Digital Logos Edition
Overview

Top Highlights
“a thoughtful faith and an intelligent love are the marks of a wise, mature Christian.” (Page 153)
“It is noteworthy in our litigious age that Paul stresses duties, not rights. To demands one’s rights is to guarantee one’s misery and to shatter the unity that God wants.” (Page 245)
“To be in submission, then, is not to be weak, unduly dependent or servile; it is certainly not to become a non-person. What Paul asks is that whatever the wife possesses she places in the service of her husband. She does not demand her way, she is not belligerent or assertive in a self-serving manner, she is not a ‘nag,’ if you please, but she cares about what is best for her husband.” (Page 248)
“When we fully comprehend what God has done for us, then nothing can dampen our joy in Christ.” (Page 135)
“More than one observer of the modern church has commented regretfully on the infantile state of most members. Looking to their pastor as father, they expect him to feed them, lead them, think for them, pray for them, serve for them, and protect them from all harm. They turn this passage upside down, demanding maturity of their leaders so that they may remain children.” (Page 210)
