Resurrection Mission Baptist Church of Berkley, Michigan, Oakland County, https://resurrectionmission.com presents Pastor Joseph Chatten with a message on "Wedlock or Deadlock?" (1 Peter 3:1-7).
          Even many Christian marriages are falling apart; marriage is something we have to work at. A marriage to an unbeliever is even more difficult. 1 Pet. 2:21-25. A Christian husband and wife should follow Christ’s example. Much of our learning comes through imitation; we will became better models and better achievers. Yet if we imitate the wrong models it will influence our character negatively. Why allow our minds to be cluttered with foolishness. Why not get acquainted with decent people and imitate their lives? We should not get our standards from Hollywood instead of heaven. The best thing a Christian husband can do is pattern his life after Jesus Christ. In Jesus Christ we see a wonderful blending of truth and tenderness. What is a successful husband? A man whose family respects and admires him. We need to spend time with Jesus every day and encourage each other in the faith. Husband and wife should practice praying together. A powerful word: submission. Subjection, in contrast, is a military term meaning to lace under authority. God has ordained that the husband is to be head of the home. As he submits to Christ, his wife should submit to him. This is not dictatorship. Submission does not mean the wife is inferior to her husband; they are partners. Submission means order and authority, not subjection. Gal. 3:28; Eph. 5:21; 2 Cor. 6:14-18.
