Submissive Demeanor


All of us are under authority of some sort.


"For the Lord’s sake, submit to ALL human authority...

...with all respect. 


Do what they tell you—not only if they are kind and reasonable, but even if they are cruel.


For God is pleased when, conscious of his will, you patiently endure unjust treatment.


For God called you to do good, even if it means suffering, just as Christ suffered for you. He is your example, and YOU MUST FOLLOW IN HIS STEPS.

He did not retaliate when he was insulted, nor threaten revenge when he suffered.

He left his case in the hands of God, who always judges fairly.


(1 Peter 2:13, 18-19, 21, 23 NLT)
