Authority in the Home-1 Peter 3:1-7

I'm going to watch some of us are quicker to be obedient to the dumb because we don't lose our jobs in God because he saved us all. Why is that? Why is it why is it that a dog is asking you to submit and subject yourself, or they have a greater. Tuna.

What is it supposed to do that, but we can do it.

thank you for your I'm getting us into worship. Certainly, I know that they will need adjusting to worship. But I thank them for some ministering to my spirit. But if you can wake up this morning and think about everything.

Thank you. Lord. Had a choice and close you are to give God praise.

What's in your closet you trying to figure out what suits you was going to wear one pair of shoes you want to put on or how you going to accessorize you you ought to give God praise if you got to figure out. The church today you all to be one who give God praise. Because God is giving you the presence of a sound mind to be able to think some people can't think right this. Nissan for who can't move, they can't move under the impulse of their own physical ability. So so I don't know about you, but I just got to give him praise.

spirit

today just for a few moments. I want us to remember that we are preaching through the book of 1st Peter.

Peter is talking about a lively hope in the midst of trials and tribulations

In the context of persecution the church is static. The running because they're being persecuted for being Christians Nero has decided that Christians are the blame for what's wrong in the world. Sounds like a familiar song that's being played today. Christians are the reason for everything that is wrong today. this world I know what Peter says is that you have not been saved to Paris, but you have a lively hope one that continues to generate if you will more more because your life is not here and now just don't but your life is beyond here. Now if you'll life is only dealing with the here and now then that's a problem for you. if this is all You know if this is all the joys of life that you will ever know then you are in a world of hurt because this world is going to pass away and everything that's with it.

But if you have planted your feet and foundation and roofs in Jesus Christ when this world pass away, you will find yourself the blessed and they're both of the Almighty.

Father we thank you God for your goodness to us. And we pray now that you is only you change the Super Nintendo OurTime. Cause and be profitable to my brothers and sisters and to myself that the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in thy sight. Oh Lord, my strength and My Redeemer in Jesus name, we want to talk about the issue of authority in the home. Authority in the home. Now, I realize brothers and sisters that one of the things that we have to understand about this is that in the midst of conflict the first things that begin to their old is the structure of a Thor And when when the structure of authority in Rhodes what happens it is all structures that deal with sound of thority sound leadership is impacted now if it is worth it if it's a substance that is if it has the Staying Power Authority can also be the salvation of a Nation. a family what country? But in this particular case you have to understand sixties are Christians on the Run. What are things that can happen is we can forget our identity? We can't forget that at some point in time of my life that we said that we will bow the knee only to Krystal's. Jesus Christ is Lord. We will forget in the midst of Crisis if we're not smart that we had bowel the need to Jesus and to him we answer. Which had become a subculture in our world a world right now that really is chipped on Rebellion. Everybody is protesting everything. And the people as a set before that's the most responsible for everything. Are you people who believe in that book called The Bible? You people who have said that you trust Jesus you people who said that you have found faith in one that no one can see but everybody that claims him and believe in you people are the problem. They believe that been in this book and they're coming to the conclusion. That is also happening. Now. I don't profess that you are a Christian just looking people look at you with the like you got a third eye in the middle of those people that believe that the only way

That's what this says. It's in the last time I backed God spoke. He did not shut up. He said I am the way the truth and the life no man comes to the father, but by me come up different.

So the text here here this one that deals with authority in the home. In the midst of this contest the Apostle Peter addresses to different people in four different ways. The address is wives. Yeah, I know Betty Friedan Gloria Steinem all of her crew today like this passage. They weren't like this passes because they would feel like it suppresses the individuality of women. In fact, in fact is that Gloria Steinem? When his father say we don't need men? Yeah, I was right.

Nobody says he likewise in the hills of addressing the issues of Saint who in some sense of have forgotten them more eggs. And so he's referring back to First 25 we were as sheep going astray, but I now return to previous commitments, but he talks about now, there's some more coming back to that commitment recognizing that they have a husband. Dick's now if you are the bride of Christ your husband is Jesus. So he brings that out what he says likewise that is in the same way in the same manner. He was being subjection to your own Lord have mercy 00 law

when he says he says his subjects that poses a problem today now watch this I'm speaking to my boss the other day and we were putting some things in place in order to help the organization function better. And I said, you know, some folks don't like that. He said I don't care if they don't like Bill, I have to like it. It's not up for them to like they can like it or not. But the reality is this is how a business functions and if they want to function like a

Driving to talk to you about what you eat. Did he say he says it it doesn't. He doesn't need our opinion. Obedience. The reason why we are in the morning and do things to do in God's way in order for you to get God's results.

