The relationship between parents and ...

The relationship between parents and children is a delicate balance, particularly for Christians. Neither parents nor children are perfect, but it pleases the Lord when children obey their parents and fathers do not provoke and discourage their children. Although raising children according to God’s word does not guarantee they will grow up to have faith, God has a way of bringing people back to Him if He wants them. ...

Paul’s instructions to wives and husband...

Paul’s instructions to wives and husbands are not about inferiority but about the order to domestic life. God made Adam and Eve equal. For their disobedience, both were cursed.

Paul’s instruction that slaves should obey their masters can be better understood after looking at how the book of Genesis describes slaves. Slaves were treated like part of the family, were entrusted with responsibilities, and had rights. We should do whatever we do as unto the Lord.

The slavery described in the Bible is not like the slavery of modern times. Slavery is a product of fallen man. God did not ordain it, but He worked with it for a purpose. Hebrew slaves were treated well, almost like a part of the family, and many willingly entered into servitude. We should all have a relationship of willing obedience to our Master. “God Never Ordained Slavery” Study Notes VF-2310 Some Mat...
