the nice things about expository
preaching is no one can accuse you of
choosing a
theme you start in verse one of chapter
1 and keep on going and you take what
comes and tonight we come to 1 Peter 3:
1-7 dealing with the all important
subject of the
home it so happens that a large
percentage of the people who live in
this near North side are not married
they are
singles it also happens that those who
are married most of them do not have
families and someone says why in the
world then preach about this subject
well for several reasons number one it's
in the Bible all scripture is given by
inspiration of God and all scripture is
profitable number two some of you are
going to get
married you may look in the mirror and
think it's pretty hopeless right now I
told you about the lady who sent her
picture to the Lonely Hearts Club and
they sent it back and said we aren't that
lonely some of us are married and it
doesn't hurt for us to hear this again
and be reminded of it and some of you
will be able to assist those who may
need this kind of assistance so we make
no apology for this theme tonight it's
the word of God and it's going to help
us Peter's been talking about submission
began back in chapter 2: 12 really where
he talks about in verse 13 submitting to
the ordinances of man verse 18 the
servants submitting to their masters it
talks about our Lord Jesus Christ who
submitted himself to the will of God and
so in chapter 3: 1 in the same
manner in the same manner as I have
described our lord
Jesus as being subjected to the will of
his father ye wives be in subjection to
your own husbands that if any obey not
the word that means they aren't saved
they may also apart from the word that
means without nagging and preaching and
hollering and arguing be one by the
behavior of the wives while they behold
your chaste conduct coupled with
fear whose adorning let it not be that
outward adorning of braiding the hair
and of wearing of gold or of putting on
of apparel now obviously he's not
talking about these things as things in
themselves otherwise he'd be teaching
nudism he doesn't say it's wrong to put on
on
apparel he doesn't even say it's wrong
to fix your hair and wear gold what he's
saying is don't make this the most important
important
thing but let it be the hidden man of
the heart in that which is not correct
corruptable all these other things are
even the ornament of a Meek and a quiet
Spirit which in which is in the sight of
God of great
price for after this manner in the old
time the holy women also who trusted in
God adorned themselves being in
subjection unto their own husbands even as
as
Sarah obeyed Abraham calling him
Lord whose daughters ye are as long long
as you do well and are not afraid with any
any
Terror there's a difference between the
reverential fear of verse two and the
terrifying fear of verse
6 in like
manner that's the way he started in
verse one talking to the wives and so he
talks this way to the husbands just as I
said we should be in subjection to
ordinances just as I said we should be
in subjection to our masters just as I
said said our lord Jesus was in
subjection to the will of God in like
manner ye
husbands dwell with them according to
knowledge giving honor unto the wife as
unto the weaker
vessel and as being hirs together of the
hindered we have in our society today an
amazingly strange
situation now here here it
is we have more studies on marriage than ever
ever
before we have more books and tapes on
marriage than ever
before we have more magazine articles we
have more experts more counselors and
more advisors available in this field
than ever before and yet we're having
more problems among married people than ever
ever
Christians something's
wrong I walk in bookstores often because
this is my interest and books are my
tools and I check out the section on the
home and it gets larger and
larger and you can find books in
Christian bookstores written by fine
competent Christian people on every
subject relating to the
home some of them very
explicit I reviewed a book recently on
the self-willed child my mother could
have used that
kid something's wrong we have this great
mass of information and yet for some
reason it's not distilling into the
hearts and minds of people and and I I
fear that there are many Christian homes
that are staying
reputation there has already been an
emotional if not a physical
divorce but not a legal
one this is
sad because the home is the one remnant
of paradise we still have on
Earth everything else was wiped out but
the family the home is still a remnant
of paradise now the Apostle Peter knew
something about marriage he was a married
married
man every once in a while someone says
to me I don't like to read what Paul had
to say about marriage you know Paul Was
A stagio
Bachelor I say what's rather interesting
Peter was a married man and he must have
been a good married man his
and if he could get along with his wife
and his mother-in-law and be able to
write things like this he knew something
and yet Peter says same thing Paul says
so you can't argue about
them Peter heard Jesus teach about
marriage Peter himself was a married man
