We inherently look at abuse of power as the foundation that drives submission, especially in the man/woman relationship. Submission is not "keeping a woman in her place" but respectfully making a place together. Submission is not making a woman feel "less than" but feeds and supports her worth.
To be a true Christian, we must set our sights on being more like Christ. Christ was at respectful in all situations. Christ saw people - good and bad - through the eyes of the Holy Spirit. Christ was in submission to God the Father.
And Christ is the example for us.
Submission is NOT a Four-letter Word! Living strong by God's design
