Colossians 3:18-4:1

Right attitude about authority requires:

1. Wives submitting to your husbands voluntarily. (v.18)
   * Submission does not cancel out equality.
   * Submission is not permission to abuse.
2. Husbands loving your wife joyfully. (v.19)
   * Love is activity. Activity is self sacrifice.
3. Children to obey their parents completely. (v.20)
   * Listen to your parents.
   * God has placed them as authority figure over you.
4. Parents to guard against a broken spirit intentionally. (v.21)
