“My wife honors me as king of my house and head of my tribe, submitting to me and every way. But I love her like Christ loves the church and in that way we’re submissive one to another in love. You see, people look at Ephesians 5:21-33 and get it all twisted; reading and adopting some verses and completely ignoring others. Some men emphasize the “obey” portion of wedding vows and completely ignore the cherishing, nurturing, and protective manner in which we must love our wives. But do you want a wife or a guard dog? Give me a wife and let’s read Ephesians the 5th chapter in its entirety; with the first verse telling us to imitate God and the following verses telling us how that’s done.” – Selvin Young (from the upcoming Omar Jones Trilogy)
