From now on you do what you want to do and I’ll do what I want to do. I’m not going to keep going back and forth with you about who’s going to lead this family!” http://truewoman.com/?id=1699 2011-05-26T16:11:27-05:00 One of the strongest objections I’ve heard over the years from wives goes something like this: “He’s not right! He doesn’t love me like Christ loved the church. Why would I submit to him? When he gets his act together, I’ll think about it.” http://truewoman.com/?id=1678 2011-05-26T15:54:22-05:00 For the most part, George and I had much in common. However, his ideas about roles within marriage were diametrically opposed to mine. The idea of being a doting, submissive wife was archaic and distasteful to me. I had not seen that example growing up and had no desire to break the generational mold cast for me by the women in my life. http://reviveourhearts.com/topics/downloads/index.php?id=9476 2010-08-25T14:11:59-05:00 Bunny Wilson, wife, mother, and author of "Liberated Through Submission," shares her insights with Nancy Leigh DeMoss in this powerful interview. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Mark%2014:36&version=NIV 2009-07-30T11:32:41-05:00 On the eve of his betrayal, Jesus prayed to God for rescue from the suffering he was about to endure. In the ultimate act of submission to God's will, Jesus here states his acceptance of God's will, whether or not his prayer is answered the way he personally prefers. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Eph.5.22-33&version=NIV 2009-07-17T09:27:01-05:00 Husbands and wives are both called to submit to and serve each other, using Christ's relationship to the church as their model. Because Christ's life was dedicated to serving others, that should be our model for relating to our spouses. http://intothyword.org/apps/articles/default.asp?articleid=36058&columnid=3803 2008-11-10T17:46:46-05:00 The Responsibility To Do Good! This passage has two main themes that tie together. The first is the role of the husband whose call it is to love his wife intimately, and with precious care. http://intothyword.org/apps/articles/default.asp?articleid=36042&columnid=3803 2008-11-10T17:45:06-05:00 Submission; Christ our Example! This passage is a tough one to understand in our postmodern, women’s liberation culture. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Most-Important-Relationship/Walked-On-But-Still-Victorious-4299 2008-08-21T10:38:34-05:00 I have a Savior like that. There are plenty of people who have no time for Jesus, no interest in Him, who have basically blown Him off. There are even people who consider Jesus something we used to believe in, something needed only be weak people. And in most workplaces and schools, you can hear Jesus' name used as a swear word most every day. Oh yes, His name has been trampled on. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Relationships/Simplifying-Your-Journey-3805 2008-07-30T16:53:22-05:00 And what do smart sheep do? Try to figure out where they're going to find some good pasture...or try to figure out which road is safe and which one is dangerous...or move in the direction that looks best to them? Nope. They do what my wife did traveling in that unfamiliar territory out West. They quit trying to figure it out for themselves and follow the One who knows every mile of the road! In John 10:27, Jesus says, "My sheep listen to My voice; I know them, and they follow Me."
