The Power Of Submission

Longtime pastor John Tebay has seen it all in more than a half-century of ministry: elder boards mired in disputes ranging from petty to major; church-splits over matters of doctrine; and senior pastors wanting their agenda to be rubber-stamped by a compliant board.The reason for moral, ethical, theological, and biblical divisions in the Church has more to do with people's attitudes about the way they work with each other, the process that entails, and communication with the rest of the congregation, Pastor Tebay contends. That process can be greatly enhanced when the pastors and the church leadership are on the same page regarding the principle of authority in the Church.In his timely book, The Power of Submission, John Tebay contends that our permissive culture's resistance to submission to authority needs to change-and change quickly. When spiritual authority is unclear, the potential for division, strife, confusion, and darkness among God's people and the world is highly intensified, always lurking and waiting to erupt.But when God is the source of authority and applied to the Church, the family, and individuals as laid out in the Bible, you will discover how the "power of submission" can change lives and change the hearts and minds of those in the Church and in church leadership.

“This book walks each of us through the reality checks we need in order to have the marriage we want!” —Shaunti Feldhahn, social researcher and best-selling author of For Women Only In today’s workplace, women are often rewarded for having type A personalities: driven, demanding, ambitious, and strong. Yet when it comes to their marriages, those same traits can backfire. After all, no one goes into marriage hoping for a promotion. What is a wife to do? April Cassidy knows this struggle firsthand. She thought she was a great Christian wife and begged God to make her passive husband into a more loving, involved, godly leader. Instead, God opened her eyes to changes that she needed to make, such as laying down her desire for control and offering genuine, unconditional respect—not just love—to her husband. Cassidy’s conclusions may be as startling to readers as they were to her, but The Peaceful Wife shares how she and many others have learned to reorient their lives to biblical commands—resulting in healthier, happier marriages. In the end, you’ll find The Peaceful Wife a powerful path to God’s design for women to live in full submission to Christ as Lord.