and Peter was inspired by the spirit of
God to write these words and so he says
something to us we need to listen to and
you know all of this looks so
complicated but when you just look at it
and meditate on it and pray over it you
discover that Peter is saying
this a home can be a happy holy Christian
Christian [Music]
[Music]
Home a marriage can be something to
enjoy not something to endure
provided that the husband and the wife
fulfill their duties to one another
that's all he's
saying now says Peter to make it easy
for you I'm going to boil it all down
to two duties one for the wife and one
for the husband the wife has the duty of
submission the husband has the duty of
consideration now if the husband will show
show
consideration and if the wife will show
submission you won't have any problems
you may have some difficulties and
troubles you may have some hard places
to go through but those things instead
of pulling you apart will draw you
closer together you may have
difficulties to face but they will not
be weapons to fight with there'll be
tools to build
with and so I send you home tonight with
two words ringing in your memory submission
submission
consideration now before we look at
verses 1-6 where he deals with
submission I want to answer the question
bouncing around in the mind of some of
you because I have discussed these
things with some of you and some of you
who are
single have wondered why in the world
does Peter spend six verses talking to
the wife and only one verse talking to
the husband that's not fair there should
be three and A2 verses for the husband
three and A2 verses for the
wife we want this thing to be equal
equal rights all the way around well the
answer is so very simple ful do you know
what Christianity did for women when
Christianity was Unleashed in the Roman
Empire it completely changed their
status up until the time that the gospel
went across the Roman Empire women were
things they were just a smidgen higher than
slaves the husband had uh dictatorial rights
rights
women were not to be seen they certainly
were not to be heard though there were
Pagan homes where there was love and a
depth of
devotion they were somewhat
exceptional now the reason Peter has to
say more to the wife is because she had
a whole new
position in life being a Christian woman
gave her a whole new
status it was much harder for a woman to
become a Christian Christian
particularly if her husband was not
saved then it was for the man to be
saved you see in those early days if the
head of the household was converted it
was very natural for the rest of the
household to get converted the wife
would say I want to become a Christian
the children old enough to understand
would say we want to become Christians
not always but
often this is why you find households
being baptized in the New
Testament and so he has to spend a
little more time with the wife who all
new to her and he had to deal with
certain aspects of her new status in
society and in the home so he doesn't
give six verses to the women because the
women have six times more problems than
the men or because the women create six
times more difficulty than the men no
it's just that he has more to tell them
and it all balances together the wife
has the duty of submission and Peter
gives us three reasons why a woman
should be in submission to her husband
number one it is an obligation God says
so in the same manner ye wives be in
subjection to your own husbands it is an
obligation number two it is an
opportunity that if any obey not the
word they also May apart from the word
be one by the behavior of the wives and
number three it is an
ornament not only are you a blessing to
your husband but in submitting yourself
you develop the beauty of Christian
character and this he deals with in
verses 3-6 so these three reasons for
submission number one it's an obligation
number two it's an opportunity and
number three it is an ornament it's an
obligation God commands it in the same
manner ye wives be in subjection now
subjection is not subjugation
there are people who when they read
verses like this and like Ephesians 5
they they lose their insulin they start
developing the DTs and they say oh don't
talk to us about
submission because they think submission
means slavery that headship is dictatorship
lordship he uses Sarah as an example of
what a wife ought to be she called him
Lord when she got the word that she was
going to have a baby she said hey this
can't be my Lord is rather old and I'm
not too young
myself but you don't find that Abraham
was lording it over Sarah once he
listened to Sarah's bad advice and got
into trouble once he listened to Sarah's
good advice and saved himself some
trouble so subjection is not
subjugation subjection is the willing
loving accepting of my place in
society you see it goes all the way back
here to the ordinances chapter
2:3 submit yourself to every ordinance
now is it right for us as Citizens to be
under the authority of government yes it
is is the government always right no it
isn't do we have a right to rebel and
blow the place up because they aren't no
we don't there are orderly ways of
