Tonight I want to ask the question and then begin to answer it, you know, why don't people submit?

You know, if folk realize that there is an authority to submit to, why do people fail to submit?

Well, that's a legitimate question, isn't it?

I mean, we need to find out because then I think a lot of people might change and they

might submit if they, you know, knew why they weren't submitting.

So let's answer that question from the Word of God.

Why don't people that are insubordinate and not submissive?

Why do they not submit?

Well, first of all, I think a lot of folk don't really know what submission is to begin with.

You'd have to know what something is before you could do it.

You know, you need to know what it is.

And a lot of folk that if you ask them, do you know what submission is, they can do it. You know, you need to know what it is.

And a lot of folk that if you ask them, do you know what submission is, they'd say yes.

But if you watch their life a little bit, they don't do it.

So they must not know what it is.

Are folk awake or what?

I mean, some of you looking for your Bible and some of you're wondering if you made the right turn, if you're in the right church or not.

Wouldn't that be true?

I mean, you know, if you ask somebody, do you know what submission is?

And they say, oh, yeah.

But you watch their life and they don't submit. Well, they must not know what it is. Either they say, oh, yeah. But you watch their life and they don't submit.

Well, they must not know what it is.
