- AND AS A PASTOR, I'M CERTAINLY GRATEFUL FOR ALL OF THAT HELP

- BUT I THINK WE'VE GIVEN, PERHAPS UNINTENTIONALLY,
- 00:03:20.323 --> 00:03:24.160

- NOW, WHEN WE GET TO VERSES 18 TO 25,
- 00:03:50.386 --> 00:03:53.323
- PAUL IS GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE TEST
- 00:03:53.323 --> 00:03:55.658
- OF BEING A HEAVENLY-MINDED CHRISTIAN.
- 00:03:55.658 --> 00:03:57.360
- HOW DO YOU KNOW IF YOU'RE REALLY BECOMING LIKE JESUS CHRIST?
- 00:03:57.360 --> 00:04:03.366
- AND PAUL'S GOING TO SHARE IN THESE VERSES,
- 00:04:03.366 --> 00:04:04.300
- THERE ARE TWO LITMUS TESTS
- 00:04:04.300 --> 00:04:05.735
- TO DETERMINE WHETHER YOU'RE LIKE JESUS CHRIST.
- 00:04:05.735 --> 00:04:07.837
- THIS ISN'T THEORETICAL.
- 00:04:07.837 --> 00:04:09.706
- THIS IS VERY PRACTICAL.
- 00:04:09.706 --> 00:04:11.708
- HOW DO YOU KNOW IF YOU'RE BECOMING LIKE JESUS CHRIST?
- 00:04:11.708 --> 00:04:14.644
- NUMBER ONE, HOW DO YOU BEHAVE AT HOME?
- 00:04:14.644 --> 00:04:17.880
- AND NUMBER TWO, HOW DO YOU BEHAVE AT WORK?
- 00:04:17.880 --> 00:04:20.983
- THE HOME AND THE WORKPLACE ARE THE CRUCIBLES
- 00:04:20.983 --> 00:04:23.953
- THAT TEST WHETHER OR NOT WE'RE LIKE JESUS CHRIST.
- 00:04:23.953 --> 00:04:27.924
- FIRST OF ALL, LET'S LOOK AT THE HOME.
- 00:04:27.924 --> 00:04:29.892
- BILLY GRAHAM SAID ONE TIME,
- 00:04:29.892 --> 00:04:31.361
- "THE TEST OF A CHRISTIAN IS HOW HE BEHAVES AT HOME,"
- 00:04:31.361 --> 00:04:36.933
- AND PAUL SAID THE SAME THING.
- 00:04:36.933 --> 00:04:38.167
- LOOK AT COLOSSIANS 3, VERSES 18 TO 21.
- 00:04:38.167 --> 00:04:41.070
- HE SAID, "WIVES, BE SUBJECT TO YOUR HUSBANDS,
- 00:04:41.070 --> 00:04:43.740
- AS IS FITTING TO THE LORD.
- 00:04:43.740 --> 00:04:45.875
- HUSBANDS, LOVE YOUR WIVES
- 00:04:45.875 --> 00:04:48.044
- AND DO NOT BE EMBITTERED AGAINST THEM.
- 00:04:48.044 --> 00:04:50.680
- CHILDREN, BE OBEDIENT TO YOUR PARENTS IN ALL THINGS,
- 00:04:50.680 --> 00:04:54.050
- FOR THIS IS WELL PLEASING TO THE LORD.
- 00:04:54.050 --> 00:04:56.552
- FATHERS, DO NOT EXASPERATE YOUR CHILDREN,
- 00:04:56.552 --> 00:04:58.988
- SO THAT THEY WILL NOT HIS HEART."
- 00:04:58.988 --> 00:05:01.958
- NOTICE HOW SIMPLE THESE COMMANDS ARE?
- 00:05:01.958 --> 00:05:03.493
- PAUL DOESN'T ADD A LOT OF BAGGAGE TO THEM.
- 00:05:03.493 --> 00:05:06.229
- VERY SIMPLE.
- 00:05:06.229 --> 00:05:07.797
- NOW, I KNOW THAT RAISES A LOT OF HACKLES
- 00:05:07.797 --> 00:05:10.833
- WHEN PEOPLE READ THAT VERSE.
- 00:05:10.833 --> 00:05:13.102
- NOWHERE, NOWHERE DOES THE BIBLE SAY
- 00:05:13.102 --> 00:05:17.006
- THAT WOMEN ARE INFERIOR TO MEN.
- 00:05:17.006 --> 00:05:20.143
- IN FACT, THE BIBLE WAS REVOLUTIONARY
- 00:05:20.143 --> 00:05:23.312
- IN WHAT IT TAUGHT ABOUT THE ROLE OF WOMEN.
- 00:05:23.312 --> 00:05:25.548
- DO YOU REALIZE IN THE CULTURE IN WHICH PAUL WROTE,
- 00:05:25.548 --> 00:05:28.317
- THE JEWS, THE GREEKS, THE ROMANS
- 00:05:28.317 --> 00:05:31.687
- ALL TAUGHT THAT WOMEN WERE INFERIOR TO MEN.
- 00:05:31.687 --> 00:05:35.458
- THE FACT THAT THE APOSTLE PAUL
- 00:05:35.458 --> 00:05:37.059
- WOULD EVEN ADDRESS WOMEN IN THIS LETTER
- 00:05:37.059 --> 00:05:39.095
- WAS A REVOLUTIONARY CONCEPT,
- 00:05:39.095 --> 00:05:40.930
- THAT HE WOULD TREAT THEM AS PEOPLE
- 00:05:40.930 --> 00:05:42.698
- INSTEAD OF A PIECE OF PROPERTY TO BE BOUGHT AND SOLD,
- 00:05:42.698 --> 00:05:46.135
- AND THAT HE WOULD ADDRESS THEM FIRST,
- 00:05:46.135 --> 00:05:47.904
- SHOW THE HONORED POSITION THAT THEY HAD IN GOD'S EYES.
- 00:05:47.904 --> 00:05:51.073
- NOWHERE DOES THE BIBLE SAY WOMEN ARE INFERIOR TO MEN.
- 00:05:51.073 --> 00:05:54.277
- PETER GOES ON TO SAYING IN 1 PETER 3:7,
- 00:05:54.277 --> 00:05:56.312
- "SHOW HER HONOR AS A FELLOW HEIR OF THE GRACE OF LIFE,
- 00:05:56.312 --> 00:06:02.418
- SO THAT YOUR PRAYERS MAY NOT BE HINDERED."
- 00:06:02.418 --> 00:06:04.787
- NOW, THIS WAS A REVOLUTIONARY CONCEPT, THAT WOMEN ARE EQUAL,
- 00:06:04.787 --> 00:06:08.191
- THEY ARE FELLOW PARTAKERS OF THE GRACE OF GOD IN GOD'S EYES.
- 00:06:08.191 --> 00:06:14.063
- SO WHATEVER SUBMISSION MEANS,
- 00:06:14.063 --> 00:06:15.465
- IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH INFERIORITY.