Yeah. He says be in subjection. I had a sister. I was due a premarital counseling. When did he say rabbit? Can you find another word I said another word about it says that one to make sure that you can

you can be submissive to the man that your daddy then that's telling you the evidently that's the wrong man for you. Don't jump the broom. if you can't say I will Why do. Stop? That way you won't have to worry about request somebody saying marry in haste. Felicia you make sure that you can do it in the text message. No hear that. There's a reason why this happens to happen till the 1st. Peter says here. He says it's about your witness ladies sisters. It's about you and the Mitch crisis watch this. We're having marital adjustment ladies, you know, when you ready to give that brother a piece of your mind and you can't afford to give away remember that is not about you. It's about to witness before God and everybody else. subjection to your own husbands If any obey not in World, they also May without a word be won by the conversation the word conversation be translated manner of life.

In other words a person can look at what's going on with your wife and know that they're following after God and it cuz they're not going off. Just what happened. Somebody says maybe there's something different with that one. as opposed to death now that want to think I've noticed here is that the Bible doesn't have a lot of good things to say about loud women. Because it says something it says that she's out of control. That she's not under the subjection. I watch this not a man, but even God.

Proverbs Chapter 7 first 11

and first thing he says here. Knows what he says she is loud and stubborn.

Now is she with out now in the streets and lies and wait at the corner. She caught him and kissed them with an imputed face and said unto him. I had peace offerings with me this day have I paid my vibe. That's not a pretty picture. But again turn the chapter 9 flip over the page. first 13 a foolish woman is clamorous in other words. She's loud. She is simple and knoweth nothing. What she said about the door her house on the Seton high place of City to call two passengers who go right on their way who is Simple let him turn and Heather and ask for him that one of understanding she said to him stolen waters are sweet and bread eaten in secret pleasant, but he know I'm not that the end is death and that should be dead and are there and that their guests are in the depths of hell not a pretty picture. Wow, climbers knot in the own place and it should be and this ruins their witness special case. What I've noticed is that the reason why some women allowed it because they're men.

You're so how did you come up with that?

Because Adam was Simon what happened was either it is she spoke because Adam didn't speak when he was supposed to speak and shoulder his

I just got what you find a passive man and allowed woman supposed to react to the fact that he's not doing what he supposed to do.

Don't marry a pass with me. Marion man that take some initiative Hairy man gets old do the job. Marry, man, who is scared to tell you? No. The first time I said, no, baby. I meant no the first time but just pissed.

Don't be scared just say no. What's at stake here is the witness in the miserable for the world tonight the thing he brings out and when a woman lives, what are you saying? It is that those who are around you see this particular Washington's husband because they also looking at your activity center around him and say you want to go to church you come over and hanging go to call the drunk. Guess what you'll never make it. just cuz you want him to

What is something about serving at brother?

One day the story is told of a man who came home and he he can't he came in the house and his wife said what would you like to have a hot meal? Would you like to have this?

true story had a friend of mine. He was married for 29 years. Toy Story his wife would put him on blast in the whole congregation.

Naval go home. He would have closed up to his knees. Trying to walk to the house. I went when he when he when he tried to get something to eat. It was better for him to go buy something then to expect something from home. true story true story and I remember when I was talking to him about this whole situation. He said Ronnie, I just couldn't understand. I just could not say he was the one he worked.

He paid for everything. So what do I do when he was already in church?

Who was home all day what to take care?

Skip this song. He said the thing that was an epiphany for him. What's the wife that he now had when he came in and everything was in place?

Are you still having hot holding up playing house?

Justice be a good Witness I know. I know. I know we model now. We don't want to be domesticated and all that stuff, but you are witnessing without work. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, but stuck at the he goes on here versus 1 2 3 he says watch this while they've been hold your Chase conversation.

You have Associated your activity with the fact that you have to report to God and not to mention if I do what God say do even if you don't like what I do cuz I'm called to be a Christian, right? It goes on. He says whose adorning let it not be the outward adorning a platinum hair some texts a trusting of the hair and I'm wearing a gold or putting on of Apparel Store. He says he would watch the sisters. It's not on what you wear on your house.

It's not what you got on on me. That should get people's attention. because man looks at the outward appearance, but

what's going on in here that needs? God is more interested in your department than anything else be based on what's going on in the inside of you because if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature and it should be a manifestation of the fact that Christ is Lord on the inside Jesus.

It's always somebody I'm saying that the Lord and the Lord of my tongue.

Oh Lord have mercy But let it be the hidden man of the heart. Even an ornament Meek and quiet Spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price. Is that individual who is home with me for him? If you don't like that today, and I told you. We like to be loud and proud.

We like to be out and about and rebellious and we feel like because we need to have a right to do so that we can know you can't.

you can't because you represent something greater than yourself tell me what is represent another organization. So I have to Tender my communication when does individual even though right I may be because my reputation is not at state of the organization. I represent represent. reputation destiny

Yes, they can fire. You know what some of us are quicker to be obedient to the government.

Is that why is it why is it that a dog is asking you to submit and subject yourself?

Play greater tuna.

