It is so relevant and refreshing to hear a brother and Minister encourage the "body of Christ" about the principles of marriage! Thank you for sharing with us virtuous, Christian wife, mother's and servant of the Most High God the importance of submission and following our husband, priest, prophet, provider and protector as he follows Christ! The role of the wife is a "suitable helper, companion, encourager, and supporter of her own husband!😇
This video had some good information in it, however I noticed some statements said went against what Ellen G. White said in her writings and what the Bible stated as well. For example the pastor said at the 30:00 min mark that you will find "no where" in Paul's writings that the woman is to love the man and that God only tells the man to love. But according to the Bible Titus 2:4 "that they admonish the young WOMEN to love their HUSBANDS,"... The Bible does tell wives to love their husbands. The pastor kept saying that God never told Eve about eating from the Tree of Knowledge of good and evil and that God only told Adam. However, Ellen G. White says, "In the midst of the garden, near the tree of life, stood the tree of knowledge of good and evil... Of this tree the Lord commanded our first parents not to eat, neither to touch it, lest they die. He TOLD THEM that they might freely eat of all the trees in the garden except one, but if they ate of that tree they should surely die.{SR 24.1}" AND "Holy angels often visited the garden, and gave instruction to Adam and Eve concerning their employment and also taught them concerning the rebellion and fall of Satan. The angels warned THEM of Satan and cautioned them not to separate from each other in their employment, for they might be brought in contact with this fallen foe. The angels also enjoined upon them to follow closely the directions God had given THEM, for in perfect obedience only were they safe. Then this fallen foe could have no power over them.{EW 147.1}" The pastor says the Lord's way is for man to ALWAYS let the woman win arguments if there is a disagreement. But according to EGW, that is not true, "Let Each Graciously Yield-In the married life men and women sometimes act like undisciplined, perverse children. The husband wants his way, and the wife wants her way, and neither is willing to yield. Such a condition of things can bring only the greatest unhappiness. BOTH husband and wife should be willing to YIELD his or HER way or opinion. There is no possibility of happiness while they both persists in doing as they please.9 {AH 118.3} Unless men AND WOMEN have learned of Christ, His meekness and lowliness, they will reveal the impulsive, unreasonable spirit so often revealed by children. The strong, undisciplined will will seek to rule. Such ones need to study the words of Paul: “When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.”10 {AH 118.4} The pastor also never finished Ephesians 5, he did not discuss verses 24 and 25 which would add some light on the subject and it would go against a lot of what he was saying Eph 5:24"Now as the church submits to Christ, so also WIVES should SUBMIT to their HUSBANDS in EVERYTHING". This says the wife should submit in everything, that goes against your men backing up all the time. You only go over the woman's verse and don't finish the rest of the text. Again, although the sermon had some good information, I felt there were some inaccurate claims. I know people want to protect the wife from mean husbands, but let's not misquote scriptures or become so politically correct to accomplish that. Both husband and wife should love each other and be willing to compromise. But the Lord set the husband as leader in the home.
I wish my husband is like that. But praise God for being there for me.

Powerful. Thank you.
