Submission is a controversial and sensitive subject in our society. As we define what it is, it is just as important for us to clarify what it is not. In this lab, John Piper walks carefully through 1 Peter 3:1–6 one more time to address potential objections to Peter’s radical vision for submission. (DesiringGod.org)
Principle for Bible Reading
Anytime we come to a controversial passage or doctrine in the Bible, we have to stop and ask even more questions. For instance, it is often illuminating, in addition to determining what the verses do say, to also ask what the verses are not saying. In this case, you might start by defining what submission is, but then you might also ask what submission is not, according to Peter.

I'm still trying to figure it out too! I'm a child of God that has a lot to say. I've been given a platform on the air to say it but I tend to be a bit lengthy so enter my website.
The "confessions" you see on my website are not the gossip kind but rather conversations with artists, authors, speakers and teachers within the faith-based community. Also, my journey has been colorful, rich and sometimes really hard so, I look for answers and respite through writing. My mom wanted me to write a book and I'm working on that, so bear with me as I fumble my way through.
I'm working on balancing my extremely fun work life with my personal life that is filled with challenges these days. I know that God will see me to victory so... welcome to my life.