making changes
Verse 18 servants be subject to your
Masters is it right for an employee to
be in subjection to an employer yes it
is if you didn't you'd have chaos how
about our lord Jesus for even here unto
were ye called because Christ
also was it right for Jesus to come as a
servant and be in subjection to his
father's will yes if it is right for me
as a citizen to be under Authority if it
is right for me as an employee to be
under Authority if it is right for me as
a Christian to be under Authority then
it is also right for me as a husband for
you as a
wife to be under
Authority now Paul makes it very clear
in Ephesians chap
5 that this subjection is not
one-sided in verse 21 he
says that both husband and wife are to
be submitted submitted to the Lord
submitting yourselves one to the other
in the fear of God the husband submitted
to the Lord and therefore to the wife
the wife submitted to the Lord and
therefore to the
husband submission is not subjugation
now I'll tell you how you can tell a
difference some wife at this point may
be saying I wonder if I'm submitted or
subjugated well here's the difference
submission is a joyful Act of
Love subjugation is a difficult
fear submission brings out the best in
you subjugation brings out the worst in
you and in your
husband submission leads to Freedom you
become all that you can
become subjugation leads to
would it shock you if I told you the
Bible taught the equality of men and
women he tells us we are heirs together
of the grace of life he says that we pray
pray
together did you know that men and women
were made by the same
Creator they're equal in
creation they were made of the same
material dust
they were given the same dominion and
God blessed them and God said unto them have
dominion the same savior died for them
the fact that Jesus came as a man does
not exclude the
women the same savior died for them the
same Holy Spirit lives in them in Jesus
Christ there's neither male nor female
Bond nor free we're all one in Christ
the Bible teaches
equality I used to work for the Rockwell
Manufacturing Company I've told you that
several times I'm glad for that
experience I wish everybody going into
missionary work or Ministry of some kind
would spend a few years being knocked
around in a in a in a manufacturing
company and every once in a while
Colonel Rockwell would go through the
plant and you know what he was no better
than I I was sitting there at the clock
I used to punch the tickets and give the
fellas their work I was important you
know with the clock and here came the
colonel with all of his authority he's
no different no better than was I but he
had a different
Authority now if there is not Authority
in society you have chaos if there is
not Authority in employment you have
chaos if there is not Authority in the
church you have chaos if there's not
Authority in the home you have
chaos subjection has nothing to
inferiority the fact that I worked for
Colonel Rockwell did not make him
Superior to me or me inferior to him it
just meant there were different levels
of authority and if there were not we'd
valve so he's not talking here about
inferiority superiority he's talking about
about
order and Authority
and so submission is an
obligation and I'm going to ask a
question now in your home is there
competition now if two people get
married and there is the proper
submission to the Lord and to each other
you're going to have cooperation and it's
beautiful the wife knows his weaknesses
and she compensates with her strengths
the husband knows her weaknesses and he
compensates with his strength and when
there is that submission to the
Lord and to his authority there is
cooperation when one party says I will
not submit I am better I work
harder then you don't have cooperation
you got competition and dear friends you
can't build a home on
competition can't be
done so I'll say to you you single folks
tonight don't marry girls don't marry a
man you cannot lovingly sincerely be
submissive to I don't care how much
money he has I don't care what kind of
car he drives I'm not interested in any
of those things if you lovingly honestly
cannot submit to him don't get
married you're better off
in single blessedness than married custody
now there should be submission not only
because it's an obligation but it's an
opportunity he's talking to Christian
wives who got saved after they were
married he's not talking to Christians
who married unsaved people that's not in the
the
Bible it's wrong for Christians to marry
unsaved people don't argue about it
don't debate it don't discuss it it's
just there be not unequally yolked
together with
unbelievers oh but I prayed about it
Bible it's an opportunity here's a
Christian wife and she wants to go to
church and she wants to serve the Lord
and Peter says hey your first
obligations at home let's win your
husband how do you do it submission oh
but what if he asks me to do something
wrong you submit unto him as unto the
Lord and don't be afraid God will take
care of it
it's an opportunity an opportunity to do
what to be a spiritual blessing you know
one of the great joys of Christian
