14LHDVD4-3 - Carla Butaud - ORDER, POSITION AND AUTHORITY - Donation $6.00 - God set up order in the earth, in the family and in the church. In the beginning the earth was an indistinguishable ruin, in confusion and chaos, without form and void. In any earthly kingdom they understand order. There are certain positions there, and everybody knows what their position is and the authority that goes with that position. They stay in that order. When a church or family is out of order, there is confusion and no sense of peace. In Ephesians God gives instructions for order in the home. Christ is the head of the man and the man is to be the head and savior of his home, just as Jesus Christ is the Head and Savior of His Church and laid down His life for it. As a wife settles into her position and submits to her husband’s authority she can enjoy her husband’s protection and provision. In that way she knows she is honored and cherished by him. Parents are then in position to take authority over their children. Peace will reign. Remember that the world and even the angels are watching us. Pray the Lord will guide us in our determination to employ His principles.
