The Grace Of God In The Home
March 16, 2017
Should a wife be submissive to her husband? Yes, but that doesn’t mean subjugation. What if your husband tells you to do something wrong, should you do it? No! There is a higher authority than your husband. As a matter of fact, there are men who have used the principle of submission as a weapon to club their wife rather than as a hammer to build their home.
Did you know that Jesus is the head of the church, but He has never forced me to do anything? He leads by love. I believe that children ought to be submissive to their parents. But some parents are so over-zealous in the matter of making children comply that what they do is raise rebels because they have not learned the grace of God in the home.
I’m not saying that there is not a principle of submission. If you hear me say that there’s not a principle of children obeying their parents, you’ve missed it all together. I’m saying that we need to put the sweet grace of God in what we do and how we live.
First Peter 5:5b says, “All of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility.”

Front Porch Moments by Gayle Foster
WITH KEY INSIGHTS FROM HER FATHER, ADRIAN ROGERS
I try to unplug each morning with Jesus with just my rocking chair, my Bible, and a pen.
Having a secret place is very important because I know that Jesus is always there waiting for me. I know where I can find Him! His presence is everywhere, but there are places where it is so thick you can cut it with a knife. You may not even have a front porch, but there is a secret place for you as well. God’s invitations are for anyone who will respond. There is no more important request than the one found in Psalm 27:8: “My heart has heard You say, ‘Come and talk with Me.’ And my heart responds, ‘Lord, I am coming.’”