marriage is that a husband helps his
wife to grow spiritually and a wife
helps her husband to grow spiritually
that's the opportunity of submission now
where there's competition you tear each other
other
down and oh when a husband and wife want
to start fighting they got tools to do it
it
pouting you can't have any money there
are several weapons you can use in a
family if you want to fight
money words or lack of words the
children they're great weapons if you
want to manufacture some juvenile
delinquents in your home just do this
mother says hey you can't do that and
dad says oh yes he can and before long
the kids say hey we can play both ends
against the middle in this
house they're using us to fight each
other it's one of the worst things you can
can
do submission is an opportunity for
spiritual blessing he's saying to the
wife you'll never win your husband by
arguing with him and preaching at him
when I counsel couples about to be
married I sometimes ask the
question is there anything in the other
person's life you plan to change after
you get married that's an interesting
question they kind of look at each other
if they say yes I say then change it
before you get married because marriage
does not create problems marriage reveals
reveals
problems you say well I can I can
straighten him out after we get married
great do it before you get
married he's talking here to Christian
wives who were prone to argue and prone
to nag may I just say a word as uh one
who has been a husband for some 25 years nothing
nothing
will drive a man out more than nagging
nagging about I can say because we've
never done it nagging about money and
nagging about the color of the kitchen
and nagging about the now men can nag
too I know men who nag you know what
Peter is saying here he is saying to us
if we are submissive to one another we
don't need arguments we don't even need
words our actions our attitudes create
such an such an atmosphere in the home
that it's easy for us to get better and
the wife's attitude and the husband's
attitude creates such a beautiful
atmosphere that each one starts growing
and becoming
better now submission is not only an
obligation and an
opportunity and I'd like to spend the
rest of my time talking about the
opportunity how Christian husbands and
wives can build each other up be a
spiritual blessing to one another but he
goes on to say that submission is an
ornament verses
3-6 the tragedy back in Peter's Day in
the Roman Empire was that like today
many women live for fashion they
competed with each other in fashion they
had to have the most outlandish haird
they had to have the most expensive
clothing now Peter is not telling us
that it's wrong to look nice I think one
of the best ways for a man to be proud
of his wife and really want to be with
her is when she takes care of herself
and she looks nice no reason why a woman
has to be uncamp or a man for that
matter what he's saying is don't put the
emphasis there he's talking not about
externals but about internals about
character he's saying just as you want
the outside to look beautiful work on
making the inside beautiful work on a
Meek and a quiet Spirit that's just the
opposite of nagging work on an inner
beauty not a glamour not an artificial
glamour not the kind of beauty you buy
in a bottle now some folks need all the
help they can get and I'm not going to
argue about that we men have a tendency
sometimes that same way what he's saying
is develop Christian character
submission is an obligation God says do
it submission is an opportunity God can
work through through you submission is
an ornament God can work in you and
wherever you find a wife who's not
submissive you're going to find an
angular abrasive kind of a character
character
usually the wife who cannot get along
with her husband can't get along with
other people usually the husband who
can't get along with his wife can't get
along with other
people he's talking about building
character the home the Christian home on
to be such a place where the things that matter
matter
most are not prices but
values what good is a
$200,000 house filled with a million
home so he said you better live for the
things that really
count the ornament of a Meek and a quiet
spirit in the sight of God's of great
price now if God came down to my home or
your home home and began to put price
tags on things I wonder what those price
tags would
be here's this Shelf full of goodies
that you are so proud
of he might put a zero price tag on
that you see you can't build a home on
prices a home is built on values you
can't build it on externals it's built
on internals it's built on character
can't build it on
things the only difference between men
men and boys is that men buy more expensive
expensive
toys and sometimes those expensive toys
have a way of wrecking a home now we've
said three things to the wife we've said
submission is an obligation are you and
your husband competitors or Partners
we've said that submission is an
opportunity are you each changing the
other for the better can you really say
I am a better person spiritually because
of this Mar marriage and thirdly we've