- 00:06:15.465 --> 00:06:19.135
- WELL, THEN HOW DO YOU EXPLAIN PAUL'S COMMAND
- 00:06:19.135 --> 00:06:21.537
- THAT WOMEN ARE TO SUBMIT?
- 00:06:21.537 --> 00:06:22.939
- LET'S LOOK AT THE DEFINITION OF THAT WORD SUBMIT.
- 00:06:22.939 --> 00:06:25.508
- THAT WORD SUBMIT IS A MILITARY TERM.
- 00:06:25.508 --> 00:06:28.010
- IT MEANS TO PLACE UNDER RANK.
- 00:06:28.010 --> 00:06:31.514
- YOU KNOW, IN THE MILITARY, THERE'S AN OLD SAYING.
- 00:06:31.514 --> 00:06:34.584
- YOU SALUTE WHAT?
- 00:06:34.584 --> 00:06:35.818
- THE UNIFORM, NOT THE PERSON IN THE UNIFORM.
- 00:06:35.818 --> 00:06:39.922
- THIS WORD SUBMISSION HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH WORTH OR VALUE.
- 00:06:39.922 --> 00:06:44.460
- IT HAS EVERYTHING TO DO WITH POSITION, AND LISTEN TO THIS.
- 00:06:44.460 --> 00:06:48.164
- GOD HAS ARRANGED OUR SOCIETY IN SUCH A WAY
- 00:06:48.164 --> 00:06:51.868
- THAT ALL OF US HAVE TO SUBMIT TO SOME HUMAN AUTHORITY.
- 00:06:51.868 --> 00:06:56.639
- NOT ONE OF US HERE IS A FREE AGENT.
- 00:06:56.639 --> 00:06:58.808
- WE ALL HAVE TO SUBMIT.
- 00:06:58.808 --> 00:07:00.309
- IN EPHESIANS 5:21, PAUL SAYS,
- 00:07:00.309 --> 00:07:03.079
- "WE ARE TO BE SUBJECT TO ONE ANOTHER IN THE FEAR OF CHRIST."
- 00:07:03.079 --> 00:07:07.483
- AND THEN HE OUTLINES THE DIFFERENT WAYS WE SUBMIT,
- 00:07:07.483 --> 00:07:10.419
- AND IF WE'RE ALL EQUAL BEFORE GOD,
- 00:07:10.419 --> 00:07:13.222
- WHY DOES GOD HAVE IT ARRANGED IN SUCH A WAY
- 00:07:13.222 --> 00:07:16.058
- THAT EVERY ONE OF US HAS TO SUBMIT
- 00:07:16.058 --> 00:07:18.928
- TO SOME GOVERNING AUTHORITY?
- 00:07:18.928 --> 00:07:22.198
- AND BY THE WAY, DID YOU CATCH THAT?
- 00:07:22.198 --> 00:07:23.599
- EVERY ONE OF US IS UNDER SOMEBODY'S AUTHORITY.
- 00:07:23.599 --> 00:07:26.102
- THERE IS NOT ONE OF US IN THIS ROOM
- 00:07:26.102 --> 00:07:28.104
- WHO IS NOT UNDER THE AUTHORITY OF A HUSBAND,
- 00:07:28.104 --> 00:07:30.072
- AN EMPLOYER, A NATION, OR A CHURCH.
- 00:07:30.072 --> 00:07:33.342
- EVERY ONE OF US
- 00:07:33.342 --> 00:07:34.810
- IS UNDER ONE OR MORE OF THOSE AUTHORITY STRUCTURES.
- 00:07:34.810 --> 00:07:36.979
- WHY IS THAT?
- 00:07:36.979 --> 00:07:38.114
- WHY HAS GOD ORDAINED IT THAT WAY?
- 00:07:38.114 --> 00:07:39.849
- LET ME MENTION TO YOU THIS MORNING.
- 00:07:39.849 --> 00:07:41.350
- I WANT YOU TO WRITE THIS DOWN, FOUR BENEFITS OF SUBMISSION.
- 00:07:41.350 --> 00:07:44.987
- FOUR BENEFITS OF SUBMITTING TO OUR GOD-ORDAINED AUTHORITY.
- 00:07:44.987 --> 00:07:48.824
- FIRST OF ALL, SUBMISSION, SUBMITTING TO AUTHORITY
- 00:07:48.824 --> 00:07:52.562
- TEACHES US OBEDIENCE TO GOD.
- 00:07:52.562 --> 00:07:55.531
- SUBMITTING TO AUTHORITY TEACHES US OBEDIENCE TO GOD.
- 00:07:55.531 --> 00:08:02.471
- DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE BOTTOM LINE ISSUE
- 00:08:02.471 --> 00:08:04.507
- IN THE CHRISTIAN LIFE IS?
- 00:08:04.507 --> 00:08:06.676
- THE BOTTOM LINE ISSUE IN YOUR RELATIONSHIP TO GOD
- 00:08:06.676 --> 00:08:10.613
- IS NOT DOCTRINE.
- 00:08:10.613 --> 00:08:14.250
- LET ME SAY THAT AGAIN.
- 00:08:14.250 --> 00:08:16.752
- THE BOTTOM LINE ISSUE IN YOUR CHRISTIAN LIFE
- 00:08:16.752 --> 00:08:20.856
- IS NOT DOCTRINE.
- 00:08:20.856 --> 00:08:24.560
- THE BOTTOM LINE ISSUE IN THE CHRISTIAN LIFE IS NOT FEELING.
- 00:08:24.560 --> 00:08:29.799
- GOD DOESN'T CARE WHETHER YOU GET SPIRITUAL GOOSEBUMPS
- 00:08:29.799 --> 00:08:32.735
- WHEN YOU COME TO CHURCH OR NOT.
- 00:08:32.735 --> 00:08:34.270
- THAT DOESN'T IMPRESS HIM.
- 00:08:34.270 --> 00:08:35.938
- GOD'S NOT CONCERNED WHETHER YOU KNOW ALL THE RIGHT ANSWERS
- 00:08:35.938 --> 00:08:38.808
- TO ALL THE THEOLOGICAL QUESTIONS.
- 00:08:38.808 --> 00:08:41.611
- WELL, IF IT'S NOT DOCTRINE, IF IT'S NOT FEELING,
- 00:08:41.611 --> 00:08:43.479
- WHAT IS THE BOTTOM LINE ISSUE IN THE CHRISTIAN LIFE?
- 00:08:43.479 --> 00:08:45.715
- IT'S OBEDIENCE TO GOD.
- 00:08:45.715 --> 00:08:48.384
- THAT'S THE BOTTOM LINE.
- 00:08:48.384 --> 00:08:50.953
- ARE YOU OBEYING WHAT CHRIST HAS COMMANDED YOU TO DO?
