first and foremost, thanks for your fa...hello! :) <br /><br />first and foremost, thanks for your faithful service to God. Think your blog has blessed many out there. May you continue to bear good fruits in the Lord and may God reward you in His perfect timing and His perfect way!<br /><br />i think what you shared here is so true... i am quite similar to your son in a lot of ways. my first reaction to an instruction which i don't agree with would never be submission. i would analyze the whole situation, think i know better, and if i really have to, then i will grudgingly do whatever i am told to do. a lot of times, especially after the results are out, i would gloat over the fact that the instruction wasn't good, and if we did what i thought we should in the first place, things wouldn't have happened so. i guess that can only be pride. it takes courage and maturity to submit. it's something i still struggle with especially so because i am a female.<br /><br />there's something that i would like to ask though. sometimes, because of what you have personally been through, you can be pretty sure that your point will benefit people more than what was instructed. in that case, do we still submit? i mean in the context of serving, those we are serving should be our priority (of course God has the greatest priority). so if something the authority says will not benefit the people, do we still do it out of submission? <br /><br />currently, my stand is always to do what is right, no matter what the authority says. because i have witnessed that even in church, those in authority are mere Man, just as we are. fallible, weak and easily tempted. yeah, so where to draw the line between what's right and submission in issues that don't directly involve sinning or nothikarihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11953294450145046554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8038305512987410123.post-55212636070214894462010-08-02T23:54:18.148-04:002010-08-02T23:54:18.148-04:00What would Jesus look like doing your job???What would Jesus look like doing your job???Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13384847935376503610noreply@blogger.com
