u know the whole "wives submit to ur husbands yada yada yada..." deal in Ephesians... look what the MSG translation has to say about it:-
Eph 5:22 Wives, understand and support your husbands IN WAYS THAT SHOW YOUR SUPPORT FOR CHRIST.
Eph 5:23 The husband provides leadership to his wife the way Christ does to his church, NOT BY DOMINEERING BUT BY CHERISHING...
awesome eh?

Posted by winnie at July 1, 2004 5:13 PMthis probably doesn't really have to do with submission.. but one thing that Tim shared during one of his teachings was about the only commandment that comes with a promise:
To honor your parents.
I always had this idea that honoring = respecting = submission to their authority no matter what the situation.
But it was revealed that the word "honor" actually means to put weight on...so to honor our parents means to give more weight to their good points amidst their wrong decisions, authoritative tones, etc.
It's put a whole new light in my relationship with my parents...
hi winnie!!!! i thought you'd stopped blogging =) totally understand your frustrations. i don't think i've figured out this whole thingy too...