- 00:08:50.953 --> 00:08:56.826
- IN JOHN 14, VERSE 15, JESUS SAID, "IF YOU LOVE ME,"
- 00:08:56.826 --> 00:09:00.596
- YOU WILL DO WHAT?
- 00:09:00.596 --> 00:09:02.031
- "YOU WILL OBEY MY COMMANDMENTS."
- 00:09:02.031 --> 00:09:05.601
- THAT'S WHAT GOD IS INTERESTED IN.
- 00:09:05.601 --> 00:09:06.902
- MORE THAN ANYTHING IN YOUR LIFE AND MY LIFE,
- 00:09:06.902 --> 00:09:09.705
- IT IS WHETHER OR NOT WE ARE SAYING,
- 00:09:09.705 --> 00:09:11.974
- "LORD, WHATEVER YOU COMMAND, WHATEVER YOU WISH, I WILL DO."
- 00:09:11.974 --> 00:09:16.879
- JESUS AND GOD WERE EQUAL AND ARE EQUAL,
- 00:09:16.879 --> 00:09:21.550
- BUT JESUS WILLINGLY SUBMITTED HIS WILL TO GOD'S WILL.
- 00:09:21.550 --> 00:09:28.290
- THE REASON YOU AND I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE SAVED TODAY
- 00:09:28.290 --> 00:09:32.161
- IS BECAUSE JESUS SUBMITTED HIS WILL
- 00:09:32.161 --> 00:09:34.997
- TO THE WILL OF GOD THE FATHER.
- 00:09:34.997 --> 00:09:36.932
- PHILIPPIANS 2 IS THE CENTRAL PASSAGE THAT TEACHES THAT.
- 00:09:36.932 --> 00:09:40.369
- IN PHILIPPIANS 2, VERSES FIVE TO NINE, PAUL WRITES,
- 00:09:40.369 --> 00:09:43.673
- "HAVE THIS ATTITUDE IN YOURSELVES,
- 00:09:43.673 --> 00:09:45.908
- WHICH WAS ALSO IN CHRIST JESUS,
- 00:09:45.908 --> 00:09:48.144
- WHO, ALTHOUGH HE EXISTED IN THE FORM OF GOD,
- 00:09:48.144 --> 00:09:51.347
- HE DID NOT REGARD HIS EQUALITY WITH GOD
- 00:09:51.347 --> 00:09:53.816
- A THING TO BE GRASPED,
- 00:09:53.816 --> 00:09:55.584
- BUT HE EMPTIED HIMSELF, TAKING THE FORM OF A BOND-SERVANT
- 00:09:55.584 --> 00:09:59.221
- AND BEING MADE IN THE LIKENESS OF MEN.
- 00:09:59.221 --> 00:10:01.390
- BEING FOUND IN THE APPEARANCE AS A MAN,
- 00:10:01.390 --> 00:10:03.459
- HE HUMBLED HIMSELF BY BECOMING OBEDIENT,
- 00:10:03.459 --> 00:10:09.832
- OBEDIENT TO THE POINT OF DEATH, EVEN DEATH ON A CROSS.
- 00:10:09.832 --> 00:10:11.934
- FOR THIS REASON ALSO GOD HIGHLY EXALTED HIM,
- 00:10:11.934 --> 00:10:15.471
- AND BESTOWED UPON HIM THE NAME WHICH IS ABOVE EVERY NAME."
- 00:10:15.471 --> 00:10:19.341
- YOU GET THE PICTURE?
- 00:10:19.341 --> 00:10:20.843
- JESUS AND GOD, YOU KNOW, ONE GOD AND THREE PERSONS.
- 00:10:20.843 --> 00:10:25.281
- I DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT, EITHER, BUT THAT'S WHAT YOU HAVE.
- 00:10:25.281 --> 00:10:28.084
- YOU HAVE GOD THE FATHER, GOD THE SON, EQUAL IN EVERY WAY,
- 00:10:28.084 --> 00:10:31.854
- BUT THE SON WILLINGLY PLACES HIMSELF
- 00:10:31.854 --> 00:10:34.990
- UNDER THE FATHER'S AUTHORITY
- 00:10:34.990 --> 00:10:36.726
- AND OBEYS HIS COMMAND TO GO TO THE CROSS.
- 00:10:36.726 --> 00:10:39.995
- YOU SAY, "WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO
- 00:10:39.995 --> 00:10:41.497
- WITH WIVES SUBMITTING TO THEIR HUSBANDS?"
- 00:10:41.497 --> 00:10:43.299
- EVERYTHING.
- 00:10:43.299 --> 00:10:44.734
- JOT DOWN 1 CORINTHIANS 11, VERSE THREE,
- 00:10:44.734 --> 00:10:47.470
- BECAUSE PAUL IS GOING TO MAKE THE PARALLEL
- 00:10:47.470 --> 00:10:49.772
- BETWEEN JESUS' SUBMISSION TO GOD
- 00:10:49.772 --> 00:10:52.208
- AND A WIFE'S SUBMISSION TO HER HUSBAND.
- 00:10:52.208 --> 00:10:54.977
- IN 1 CORINTHIANS 11:3, PAUL SAYS,
- 00:10:54.977 --> 00:10:56.879
- "FOR CHRIST IS THE HEAD OF EVERY MAN,
- 00:10:56.879 --> 00:11:00.082
- AND THE MAN IS THE HEAD OF THE WOMAN,
- 00:11:00.082 --> 00:11:03.719
- AND GOD IS THE HEAD OF CHRIST."
- 00:11:03.719 --> 00:11:06.822
- NOW, NOTICE THOSE LAST TWO RELATIONSHIPS.
- 00:11:06.822 --> 00:11:09.158
- JUST AS THE HUSBAND IS THE HEAD OF THE WIFE,
- 00:11:09.158 --> 00:11:12.895
- SO GOD IS THE HEAD OF CHRIST.
- 00:11:12.895 --> 00:11:16.866
- BEFORE YOU ARE MARRIED, LADIES,
- 00:11:16.866 --> 00:11:19.502
- YOU AND YOUR PROSPECTIVE HUSBAND
- 00:11:19.502 --> 00:11:21.704
- ARE ABSOLUTE EQUALS IN EVERY WAY.
- 00:11:21.704 --> 00:11:24.673
- YOU'RE EQUAL EVEN IN POSITION.
- 00:11:24.673 --> 00:11:26.509
- THERE'S NOTHING THAT SAYS IN THE DATING RELATIONSHIP
- 00:11:26.509 --> 00:11:28.778
- THAT A GIRL SUBMITS TO THE BOY.
- 00:11:28.778 --> 00:11:30.946
- IT JUST DOESN'T WORK THAT WAY.
- 00:11:30.946 --> 00:11:32.782
- YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY EQUAL.