We can do it. Because we expect immediate loss.

Do you realize that breaks out?

Do I have a new name that you graduated to unemployment?

I don't care what say we will we will nickel-and-dimed.

Pick up something happens. God can fix that for you.

What people don't understand is that God he is at work in you from the Philippians chapter 1 6 he's not going to have to do is be yourself to God. Oh my goodness. Oh my goodness verses 5 and 6 in. That's because when you trust in God that means that you are saying to God God. I trust I'm laying this whole thing on you. I believe in you to do what you say that you're going to do my truck in your garage and know that you got my vagibal handle this because I stayed everything on you. I'm trusting that you going to handle it.

But when you trust God you say God, do you see what's happening? And guess what? God does see just like he did with the children of God sees God Saves and he sends someone and it plays with us God and his son Jesus. I think we have to trust in Jesus to receive the Salvation that he provides the same situation. And he will send some Redemption to help you and you might say I don't know about this man. He still ain't found the Lord your guess what keep on trusting God. Stop doing the right thing because you keep doing the same thing until you see the results.

Tell me what time I was born.

Remember the first time I should have just me and my wife the chilling bored and me it was only.

What are you talkin about? What is in the business of defying all the odds for those people who never saw the benefit of sisters and brothers?

That is so good the promise and fulfill. Joey says here. He said she said she said he says he ever obeyed Abraham calling him Lord whose daughters you are as long as you do well, and I'm Not Afraid with amazement not worth what she saying. It is sure to recognize that. It was not a hater.

Lalalala. Lalalala. Lalalala. Lalalala Lord to him smaller when you but also the God that he served. She trusted and the god that she deserves.

Cuz we talked about Authority in the home. Is she one of the challenges?

Abyss word subject and submission is it is it is in fish pregnant with all of the bad things that people have said and done in the name of people being in submission. Almost as if when a man says be submissive he expects her to disconnect her brain. And that's just not the way to Bible function. That's not with the biblical pear diamonds. The biblical Paradigm is when submission is in order and his functioning and functions to a friend's day overall agenda of God and God never intended for anyone to be objectified to be taken advantage of to be pushed aside has never intended for any woman to be in that way because she is because she's represented and made in the image of God. She should not be the subject but unfortunately.

And because of that we have a whole movement now to come back.

Oh my God, does he said to Nora his perspective in Christianity?

Is that is about Redemption?

It's about God getting back that which is his name is Humanity which walks away from In the Garden of Eden Christian is not about you and me it's about bringing that back to him with walk away from in the garden. It's something that God says just in case has been well with you according to knowledge and I were you know, who your wife and you need to understand somebody say you have to withstand the stanwich data. Did you have to understand? That means you have to spend time with your wife to understand that I know if I'm in any environment with my wife.

Don't ever send me the first time me and my wife is driving beer, and I was driving somewhere and she was moving up trying to figure out what's going on with it.

How many first one the first time my wife she has Crohn's? And I remember we were at a wedding and that is sweating, you know, and you know me see I've been an athlete Run Track, you know my brother for examination, which I hate to go through but I go through anyway.

But what I didn't understand.

So now when my wife said you got to go we got to go. We got to go we got to go now fears of emotions of things that's going on on the inside of them according to knowledge giving honor unto the wife on her doesn't mean she's a step down and she stepped over this relationship all your friends over your boys over your business partners Eunice thing with this relationship over everyone of human origin over your kids.

Cuz you're the man of the house when you hear the man in the house right now because you're spending so much time with little Junior that you keep a guy you forgot. Don't Hammer something helping somebody out right now. If you where it is only one man of the house.

Somebody call the phone stand up front of me talking right now.

I'll talk to me somebody yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes I hear that. What you need to do is it is you need to if you will put them a coin and I was giving honor unto the wife through the week if he's not talking about she don't deserve. We have to acknowledge her for what she is for who she is your prayers. Oh, no.

So you a big man in the church? But you ain't a big man in the house.

Lauren Ambrose your spiritual

you a spiritual in the car? Yes. Julie you think? All the sudden you think that was going to happen is you going to open your hands up and you on?

Cuz your prayers are bouncing off the ceiling of heaven heaven will be as brass for you. Why because you had failed? To acknowledge your wife. You know, you can't make fun of your wife. You can't play games with your wife your wife. And I might add your the personal pronoun your wife.

Lord have mercy

yes the authority in the home. Has to be acknowledged for tickling the time of Chaos. By the time to really hone our skills. It's right. Now while we can all talk it there's no there's no major problems have because of the mr. Chaos people throughout organization. But God he put a structure in place in place in order that it might see his reflected idea about what he thinks about family not about what everybody else is thinking about all the world. It's about you recognizing that your walk should be dominated by meekness. Not by being Rebellion. Because it's about you and God before us about you. And anybody else now. And gentlemen, just in case you think you got on those. He gives you a warning.
