Today, we're unpacking two teachings from 1 Corinthians--speech that uplifts and love that unifies.

God's plan for human relationships is first modeled in how our relationship with Him is formed. Love awakens a responsive submission. God never called His daughters to submit to lost or abusive men. He calls us to submit to a husband who is already submitted to Him. When a man pursues us like Christ pursues the church, leads and loves us like Christ--to the best of his human ability--that is a husband worth submitting to.