- 00:11:32.782 --> 00:11:35.084
- BUT WHEN YOU CHOOSE TO GET MARRIED, LADIES,
- 00:11:35.084 --> 00:11:37.887
- YOU ARE VOLUNTARILY PLACING YOURSELF
- 00:11:37.887 --> 00:11:41.724
- UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF YOUR HUSBAND.
- 00:11:41.724 --> 00:11:44.627
- NOW, HEAR ME ON THIS.
- 00:11:44.627 --> 00:11:46.162
- THERE'S NOBODY THAT HOLDS A GUN TO YOUR HEAD, LADIES,
- 00:11:46.162 --> 00:11:48.364
- AND SAYS YOU HAVE TO GET MARRIED, OKAY?
- 00:11:48.364 --> 00:11:51.233
- THERE'S NOTHING THAT SAYS YOU HAVE TO GET MARRIED,
- 00:11:51.233 --> 00:11:53.869
- AND IF THIS IDEA OF SUBMITTING YOURSELF TO A MAN
- 00:11:53.869 --> 00:11:58.140
- MAKES YOU WANT TO THROW UP,
- 00:11:58.140 --> 00:11:59.809
- -DON'T GET MARRIED, OKAY? -(CONGREGATION LAUGHING)
- 00:11:59.809 --> 00:12:03.579
- OR CERTAINLY DON'T GET MARRIED
- 00:12:03.579 --> 00:12:05.548
- TO THE PERSON YOU'RE THINKING ABOUT.
- 00:12:05.548 --> 00:12:07.750
- I MEAN, IF YOU'RE CONSIDERING MARRYING SOMEBODY
- 00:12:07.750 --> 00:12:10.753
- WHOM YOU HAVE NO RESPECT FOR,
- 00:12:10.753 --> 00:12:13.088
- WHO YOU DON'T TRUST IN THEIR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD,
- 00:12:13.088 --> 00:12:15.958
- THAT GOD CAN SPEAK THROUGH THAT PERSON,
- 00:12:15.958 --> 00:12:18.627
- IF YOU HAVE NO CONFIDENCE
- 00:12:18.627 --> 00:12:20.162
- THAT THIS GUY YOU'RE THINKING ABOUT MARRYING
- 00:12:20.162 --> 00:12:22.531
- IS WILLING TO PUT YOUR INTERESTS ABOVE HIS OWN,
- 00:12:22.531 --> 00:12:27.436
- THEN YOU DON'T WANT TO SUBMIT TO SOMEBODY LIKE THAT.
- 00:12:27.436 --> 00:12:29.338
- DON'T GET MARRIED.
- 00:12:29.338 --> 00:12:30.773
- BUT IF YOU CHOOSE TO GET MARRIED,
- 00:12:30.773 --> 00:12:32.808
- YOU ARE CHOOSING ON YOUR OWN, VOLUNTARILY,
- 00:12:32.808 --> 00:12:35.778
- TO PLACE YOURSELF UNDER HIS AUTHORITY,
- 00:12:35.778 --> 00:12:38.280
- JUST LIKE JESUS VOLUNTARILY PLACED HIMSELF
- 00:12:38.280 --> 00:12:41.817
- UNDER THE FATHER'S AUTHORITY.
- 00:12:41.817 --> 00:12:43.586
- NOW, THAT'S WHAT HE IS SAYING HERE,
- 00:12:43.586 --> 00:12:45.387
- AND THE BIBLE SAYS WHEN WE LEARN TO SUBMIT
- 00:12:45.387 --> 00:12:48.557
- TO THAT GOVERNING AUTHORITY, WHATEVER IT IS,
- 00:12:48.557 --> 00:12:51.227
- WE ALSO ARE LEARNING OBEDIENCE TO GOD.
- 00:12:51.227 --> 00:12:53.863
- HERE'S A SECOND BENEFIT OF SUBMISSION.
- 00:12:53.863 --> 00:12:56.265
- SUBMITTING TO AUTHORITY PROVIDES ORDERLINESS IN SOCIETY.
- 00:12:56.265 --> 00:13:00.436
- IT PROVIDES ORDERLINESS IN SOCIETY.
- 00:13:00.436 --> 00:13:03.772
- IN JUDGES 21:25, THERE IS A WELL-KNOWN DESCRIPTION
- 00:13:03.772 --> 00:13:07.142
- OF WHAT WAS GOING ON IN ISRAEL BEFORE THERE WAS A KING.
- 00:13:07.142 --> 00:13:10.079
- IT WAS A PERIOD KNOWN AS THE PERIOD OF THE JUDGES,
- 00:13:10.079 --> 00:13:13.482
- AND JUDGES 21:25 SAYS, "IN THOSE DAYS,
- 00:13:13.482 --> 00:13:18.053
- THERE WAS NO KING IN ISRAEL.
- 00:13:18.053 --> 00:13:20.322
- EVERYONE DID WHAT WAS RIGHT IN HIS OWN EYES."
- 00:13:20.322 --> 00:13:25.227
- EVERYONE DOING WHAT IS RIGHT IN HIS OWN EYES.
- 00:13:25.227 --> 00:13:27.296
- THAT IS THE PRESCRIPTION FOR CHAOS IN ANY ORGANIZATION,
- 00:13:27.296 --> 00:13:33.502
- WHETHER IT'S THE CHURCH, THE NATION, OR THE HOME.
- 00:13:33.502 --> 00:13:36.972
- GOD HAS CREATED AUTHORITY STRUCTURES
- 00:13:36.972 --> 00:13:39.642
- TO MAINTAIN ORDER IN SOCIETY.
- 00:13:39.642 --> 00:13:43.078
- NUMBER THREE, SUBMITTING TO AUTHORITY
- 00:13:43.078 --> 00:13:45.080
- FREES US FROM UNNECESSARY WORRY.
- 00:13:45.080 --> 00:13:48.684
- SUBMITTING TO AUTHORITY FREES US FROM UNNECESSARY WORRY.
- 00:13:48.684 --> 00:13:52.187
- SOMEONE DEFINED WORRY ONE TIME
- 00:13:52.187 --> 00:13:54.690
- AS ASSUMING RESPONSIBILITY GOD NEVER INTENDED YOU TO HAVE.
- 00:13:54.690 --> 00:14:00.496
- WORRY IS ASSUMING RESPONSIBILITY
- 00:14:00.496 --> 00:14:02.498
- THAT GOD NEVER INTENDED FOR YOU TO HAVE.
- 00:14:02.498 --> 00:14:04.433
- A MAN CAME TO SEE ME ONE TIME.
- 00:14:04.433 --> 00:14:07.136
- HE WAS ALL WORKED UP
- 00:14:07.136 --> 00:14:08.404
- ABOUT WHAT WAS GOING ON IN HIS BUSINESS.
- 00:14:08.404 --> 00:14:09.905
- HE SAID, "MY EMPLOYER IS ENGAGED IN SOME UNETHICAL
- 00:14:09.905 --> 00:14:14.443
- AND I BELIEVE ILLEGAL PRACTICES,
- 00:14:14.443 --> 00:14:16.211
- AND I JUST CAN'T SLEEP AT NIGHT.
