Welcome to the Upper Room. So glad you made it.
"Respect begets respect." How does that hit you? Do you believe it? Do you respect people first, or do you expect them to respect you first? Which comes first, the chicken or the egg? Does it matter? Who does it matter to?
These are questions at the center of most disagreements, marital issues, and divorces. Most men are looking for a submissive wife, but have no clue what it means to love a woman.
Since most pastors are men, the men seem to have the louder voice. Does the louder voice equate to it being true? What about the equally important aspect of love? Why are these noise makers equate shouting with the need for a loving husband?
It is not the loudness of noise, but the quality of the discussion that moves the needle. We need loving husbands, just as much as we need submissive wives. It is not the chicken or the egg. It is the chicken and the egg.
The mature person NEVER waits on others to do what is right. He or she always takes the lead in doing that which is right ALL THE TIME. They understand life is all about the seeds sown, not the harvest reaped.
The seeds guarantee the harvest, but the reverse is not necessarily true. Life is accessed by sowing, giving, and being proactive.
Let's pray.
The Saint.