said that submission is an ornament can
we honestly say that we are living for
the things that really count character
and not things well we must hurry I
don't want to give you the impression
the wives need all the preaching because
we husbands need it too in verse 7 he
says like men are you
husbands the husband says all right
Peter's going to go go to meddling now
yes he is and the word he uses is consideration
consideration
all that he says in in verse 7 is summed
up in one word
consideration he said if a wife is to
have submission a husband must have
consideration now what is consideration
it involves three factors
factors knowledge
knowledge
honor and
prayer if a husband is considerate of
his wife she has no problem being
submissive there isn't a Godly Christian
wife in the world who would not gladly
submit herself to the protection and the
provision and the blessing of a husband
consideration now consideration first of
all inv involves knowledge in like
manner ye husbands dwell with them
according to
knowledge I read a book once on
Einstein's theory general theory of
relativity please please don't ask me
what it
said I thought I'd show my friends how
smart I was I understood I I read the
book and put it down and said well I'm
glad that's over with somebody asked Mrs
Einstein one day Mrs Einstein do you
understand Dr Einstein's theory of
relativity she smiled and said no but I
Einstein that's
good every once in a while a wife will
say oh my husband's read so many books
and done this and done that doesn't make
any difference you ought to learn all
you can but you know a wife and a
husband need to understand each other
the first factor involved in
consideration is knowledge you dwell
with your wife according to
knowledge I went to get my license
renewed the other day not my marriage
license my driver's license they sent me
that notice that said we want you to
come down get your picture taken and
everything and so I went down there and
watched people I love to watch people
and went through the written exam just
like that and they checked my eyes and I
went through that and I stood in line
hurry up and wait I was watching people
I thought to myself you know you go
through an examination to get a driver's
license some of the people they took out
on the
Range and made them drive and rejected
them why because you can get an
automobile and if you don't know how to
drive and don't know what's involved you
can kill somebody if they had
requirements like that for marriage
I wonder what would happen you can you
can go down to City Hall and get a
license go find somebody to marry
you you're married no
preparation no training no examination
it's no wonder nearly half of our homes
are falling
apart now I could uh Bluff my way
through on my U driver's examination
maybe have an accident catch up with me
they'd say hey wait a minute man there's
something wrong with you that doesn't
happen they I don't I've never heard
them reclaiming a marriage license of
course you can't once you're married
you're married That's the Law of
God men need
knowledge I'm not complaining because of
all the books and tapes that are
available today I read them I wish I had
read some of them 30 years
ago so somebody said to Tim Le one day
my you've written some wonderful books
on raising children he said yes I wish
ago knowledge now what are we supposed
to know dwell with your wife according
to knowledge knowledge of how she's put
together and knowledge of her moods and
knowledge of her needs and sensitive
with the extra ear and listening with
the heart
now this involves communication you
can't have knowledge without
communication do you know that the
average American married couple spends a
whole 37 minutes a week talking to each
other without interruption about
something other than the children the
bills in the backyard a whole 37
marvelous how can a man say I know my
wife when he doesn't have any time to
her a year or so ago three pastors
called me up came in to see me each of
those three pastors had been through the
same experience their wives had walked
out on
them and I said to each of the men
weren't there some signals didn't you
catch any signals and one of them said
well I I can look back now and see that
they were there but I was too busy to follow
follow
them knowledge and so we husbands have a big
big
responsibility knowledge read the word
of God and find out what a husband's
supposed to be what he's supposed to do
and do it when all else fails read the
instructions which leads me to ask this
question of husbands and wives do you
understand each other better today than
you did a year ago is there
communication not just on the level of
things or the level of events is there a
communication on the level of real
excuse the term gut level concerns and
anxieties and
worries is there an openness and an
honesty that leads to
responsibility if he's going to show
consideration is honor dwell with them
according to knowledge giving honor unto
the wife as under the weaker vessel now
some of the feminists don't like that
there have been books written showing
how much stronger and better equipped
women are for life than