- 00:14:16.211 --> 00:14:17.646
- I'M SO WORKED UP ABOUT THAT.
- 00:14:17.646 --> 00:14:18.814
- I'M SO WORRIED ABOUT IT.
- 00:14:18.814 --> 00:14:19.748
- WHAT AM I GOING TO DO?"
- 00:14:19.748 --> 00:14:22.251
- AND I SAID, "WELL, HAVE YOU TOLD YOUR EMPLOYER ABOUT IT?
- 00:14:22.251 --> 00:14:24.286
- HAVE YOU POINTED OUT THAT WHAT HE'S DOING IS UNETHICAL
- 00:14:24.286 --> 00:14:26.755
- AND PERHAPS ILLEGAL?"
- 00:14:26.755 --> 00:14:27.990
- HE SAID, "YEAH, BUT HE WON'T LISTEN TO ME."
- 00:14:27.990 --> 00:14:30.059
- I SAID, "RELAX, THEN.
- 00:14:30.059 --> 00:14:30.993
- THAT'S NOT YOUR PROBLEM.
- 00:14:30.993 --> 00:14:32.828
- YOU'RE TAKING ON A RESPONSIBILITY
- 00:14:32.828 --> 00:14:34.596
- THAT GOD DIDN'T INTEND FOR YOU TO HAVE.
- 00:14:34.596 --> 00:14:37.499
- IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT THERE,
- 00:14:37.499 --> 00:14:38.734
- YOU CAN LEAVE AND GO TO ANOTHER ORGANIZATION,
- 00:14:38.734 --> 00:14:41.270
- BUT IF YOU CHOOSE TO STAY THERE,
- 00:14:41.270 --> 00:14:43.405
- YOU DO WHAT YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO DO,
- 00:14:43.405 --> 00:14:46.375
- AND GOD WILL TAKE CARE OF IT.
- 00:14:46.375 --> 00:14:47.676
- HE'LL TAKE CARE OF YOU.
- 00:14:47.676 --> 00:14:48.911
- HE'LL TAKE CARE OF YOUR EMPLOYER."
- 00:14:48.911 --> 00:14:50.913
- AND THAT'S TRUE.
- 00:14:50.913 --> 00:14:52.114
- WHEN WE OBEY THE GOD-GIVEN AUTHORITY
- 00:14:52.114 --> 00:14:54.650
- THAT HE HAS PLACED OVER US,
- 00:14:54.650 --> 00:14:56.285
- WE CAN BE FREED FROM UNNECESSARY WORRY.
- 00:14:56.285 --> 00:14:59.154
- YOU SEE, AUTHORITY AND RESPONSIBILITY GO HAND IN HAND.
- 00:14:59.154 --> 00:15:03.459
- MEN, EMPLOYERS, PARENTS,
- 00:15:03.459 --> 00:15:08.063
- IF GOD HAS GIVEN YOU THE AUTHORITY OVER SOMEONE,
- 00:15:08.063 --> 00:15:12.101
- HE'S ALSO GIVEN YOU THE RESPONSIBILITY
- 00:15:12.101 --> 00:15:14.370
- FOR THAT PERSON AND THE OUTCOME.
- 00:15:14.370 --> 00:15:16.538
- YOU CAN'T HAVE AUTHORITY WITHOUT RESPONSIBILITY.
- 00:15:16.538 --> 00:15:19.375
- YOU CAN'T HAVE RESPONSIBILITY WITHOUT AUTHORITY.
- 00:15:19.375 --> 00:15:22.344
- THE TWO GO HAND IN HAND.
- 00:15:22.344 --> 00:15:24.279
- AND WIVES, WHEN IT COMES TO YOU OBEYING YOUR HUSBAND,
- 00:15:24.279 --> 00:15:27.082
- YOU MAY DISAGREE WITH WHAT YOUR HUSBAND IS PROPOSING TO DO.
- 00:15:27.082 --> 00:15:30.753
- AS LONG AS IT'S NOT AGAINST GOD'S LAWS,
- 00:15:30.753 --> 00:15:33.756
- IF YOU DO WHAT HE ASKED YOU TO DO, YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY.
- 00:15:33.756 --> 00:15:37.359
- YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE AFRAID.
- 00:15:37.359 --> 00:15:39.094
- YOU'RE NOT RESPONSIBLE,
- 00:15:39.094 --> 00:15:41.530
- AND THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE RUNNING AROUND TODAY,
- 00:15:41.530 --> 00:15:43.565
- THEY'RE JUST BUCKLING UNDER THE LOAD OF CONCERN
- 00:15:43.565 --> 00:15:46.769
- BECAUSE THEY'RE ASSUMING RESPONSIBILITY
- 00:15:46.769 --> 00:15:48.704
- FOR SOMETHING THEY'RE NOT ULTIMATELY RESPONSIBLE FOR.
- 00:15:48.704 --> 00:15:51.640
- THE GREAT ILLUSTRATION OF THIS IN SCRIPTURE
- 00:15:51.640 --> 00:15:53.976
- IS FOUND IN 1 PETER CHAPTER THREE,
- 00:15:53.976 --> 00:15:55.911
- THE PASSAGE WE READ JUST A FEW MOMENTS AGO.
- 00:15:55.911 --> 00:15:58.280
- HOLD YOUR PLACE HERE AND TURN TO 1 PETER CHAPTER THREE,
- 00:15:58.280 --> 00:16:00.949
- VERSE ONE, AND THEN VERSES FIVE AND SIX.
- 00:16:00.949 --> 00:16:04.086
- PETER WRITES, "IN THE SAME WAY, YOU WIVES,
- 00:16:04.086 --> 00:16:07.156
- BE SUBMISSIVE TO YOUR OWN HUSBANDS,
- 00:16:07.156 --> 00:16:10.559
- SO THAT EVEN IF ANY OF THEM ARE DISOBEDIENT TO THE WORD,
- 00:16:10.559 --> 00:16:13.862
- THEY MAY BE WON WITHOUT A WORD
- 00:16:13.862 --> 00:16:16.098
- BY THE BEHAVIOR OF THEIR WIVES."
- 00:16:16.098 --> 00:16:18.000
- VERSE FIVE.
- 00:16:18.000 --> 00:16:19.501
- "FOR IN THIS WAY IN FORMER TIMES, THE HOLY WOMEN ALSO,
- 00:16:19.501 --> 00:16:23.338
- WHO HOPED IN GOD, USED TO ADORN THEMSELVES,
- 00:16:23.338 --> 00:16:26.341
- BEING SUBMISSIVE TO THEIR OWN HUSBANDS,
- 00:16:26.341 --> 00:16:29.478
- JUST AS SARAH OBEYED ABRAHAM, CALLING HIM LORD;
- 00:16:29.478 --> 00:16:34.249
- AND YOU HAVE BECOME HER CHILDREN IF YOU DO WHAT IS RIGHT,"
- 00:16:34.249 --> 00:16:37.586
- AND UNDERLINE THIS, "WITHOUT BEING FRIGHTENED BY ANY FEAR."
