Submission: Not A Four Letter Word -- the title of my dad's sermon today on Ephesians 5:21. As a couple in our church were renewing their wedding vows today, my dad preached on submission. Wives submitting to their husbands. Children submitting to their parents. People submitting to the government.
Now a days, submission is a bad word. People think of submission as a completely negative thing. But Scripture insists upon submission. We're shown that:
- submission is not an option
- submission is not a mystery
- submission is not a curse
"Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ." ~ Ephesians 5:21