man maybe
so but generally speaking the wife is
looked upon as the weaker now it doesn't
mean that the husband is strong in
everything each man has a weakness each
woman has a weakness or more each of
them and as I said before the strengths
of the wife will compensate for the
weaknesses of the husband and vice versa
but he's talking here about honor
respect showing respect to
her courtesy
kindness opening the door for her not
slamming it in her
face oh what a tragedy it is when a man
is courting a woman and he can hardly do
enough kindnesses for her then he gets
married and he can hardly ignore her
anymore and he forgets to be a gentleman
now no woman has has any problems
submitting to a man who has knowledge he
knows what he's doing he understands and
who has
honor are you taking each other for
granted that's what Peter is saying
don't take each other for granted then
the third factor involved is
prayer as being HS together of the grace
of life that your prayers be not
hindered every married couple has an
inheritance now some refer this
primarily to the bearing of children
because children are an inheritance I go
much farther than that I believe that
when God brings a Christian man and a
Christian woman together and he joins
them in marriage he has an inheritance
for them and they are hirs together and
we are enriched together now he's not
talking about money
riches he's talking about the kind of an
inheritance that you can't measure with
slide rules and computers and calculators
calculators
that spiritual inheritance did you know
eternity and so there has to be
prayer now the husband is to be the one
to lead in this if there's one complaint
I have heard from Christian wives in
nearly 30 years of ministry it's this
pastor I would give anything if my
husband would only take the lead in
spiritual things he accuses me of taking
over and being bossy but I have to do it
it I can't think of a greater privilege
than for a young husband new husband new
wife to join their hands and hearts in
prayer every day read the word of
God I can't think of anything more
wonderful in our home than as the
children come along teach them how to
read the word of God and pray the family
prays together it's a privilege I
wouldn't want to give that privilege to somebody
somebody
else I jealously cherish the privilege
that I've had over these years of
gathering our family we read the word of
God when I've been out of town my wife
has taken over and done it hasn't upset anything
anything
prayer it's amazing how many Christian
couples do not pray together then they
wonder why they argue and why they can't
get get along with the children and why
things happen in fact U at the end of
verse 7 Peter dares to say that if our
home is not right God will not answer
prayer one of the thermometers for
measuring the spiritual life of the home
is answered
prayer I would rather at my funeral one
of the children be able to stand up and
say as we look back over our family we
see that God answered
prayer more than anything else he could
say because answered prayer is the
thermometer of spiritual life now if a
husband and wife are not getting along
with each other they can't
pray God won't
answer that's one of the rules of the Christian
Christian
home now we've said all of this I'm
going to wrap it up into a little
inventory and then we'll be on our way
are you Partners or
competitors submission is an
obligation are we both growing and
changing for the better submission is an
opportunity are we living for character
the things that really count submission
is an ornament
do we understand each other better
knowledge are we taking each other for
granted consideration involves
honor is God answering our
prayers consideration involves prayer in
other words these seven verses become
somewhat of a spiritual inventory for the
the [Music]
[Music]
home I recall some time ago a folder
came to our home through the mail one of
these occupant things and it was from
the fire department during National Fire
Prevention Week and it said there are X
number of Home Fires every day here take
an inventory of your home and here it
said about your outlets and your inlets
and this and that
I thought to myself that's a good thing
be terrible to have your house burned
down around you especially while you're in
in
it I thought to myself I wonder what
would happen if every year the church
mailed out an inventory to
homes and said husband and wife would
you sit down just take this inventory
half of the people who got it would be
angry you keep your hands off our home
but you know when they've got problems
you know where they run for help the church
there are times when I have to really
pray for patience not to say things that
I know I shouldn't say here's some
couple or here's some family they
haven't got time to come to church kids
can't go to Camp they won't go to Sunday
school then they have trouble and they
come to the preacher and I feel like
saying hey where you been for the last
year you can't say that that's
mean be good to take an inventory of our

better than ever

Love who does this for us

by Nature I want to fight I was born