- 00:16:37.586 --> 00:16:44.026
- WHAT PETER IS SAYING IS SHE DID WHAT SHE KNEW TO BE RIGHT.
- 00:16:44.026 --> 00:16:47.496
- SHE FOLLOWED HER HUSBAND'S COMMAND, AND GOD PROTECTED HER,
- 00:16:47.496 --> 00:16:52.000
- AND THE BIBLE IS SAYING, LADIES, IF YOU WILL FOLLOW
- 00:16:52.000 --> 00:16:55.104
- WHAT YOUR HUSBAND ASKED YOU TO DO,
- 00:16:55.104 --> 00:16:57.473
- GOD IS GOING TO PROTECT YOU.
- 00:16:57.473 --> 00:16:59.942
- NOW, LET ME GIVE YOU A GOOD EXAMPLE OF THAT.
- 00:16:59.942 --> 00:17:03.312
- LET'S JUST SAY YOUR HUSBAND IS CONSIDERING A PROMOTION
- 00:17:03.312 --> 00:17:07.249
- THAT WOULD TAKE YOU AND YOUR FAMILY TO ANOTHER CITY,
- 00:17:07.249 --> 00:17:09.852
- AND YOU DON'T THINK IT'S A GOOD IDEA.
- 00:17:09.852 --> 00:17:12.721
- YOU HAVE HAVE EVERY RIGHT AND THE RESPONSIBILITY
- 00:17:12.721 --> 00:17:15.157
- TO VOICE THAT TO YOUR HUSBAND.
- 00:17:15.157 --> 00:17:17.159
- YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT AUTOMATIC, "OH YES, DEAR.
- 00:17:17.159 --> 00:17:19.161
- WHATEVER YOU SAY."
- 00:17:19.161 --> 00:17:20.395
- THAT'S NOT WHAT WE'RE SUGGESTING.
- 00:17:20.395 --> 00:17:22.097
- THE FACT IS, YOU MAY HAVE A LOT MORE INSIGHTS
- 00:17:22.097 --> 00:17:24.266
- THAN YOUR HUSBAND HAS.
- 00:17:24.266 --> 00:17:25.701
- YOU MAY KNOW, FOR EXAMPLE, THAT YOUR CHILDREN,
- 00:17:25.701 --> 00:17:27.936
- WHAT IT WOULD DO TO THEM TO UPROOT THEM
- 00:17:27.936 --> 00:17:29.538
- AND MOVE THEM TO ANOTHER CITY.
- 00:17:29.538 --> 00:17:31.540
- YOU MAY POINT OUT TO HIM THAT HOUSING PRICES
- 00:17:31.540 --> 00:17:33.709
- ARE SO LOW RIGHT NOW, YOU'D TAKE A BEATING ON YOUR HOME.
- 00:17:33.709 --> 00:17:36.078
- THERE ARE ALL KIND OF THINGS THAT YOU COULD SHARE,
- 00:17:36.078 --> 00:17:38.847
- AND IF YOUR HUSBAND IS WISE, HE WILL LISTEN TO YOUR COUNCIL.
- 00:17:38.847 --> 00:17:44.953
- BUT IN THE FINAL ANALYSIS, IF HE SAYS,
- 00:17:44.953 --> 00:17:46.355
- "I BELIEVE WE SHOULD GO,"
- 00:17:46.355 --> 00:17:48.924
- THE BIBLE SAYS YOU CAN GO
- 00:17:48.924 --> 00:17:50.392
- AND KNOW THAT GOD IS GOING TO PROTECT YOU.
- 00:17:50.392 --> 00:17:54.129
- NOW, I WANT TO SAY THIS ABOUT SUBMISSION,
- 00:17:54.129 --> 00:17:56.565
- AND THIS'LL SAVE ME A LOT OF EMAILS THIS WEEK, OKAY?
- 00:17:56.565 --> 00:18:01.270
- SUBMISSION IS NOT UNCONDITIONAL.
- 00:18:01.270 --> 00:18:04.573
- THERE ARE TWO QUALIFICATIONS FOR SUBMISSION,
- 00:18:04.573 --> 00:18:06.708
- TWO LIMITS TO WIFE'S SUBMISSION TO HER HUSBAND.
- 00:18:06.708 --> 00:18:10.512
- SUBMISSION IS LIMITED IN SPHERE AND IN SCOPE.
- 00:18:10.512 --> 00:18:16.118
- WRITE THAT DOWN.
- 00:18:16.118 --> 00:18:17.352
- IT'S LIMITED IN SPHERE AND SCOPE.
- 00:18:17.352 --> 00:18:19.154
- WHAT DO I MEAN BY THAT?
- 00:18:19.154 --> 00:18:20.455
- BY SPHERE, I'M TALKING ABOUT SIMPLY THIS.
- 00:18:20.455 --> 00:18:24.993
- NOT EVERY WOMAN IS TO SUBMIT TO EVERY MAN.
- 00:18:24.993 --> 00:18:27.729
- IT IS WIVES WHO ARE TO SUBMIT TO THEIR OWN HUSBANDS,
- 00:18:27.729 --> 00:18:31.667
- JUST LIKE 1 PETER 3:1 SAYS.
- 00:18:31.667 --> 00:18:33.702
- IN FACT, PAUL SAYS THAT REPEATEDLY, TOO.
- 00:18:33.702 --> 00:18:35.604
- HE SAYS, "WIVES, BE SUBMISSIVE TO YOUR OWN HUSBANDS."
- 00:18:35.604 --> 00:18:38.874
- THAT SIMPLY MEANS,
- 00:18:38.874 --> 00:18:40.375
- WOMEN, YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO AROUND SUBMITTING YOURSELF
- 00:18:40.375 --> 00:18:42.177
- TO EVERY MAN IN SOCIETY.
- 00:18:42.177 --> 00:18:44.246
- THE SUBMISSION IS ONLY TO YOUR OWN HUSBAND,
- 00:18:44.246 --> 00:18:48.617
- SO IT'S LIMITED IN SPHERE.
- 00:18:48.617 --> 00:18:50.452
- THERE IS NOTHING IN THE BIBLE
- 00:18:50.452 --> 00:18:51.920
- THAT KEEPS A WOMAN FROM BEING THE CEO OF A COMPANY,
- 00:18:51.920 --> 00:18:54.756
- A COLONEL IN THE MILITARY OR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.
