We must understand what a wife’s biblical submission is NOT, because of the obvious questions: How far does submission extend? Is there anything to which a wife should not submit? Read or listen to this chapter from Your Marriage God’s Way for answers.

"I was invited to be one of the keynote speakers for a marriage conference. During one of the first planning meetings, the various speakers and the conference leaders came together to choose the topics for the messages. Many important topics were suggested, such as husbands loving their wives, intimacy, communication, and conflict resolution. Nobody mentioned submission, so I said I would preach on the subject. Immediately the tone in the room changed. While the other suggestions were met with enthusiastic responses, such as, “Sounds good…I look forward to hearing that message…That will be very beneficial,” mine was met with, “Umm…Uhh…Hmm.” You would’ve thought I had offered to speak on something completely unbiblical rather than the primary command given to wives that is very clearly repeated throughout the New Testament in Ephesians 5:22, 24, Colossians 3:18, Titus 2:3-5, and 1 Peter 3:1.
One of the other keynote speakers said, “I try not to use the word submit. I like to say defer, compromise, or consider.” The awkwardness continued when we filmed the promotional spots for the conference. My video probably took more time to be recorded than the rest of the speakers combined because there were repeated objections to me quoting Bible verses commanding wives to submit to their husbands. Interestingly, I did little more than simply recite the verses, letting the Bible speak for itself. I didn’t interpret them or comment on them, which reveals how much discomfort there is simply associated with what God’s Word says about submission."

Exodus 12 and Luke 23 connect in a powerful way: Jesus the Passover Lamb is examined publicly and declared innocent—yet still punished so the guilty can go free. This message highlights the necessity of a spotless substitute and the sobering reality that affirming truth about Jesus isn’t the same as saving faith.

Sermon:
The humility of Christ is one of the most astonishing truths in all of Scripture.
Though Jesus is fully God, He did not come into the world displaying royal splendor. He was born in poverty, raised in obscurity, rejected by His own people, mocked as a king, and crucified on a cross—yet He never stopped being King.
In this message from Philippians 2, I explore what Scripture teaches about Christ’s humility, the Incarnation, and why Jesus laid aside His visible glory without surrendering His deity or authority.
