OUTLINE:

Take Hold, By Faith
We should receive His truth, whatever it is He reveals to us from His Word, so that we can enter His joy. (Jn 8:31-32, 15:10-11)

Humility
There’s no such thing as humility in the absence of authority-orientation; otherwise, who/what would you be “being humble” to???

Will You Receive It?
Slavery to Christ is a wonderful thing. It's freeing. (Ro 6:22, Jn 8:31-32)

Conclusion
If you want to live in peace, joy, and happiness, then obey your Master!

Obedience (aka righteousness) means peace.

It’s never enough to simply know something is true.

Godliness in families pays dividends for life!

The Value of Family
There’s an intrinsic goodness that blankets a godly family that is unmistakably a blessing from God designed to encourage such families to persist in the faith.

On Marriage and Family
A marriage and family of believers is designed to bring glory to God. That is the very first objective of both divine institutions for believers.

  • A Godly Family…
    Is an obedient family
  • Is a family blessed with hope and love
  • Keeps Christ at the center
  • Brings glory to God
Maximum glory to God is the result of His love being present in a family.

Proclamation never constitutes obedience. Action does.

Pr 17:7 [Amplified]
Fine or arrogant speech does not befit [an empty-headed] fool—much less do lying lips befit a prince.

Pr 17:7 [NLT]
Eloquent words are not fitting for a fool;
 even less are lies fitting for a ruler.

Pr 17:7 [Message]
We don’t expect eloquence from fools,
nor do we expect lies from our leaders.

Alexander Hamilton
(“Founding Father” of America)
Those who stand for nothing fall for anything.

What’s “Appropriate” Nowadays?
Answer: the same things that were appropriate thousands of years ago. God has given us a moral code, instilled it in us even before we were saved, and amplifies it as He sanctifies us. “Appropriate” isn’t a relative term when you have the Word of God present in this world.

Col 3:18
Wives, submit to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.