- 00:18:54.756 --> 00:18:58.594
- IT'S NOT SAYING THAT EVERY WOMAN
- 00:18:58.594 --> 00:19:00.562
- IS TO BE SUBMISSIVE TO EVERY MAN,
- 00:19:00.562 --> 00:19:02.631
- BUT IN THE HOME RELATIONSHIP,
- 00:19:02.631 --> 00:19:04.333
- THAT IS WHERE SUBMISSION IS TO BE LIVED OUT.
- 00:19:04.333 --> 00:19:07.336
- SCOPE.
- 00:19:07.336 --> 00:19:08.170
- IT'S LIMITED IN SCOPE,
- 00:19:08.170 --> 00:19:09.671
- AND BY THAT, I MEAN THERE ARE TIMES YOU ARE TO REFUSE
- 00:19:09.671 --> 00:19:13.508
- TO DO WHAT YOUR HUSBAND SAYS,
- 00:19:13.508 --> 00:19:15.410
- AND THAT IS IF HE ASK YOU TO DO ANYTHING
- 00:19:15.410 --> 00:19:18.113
- THAT VIOLATES THE WORD OF GOD.
- 00:19:18.113 --> 00:19:20.782
- IF YOUR HUSBAND ASKS YOU TO DO SOMETHING
- 00:19:20.782 --> 00:19:22.451
- THAT IS ILLEGAL OR IMMORAL,
- 00:19:22.451 --> 00:19:24.386
- OR IN SOME WAY VIOLATES THE CLEAR TEACHING
- 00:19:24.386 --> 00:19:26.722
- OF THE WORD OF GOD,
- 00:19:26.722 --> 00:19:27.990
- THERE IS NO CHOICE IN THAT SITUATION.
- 00:19:27.990 --> 00:19:29.591
- WE ARE TO OBEY GOD, RATHER THAN MEN.
- 00:19:29.591 --> 00:19:32.561
- THE FOURTH BENEFIT OF SUBMISSION,
- 00:19:32.561 --> 00:19:34.229
- SUBMITTING TO AUTHORITY GIVES US DIRECTION IN LIFE.
- 00:19:34.229 --> 00:19:38.267
- IT GIVES US DIRECTION IN LIFE.
- 00:19:38.267 --> 00:19:40.102
- WHEN I WAS YOUTH MINISTER HERE,
- 00:19:40.102 --> 00:19:41.870
- THE MOST POPULAR QUESTION TEENAGERS WOULD ASK WOULD BE THIS.
- 00:19:41.870 --> 00:19:45.207
- "YOU KNOW, ROBERT,
- 00:19:45.207 --> 00:19:46.708
- HOW DO I KNOW WHERE I'M SUPPOSED TO GO TO SCHOOL?
- 00:19:46.708 --> 00:19:48.910
- HOW DO I KNOW GOD'S WILL
- 00:19:48.910 --> 00:19:50.178
- ABOUT THE PERSON I'M SUPPOSED TO MARRY?"
- 00:19:50.178 --> 00:19:52.914
- MANY TIMES, I WOULD SAY,
- 00:19:52.914 --> 00:19:54.116
- "WELL, HAVE YOU ASKED YOUR PARENTS?"
- 00:19:54.116 --> 00:19:57.152
- AND THEY WOULD LOOK AT ME LIKE,
- 00:19:57.152 --> 00:19:58.387
- "WHAT PLANET DID YOU JUST STEP OFF OF?
- 00:19:58.387 --> 00:20:00.656
- ASK MY PARENTS?
- 00:20:00.656 --> 00:20:02.491
- WHY WOULD I ASK THEM?
- 00:20:02.491 --> 00:20:03.692
- THEY DON'T HAVE A CLUE ABOUT ANYTHING."
- 00:20:03.692 --> 00:20:06.662
- SO I WOULD KIND OF PLAY ALONG FOR WHILE.
- 00:20:06.662 --> 00:20:07.796
- I'D SAY, "WELL, OKAY,
- 00:20:07.796 --> 00:20:09.298
- HOW DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING TO DISCOVER GOD'S WILL
- 00:20:09.298 --> 00:20:11.366
- ABOUT WHERE TO GO TO COLLEGE, FOR EXAMPLE?"
- 00:20:11.366 --> 00:20:13.835
- THEY SAID, "WELL, I'LL READ MY BIBLE."
- 00:20:13.835 --> 00:20:15.871
- WELL, YOU READ ALL THROUGH GENESIS TO THE MAPS,
- 00:20:15.871 --> 00:20:19.207
- AND PROBABLY NOT FIND THE UNIVERSITY
- 00:20:19.207 --> 00:20:21.009
- YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO ATTEND IN THERE.
- 00:20:21.009 --> 00:20:23.378
- UNLESS IT'S BAYLOR, MAYBE, BUT I DON'T KNOW.
- 00:20:23.378 --> 00:20:25.180
- -NOW, THAT'S ANOTHER STORY. -(CONGREGATION LAUGHING)
- 00:20:25.180 --> 00:20:26.848
- NO, NO, NO, NO.
- 00:20:26.848 --> 00:20:28.517
- YOU'RE NOT GOING TO FIND IT IN THERE.
- 00:20:28.517 --> 00:20:31.019
- YOU'RE NOT GOING TO FIND THE NAME OF YOUR MATE IN HERE.
- 00:20:31.019 --> 00:20:34.456
- THE FACT IS, YOU'RE NOT.
- 00:20:34.456 --> 00:20:35.724
- THEY SAY, "WELL, I'M GOING TO PRAY ABOUT IT."
- 00:20:35.724 --> 00:20:37.225
- OH, REALLY?
- 00:20:37.225 --> 00:20:38.026
- WELL, GOOD.
- 00:20:38.026 --> 00:20:39.294
- WE OUGHT TO PRAY ABOUT EVERYTHING.
- 00:20:39.294 --> 00:20:40.529
- BUT NOW EXACTLY HOW DOES THAT WORK?
- 00:20:40.529 --> 00:20:41.697
- HOW DOES GOD ACTUALLY SPEAK TO YOU?
- 00:20:41.697 --> 00:20:43.498
- HOW DOES HE REVEAL IT TO YOU?
- 00:20:43.498 --> 00:20:44.466
- IS HE GOING TO WRITE IT IN THE SKY?
- 00:20:44.466 --> 00:20:46.101
- HOW'S GOD GOING TO ACTUALLY TELL YOU HIS WILL?
- 00:20:46.101 --> 00:20:49.805
- SEE, ONE WAY GOD SPEAKS TO US
- 00:20:49.805 --> 00:20:51.807
- IS THROUGH THE AUTHORITY FIGURES HE'S SET OVER US,
- 00:20:51.807 --> 00:20:54.343
- WHETHER IT'S OUR HUSBANDS, OR IT'S OUR EMPLOYERS,
- 00:20:54.343 --> 00:20:57.212
- OR WHETHER IT'S THE PASTOR,
- 00:20:57.212 --> 00:20:59.247
- OR WHOEVER IT IS THAT GOD HAS PLACED OVER US.
