1. Don't miss my Fall Conference Schedule
Would love to meet you and possibly YOUR DAUGHTER! (See details below)
Workshop: "Finding Your Sweet Spot"
So I took my friend's question into my quiet time and asked the Lord. I didn't get an immediate answer.
But one morning, not long after that conversation, I heard the Voice. The Voice was answering the question I had asked days before. I recognized the Voice, because...
(I had so many questions as it related this issue. But the world offered nothing that settled my heart. But God did - He assured me of His love for all people, but gave me the answer found in John 8:1-11.)
However, apart from Him, how will we know when to be silent... And when to speak?
Jesus PROMISES that when we spend time with Him on a regular basis, we WILL bear fruit. Fruit in every area of our lives! 
Nancy and Connie devote an entire chapter explaining this very misunderstood and misdefined topic.

John 15:5
Jesus says, "I am the Vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in Me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from Me you can do nothing."
His schedule was the same most every day: work and then out with colleagues to a bar for a drink.
It started as one - two nights a week... But soon, it was most everynight. Sadly, one drink led to many, which eventually led to an adulterous affair. Which resulted in the death of a marriage and the pain of a family torn apart.
I can still remember the voice on the other end of the phone. It was the voice of a mutual friend who had called to ask, "What went wrong?" She shared that our mutual friend had submitted and the marriage still fell apart.
I was at a loss for words. I didn't know what to say.
This same Voice seemed to say, "Apart from Me, you can do nothing... Apart from Me, submission is meaningless."
I went back to our mutual friend and asked, "What does her quiet time look like? Was the Lord telling her to, 'Submit to all these outings without saying a word? Never a word?'"
Proverbs 3:7 tells us, "There's a time to be silent and there's a time to speak."
Apart from an abiding relationship with Jesus - we can do NOTHING of any eternal significance. Did you notice the phrase, "Apart from Me you can do NOTHING." (my caps)
This passage is referring to EVERYTHING in life! From our parenting; our grandparenting; our marriages; our hobbies; our jobs; our ministries etc... And yes to submission in marriage.
There's a time to be silent - but there's a time to speak. To speak with respect but with great firmness. (Personally, I have to be careful, because firmness can become a BLAST if I'm not careful. The Lord and I are still working on this.)
Award-winning, The Politically Incorrect Wife
