Good morning my friends. Welcome back. It is time for us to get our minds

aligned with the truth of God and that as you can tell from yesterday's episode can be a challenge at times because the truth of God often reveals things to us that we do not think of on our own.

In fact, things that would never come to us if we were just left to our own

devices. The passage we looked at yesterday in 1st Peter Chapter 3 is a great example of that because it speaks about an issue that is very

countercultural.

It is an issue that some people would read and say, oh that's an ancient concept it's very taboo it's not for modern

culture but I believe the word of God is relevant for today it is not some

ancient document that doesn't touch us where we live today. In fact,

passages like the one that we're looking at now in 1st Peter Chapter 3 are as

relevant as they can be because they take us back to a mindset.

And hear that word carefully today.

Mindset, it's a way of thinking, it's an attitude that we desperately need in our culture.

Now the subject that we're talking about is maybe what you would want to call the

S word, it's submission. It's a word that is a hot button, it's one that nobody really likes to talk about because it sounds like at first glance we are subjecting one person to another in some way that does damage to the first

person who's doing the submitting. But that is not what Peter, the Apostle, is saying in this passage. He is addressed the way that wives are expected by

God to submit to their husbands and we talked yesterday about what that does not mean.

One thing it does not mean is that they check their brains at the door

and that they have no way of being themselves or thinking for themselves. That is not the case.

You can read this passage and see that.

Now let's go on and we're going to see some other things it does not mean

to submit to one's husband.

We're going to pick it up in chapter 3 verse number 2
