Scripture Text: Colossians 3: 18-21
1. God has given us a proper order for the functioning of the home. It begins with the wiives to submit to their own husbands. If a wife is contentious, then she will be a disturbance to the peace in the family.
2. Submission does not mean inequality as both man and woman are created equal in God’s sight. Submission also does not mean weakness. It has to come from a willing mind to obey the Word of God.
3. Husbands are to love their wives and not be bitter against them even if they have done wrong. Love must be demonstrated with action of care and protection.
4. Children are to obey their parents in the Lord. To disobey our parents is rebellion and dishonouring to our parents. This displeases the Lord.
5. Fathers are particularly told in the Bible not to provoke our children to wrath. We ought to show praise when it is due and also show discipline when needed. In everything, it is to be done in love.
