Wives submit yourselves and your own husband because it is a part of your duty to the Lord because it is an expression on via submission to the mark wives submit yourselves to your own husbands well I'll do it in this way do it as a path of your submission to the Lord. [00:06:46]
If every Christian wife today is concerned above everything else to please the Lord Jesus Christ she will find no difficulty in this paragraph indeed it will be a greatest delight to do what the Apostle tells us here I would go further never perhaps have we as Christian people had a greater opportunity of showing what Christianity really means. [00:08:56]
The first reason that the Apostle gives the wives for submitting themselves unto their own husbands is that this is a part of the order on creation it is a part if you like of God's ordinance of God's decree of God's will of what God has stated with regard to this relationship of men and women. [00:12:39]
The emphasis is put constantly upon the fact that man was created first not the woman you notice how the Apostles use that argument men was created first from which they deduce a priority from it they emphasize the fact also that woman was made out of the men taken out of the men and meant to be a help for men. [00:15:38]
The fall has made a difference indeed Genesis 3:16 does establish that let me read it to you again and to the woman he said now because of what you've done I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception from which one can that adduce the childbirth would probably have been painless where it not for sin and the fall. [00:21:12]
The wife is in this position to be subject to her husband does not mean that she is the slave of her husband it doesn't mean that she is inferior to her husband as such doesn't mean that for a moment we shall see this still more clearly when we come to consider what the Apostle says about the duty of the husband to the wife. [00:29:02]
The woman is different that she is the compliment of the men and that what he does prohibit is that a woman should seek to be manly although the woman should seek to behave as a man or that a woman should seek to usurp the place in the position of the power which have been given to men by God himself. [00:29:35]
The husband is the head he always had to stake the decision she'd supplied him with the reasons she'd shown him what the decision inevitably was but she was acting as a help meet for him she'd got these qualities that he lacked she was complementing she was supplementing she was really doing this very thing and the husband was the head. [00:38:50]
The failure to understand and to implement this very teaching that is causing most of the problems in the world today what is the basic problem in the world today it is the problem of authority the chaos in the world today is due to the fact that people in every relevant Department of life have lost all respect for authority. [00:39:36]
The appalling increase in divorce since the war is due to one thing only that men and women don't understand this scriptural teaching about marriage and about husbands and wives it is also the explanation of the breakdown in family and in home life which is again so obvious at the present time the family is ceasing to be the center that it was. [00:41:00]
The husband is deliberately the cating the position in which God has put him it's happening amongst Christian people but it's happening still more amongst the non-christian the husband is evacuating his own position leaving it in his laziness to the wife this is happening in many directions of course so many Christian people today won't touch politics. [00:43:20]
A matriarchal society with the women as the head and center of the home is a denial of the biblical teaching and is indeed a repetition of the original sin of Eve the problem is of course increasingly being recognized that is why you've got to have marriage guidance counselors and so on that LS how do they approach them they approach them in terms of psychology.
