It depends on the right view of the church being subject to Christ and what that should mean for the right understanding of Ephesians 5, 1 Corinthians 11, Genesis 2 and 1 Timothy 2-3. The Father-Son relationship is an important issue but it should not be linked with the gender disagreement.<br />Phil AlmondPhil Almondnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2343277549128598933.post-24360549410654414472011-01-19T19:46:30.712+00:002011-01-19T19:46:30.712+00:00Thanks Michael, I'll have a read.Thanks Michael, I'll have a read.Rev R Marszalekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01831340057673771787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2343277549128598933.post-25641172124458396502011-01-18T17:44:00.630+00:002011-01-18T17:44:00.630+00:00Thank you Paul.

It is beautiful, especially this:<br /><br />As she pleaded with Jesus to be her Savior, I knelt at her side and re-dedicated my life to Jesus as Lord.<br />We married two months later and have steadily been growing closer to one another and to Jesus for almost 30 years. Since that day in July we have remained committed, however imperfect, to God’s kingdom purposes on earth as they are in heaven. Our marriage is based upon mutual submission to one another under the Lordship of Christ. When either of us fail in our responsibilities to one another (and we do), the other graciously seeks to restore the relationship under the influence of God’s Spirit and with the guidance of God’s Word. Gradually but certainly God is finishing the work he began in our lives through the glorious Gospel of Christ. To this end we are called and to this end we shall, by His grace, continue.<br /><br />wow<br /><br />Bless you<br />RachelRev R Marszalekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01831340057673771787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2343277549128598933.post-24913732627749604492011-01-18T12:32:16.577+00:002011-01-18T12:32:16.577+00:00Thanks so very much for these resources.
