Surely there are no two subjects that need to be discussed in these days more than the contrasting ones of submission and rebellion.
Rebellion is in evidence in every sector of our society. Children are being influenced to rebel in many ways, through their entertainment, their education, their clothing and even their toys just to name a few. Teenagers who listen to rock music are continuously encouraged to question their parent’s values and rebel against any form of authority. University students literally live and learn in an environment of rebellion. Housewives, especially young ones are encouraged to rebel against the authority of their husbands.
To be more specific some examples of rebellion are long hair on young men and extremely short hair on young women; Expensive designer clothes worn inside out with the label showing; Faded jeans hanging so low they just barely stay up and young men and even young women with tattoos on every visible part of their body.
It seems that anything that expresses rebellion is the in thing in today’s world.
It appears that our entire society has removed from its vocabulary the word submission and has replaced it with the word rebellion.
The main reason for the lack of submission we see around us is that we live in a post Christian era. Our society has very little knowledge of God or the Bible. This is true because America’s parents have failed to pass on to their children a Godly heritage. The youth of our day know about computers, sports and sports figures, Hollywood stars and the things of this world but know practically nothing of the God of the Bible. Many cannot name one single prophet or apostle.
In this book I have tried as thoroughly as possible to discuss both the above subjects. I have tried to emphasize why they are so vitally important to our personal well-being as well as to the very survival of our society and nation as we know it. It must be said that freedom cannot co-exist with open rebellion. When the citizens of a nation cease to be in submission to the God ordained authorities that He has placed in their lives, then restraints (laws) must be passed to keep them in check. Surely we are aware of the fact that every time a new law must be passed some of our freedom is taken away. A great American statesman of yesteryear said; “men that will not govern themselves from within must be governed from without.”
