically attractive? (It’s not in there…the quality of her clothes is mentioned, but this is a poetic nod to her dignity, not her beauty.)
God doesn’t need girls who love drama, love to gossip, love to primp and flirt and seduce their way through life, God wants girls who fear Him. It’s that simple. The question for today is, above everything else you do, do you love God?
That is a tough challenge, but I’m going to leave you with your two lists. We’re going to have some time for you to pray by yourself, and as you walk out of the room tonight, without anyone else knowing, I want you to decide what kind of girl you’re going to strive to be. Take the list that describes that girl and fold it up and put it in your pocket. Take the other list and wad it up and throw it away. Prayerfully consider what God is calling you to, and as you choose one list make that a commitment that you will live your life by.
CLOSING PRAYER (2 minutes)
Give the girls several silent moments, telling them they can leave as they make their commitment and throw away their other list.
