Text: 1 Peter 3:1-7
On an isolated airfield in Europe, a small plane revved up its engines and prepared to take off. Suddenly, a lone figure raced through the pelting rain. Once onboard, he had a brief but heated exchange with the pilot, and then he spoke to the passengers.
His name was Walter Beech and he designed and built the plane on which they intended to fly. He tried to explain what his plane could, and could not do. He went on to say that his plan was not designed to fly in inclement weather. In spite of the importance of their trip he encouraged them to disembark.
But the pilot disagreed and argued. He boasted about the number of times he'd flown the plane and how it was built to withstand any environment. He urged them to stay on board.
Only one person, a woman, rose from her seat and bid her fellow passengers adieu. And with that the plane began its important trip. Within minutes, however, of taking off that plane crashed killing everyone on board. The lone passenger to survive was the one who listened to the advice of the builder. She was Eleanor Roosevelt, wife of President Roosevelt.
I Peter 3 is an important chapter for the Christian, although the world rejects its counsel. But before you dismiss these outdated words of an ancient crank, would you remember 2 Timothy 3:16? "All Scripture is God-breathed."
Today our theme is the most important quality in any relationship: Submission. When you hear that word you might think of Edith Bunker (All in the Family), who married a Neanderthal who refused to yield.
I realize that submission is an antiquated concept: it's for the cave-man. It's out-of-date. Submission normally produces a negative response in the minds of today's younger generation.
So, I decided to search for some positive meanings behind the word. I googled it, using every search engine on the internet. I even ...
