For example, if a parent tells his child not to play in the street and he disobeys, he can be killed. God places elders as leaders and guides to help the younger Christians to mature. We need a submissive spirit to be able to learn from others. A necessary ingredient for a compatible union, in spite of the abuses that occur when men are wrongly taught about their headship, is that women submit to their husbands. First of all, we must understand that submission is an attitude and not just an action.
Submission begins in the heart.
There is a story about a little boy that was instructed by his teacher to sit down and be quiet. Because of his rebellious nature he did not want to do this, but was forced to by his teacher. Many times women who claim to be submissive are only outwardly going through the motions of submission while inwardly they are still resenting their position in life. Let me serve and not expect to be served. Create within me a lamb-like spirit even as Christ our Lord had.
