Timothy Keller Quotes

Therefore, When Facing Any Problem In Marriage, The First Thing You Look For At The Base Of It Is, In Some Measure, Self-centeredness And An Unwillingness To Serve Or Minister To The Other. The Word "submit" That Paul Uses Has Its Origin In The Military, And In Greek It Denoted A Soldier Submitting To An Officer. Why? Because When You Join The Military You Lose Control Over Your Schedule, Over When You Can Take A Holiday, Over When You're Going To Eat, And Even Over What You Eat. To Be Part Of A Whole, To Become Part Of A Greater Unity, You Have To Surrender Your Independence. You Must Give Up The Right To Make Decisions Unilaterally. Paul Says That This Ability To Deny Your Own Rights, To Serve And Put The Good Of The Whole Over Your Own, Is Not Instinctive; Indeed, It's Unnatural, But It Is The Very Foundation Of Marriage.
