Now more than ever it's so important to come together with other believers as a family to worship and pray together. In today's bible study Lance and Annabelle are talking about 2 Timothy Chapter 1, and the context around the verses.
How do we know when we're hearing God? What to do when couples don't have agreement? Find out on today's broadcast.
That Dirty Word…”Submission”
Ask any woman, having been weaned into adulthood in the embrace of the Women’s Equality Movement, ie., equal pay, burning bras, etc.–
And I will show you a woman divorced from her rightful place.
The role of nurturance was abandoned as mothers went out of the home to work, children were deposited into the arms of childcare centers and husbands were met with the confusing backlash of finding out their wives were more than convenient slaves.
“Submission ” implied whole-hearted caving in to the husband’s whims…a desperate distortion aimed at belittling men and enciting women to rebel against chauvinism.
Submission in its Biblical form is a state of agreement.
Because a man is engineered to think in broad terms of future and necessity and a woman’s gift is in today’s details and acquisitions, the woman is encouraged to find agreement with where her husband sees his family going. This doesn’t imply she has no say in the matter, or may not question him in how he arrived at his decisions.
She likewise requests that he find agreement in the methods she puts forth in exercising her perceived duty over the details of what he has proposed.
True submission is a two-way street.
We sometimes find we need help to be able to read the street signs.
Above all, honor one another.