- 00:20:59.247 --> 00:21:02.117
- HE DOES THAT TO COMMUNICATE HIS WILL,
- 00:21:02.117 --> 00:21:04.419
- AND THIS IS SOMETHING THAT I WANT TO SAY THIS MORE NEXT WEEK
- 00:21:04.419 --> 00:21:07.155
- FOR TEENAGERS AND CHILDREN LISTENING.
- 00:21:07.155 --> 00:21:10.192
- EVEN IF YOUR PARENT IS NOT A CHRISTIAN,
- 00:21:10.192 --> 00:21:13.161
- GOD CAN STILL WORK THROUGH THAT PARENT
- 00:21:13.161 --> 00:21:15.163
- TO PROVIDE YOU DIRECTION,
- 00:21:15.163 --> 00:21:17.165
- BECAUSE IN MOST CASES,
- 00:21:17.165 --> 00:21:18.600
- PARENTS, WHETHER THEY'RE CHRISTIANS OR NOT CHRISTIANS,
- 00:21:18.600 --> 00:21:20.902
- THEY KNOW THEIR CHILDREN VERY WELL,
- 00:21:20.902 --> 00:21:23.071
- AND THEY LOVE THEIR CHILDREN.
- 00:21:23.071 --> 00:21:24.306
- THEY WANT THE BEST FOR THEIR CHILDREN,
- 00:21:24.306 --> 00:21:26.007
- AND MANY TIMES, THEY CAN PROVIDE GOOD COUNSEL.
- 00:21:26.007 --> 00:21:29.778
- AND IT'S THE SAME WAY FOR A WIFE AND A HUSBAND.
- 00:21:29.778 --> 00:21:33.181
- MANY TIMES, WIVES, GOD WILL COMMUNICATE HIS WILL TO YOU
- 00:21:33.181 --> 00:21:36.251
- AND FOR YOUR FAMILY
- 00:21:36.251 --> 00:21:37.552
- THROUGH YOUR HUSBAND.
- 00:21:37.552 --> 00:21:38.587
- NOW, AGAIN, THAT DOESN'T MEAN
- 00:21:38.587 --> 00:21:40.989
- THAT YOU CAN'T OFFER SUGGESTIONS.
- 00:21:40.989 --> 00:21:42.624
- IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT YOU SHOULDN'T SHARE YOUR INSIGHTS.
- 00:21:42.624 --> 00:21:45.927
- A WISE HUSBAND IS ONE
- 00:21:45.927 --> 00:21:48.764
- WHO WILL ALWAYS SOLICIT THE INSIGHTS OF HIS WIFE.
- 00:21:48.764 --> 00:21:52.234
- I MEAN, JUST THINK ABOUT PONTIUS PILATE
- 00:21:52.234 --> 00:21:54.669
- AND HOW MUCH TROUBLE HE COULD HAVE SAVED HIMSELF
- 00:21:54.669 --> 00:21:57.739
- HAD HE LISTENED TO HIS WIFE'S ADVICE
- 00:21:57.739 --> 00:22:00.075
- TO HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH CONDEMNING JESUS CHRIST.
- 00:22:00.075 --> 00:22:03.645
- HE COULD HAVE BEEN SPARED
- 00:22:03.645 --> 00:22:04.813
- AN ETERNITY OF SEPARATION FROM GOD
- 00:22:04.813 --> 00:22:07.082
- IF ONLY HE HAD LISTENED TO HIS WIFE.
- 00:22:07.082 --> 00:22:09.918
- AND HUSBANDS, HOPEFULLY YOU LOVE YOUR WIFE
- 00:22:09.918 --> 00:22:13.021
- IN SUCH A SACRIFICIAL WAY
- 00:22:13.021 --> 00:22:14.856
- AS SUCH WE'LL TALK ABOUT NEXT WEEK.
- 00:22:14.856 --> 00:22:16.725
- YOU LOVE HER IN SUCH A SACRIFICIAL WAY
- 00:22:16.725 --> 00:22:18.794
- THAT SHE IS MORE THAN HAPPY TO FOLLOW YOUR DIRECTION.
- 00:22:18.794 --> 00:22:23.331
- YOU KNOW, THE REASON MOST WIVES
- 00:22:23.331 --> 00:22:24.766
- WON'T SUBMIT TO THEIR HUSBANDS
- 00:22:24.766 --> 00:22:26.568
- IS BECAUSE THEY REALLY BELIEVE THEIR HUSBANDS
- 00:22:26.568 --> 00:22:28.170
- ARE MORE INTERESTED IN THEMSELVES
- 00:22:28.170 --> 00:22:30.439
- THAN IN THE WELLBEING OF THE WIFE AND THE CHILDREN.
- 00:22:30.439 --> 00:22:34.409
- NOW, I KNOW SOME OF YOU HAVE HAD YOUR GUARD UP
- 00:22:34.409 --> 00:22:38.013
- THROUGH THIS ENTIRE MESSAGE ABOUT SUBMISSION.
- 00:22:38.013 --> 00:22:43.084
- LET'S BE HONEST.
- 00:22:43.084 --> 00:22:44.586
- ALL OF US RESIST THE IDEA OF SUBMITTING TO ANYONE.
- 00:22:44.586 --> 00:22:49.925
- BUT THE FACT IS, IF YOU CANNOT SUBMIT
- 00:22:49.925 --> 00:22:52.727
- TO THE VISIBLE AUTHORITY FIGURES
- 00:22:52.727 --> 00:22:54.529
- GOD HAS PLACED IN YOUR LIFE
- 00:22:54.529 --> 00:22:56.231
- WHEN THEY ASK YOU TO DO SOMETHING UNCOMFORTABLE,
- 00:22:56.231 --> 00:22:59.167
- SOMETHING YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND,
- 00:22:59.167 --> 00:23:00.302
- SOMETHING YOU DON'T AGREE WITH,
- 00:23:00.302 --> 00:23:01.736
- IF YOU CAN'T SUBMIT TO THEM,
- 00:23:01.736 --> 00:23:03.138
- YOU'LL FIND IT VERY DIFFICULT TO SUBMIT TO GOD.
- 00:23:03.138 --> 00:23:08.043
- SEE, THE BOTTOM LINE IN OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD
- 00:23:08.043 --> 00:23:10.312
- IS OUR OBEDIENCE TO GOD.
- 00:23:10.312 --> 00:23:13.548
- A FREELY SUBMITTED WILL IS THE BEST EXPRESSION OF LOVE.
- 00:23:13.548 --> 00:23:19.454
- AS GARY MOON WRITES, "AT THE HEART OF OUR COMMUNION WITH GOD
- 00:23:19.454 --> 00:23:24.593

- THAT GOD IS USING YOUR GIFTS IN THIS WAY?
- 00:24:20.982 --> 00:24:24.252
- THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR LINKING ARMS WITH US
- 00:24:24.252 --> 00:24:27.022
