Submission in a 21st Century Marriage, pt. 1

 Does God still require wives to submit to their husbands in todays' world?  If so, how does that look amidst the invasion of feminism. What does the Bible teach about submission in a 21st Century Marriage.   Submission has nothing to do with equality, value or ability. Biblical submission has nothing to do with cultural interpretations and what they mean in a marriage. 

Submission in marriage is out of touch in our society primarily because of the influence of feminism. However, marriage is the centerpiece of every culture, society, religious institution on earth. There is nothing more important than a godly husband and wife, working together to do the things God has called them to do.  Does submission have anything to do with a good marriage, check it out and see what God says.

The Gift of Tongues

Perhaps the most controversial of all the spiritual gifts, Paul weaves through the various pitfalls over this spiritual gift. Speaking in tongues in Acts 2 was a miracle, speaking in tongues in I Corinthians 14 seem to be different and not miraculous, but under the control of the speaker. In Acts 2 the 120 were speaking known languages by the power of the Holy Spirit. In I Corinthians 14, the tongues seem to originate from the human spirit, not the Holy Spirit.

The Filling of the Spirit 

Three Greek words can be translated filling or full in the New Testament. One Hebrew word is also translated filling in the Old Testament. Together these words show four aspects or meanings to the filling of the Holy Spirit in the Bible. All four aspects of the Spirit's filling have a significant role our lives as followers of Jesus.  

The Ministry of the Spirit (Part 1)

The Baptism, indwelling, filling and empowering of the Spirit (empowering the in-the-moment spiritual gifts), empowering of the Body of Christ to make disciples, and the indwelling of the Spirit are activities that began at Pentecost and continue today.  Understanding these different doctrines will free our  congregations to do the works prepared for them before the foundation of the world, and assist church leaders in equipping their congregations. 

The Ministry of the Spirit (Part 2)

The Baptism, indwelling, filling and empowering of the Spirit (empowering the in-the-moment spiritual gifts), empowering of the Body of Christ to make disciples, and the indwelling of the Spirit are activities that began at Pentecost and continue today.  Understanding these different doctrines will free our  congregations to do the works prepared for them before the foundation of the world, and assist church leaders in equipping their congregations. 

 In this episode Paul explains what the in-the-moment (aka supernatural) gifts are and how they work. He shows how John MacArthur a famous Bible teacher, misunderstands how these gifts work, and how that misunderstanding is a large part of the division in the Church. 

Paul gives us five reasons every church should consider operating in the gifts of the Holy Spirit, and how to operate in the gifts without becoming a Pentecostal or Charismatic.
