Command and Teach

1Tim 4:11  These things command and teach.

We notice he doesn't says "These things SUGGEST and teach", but rather "COMMAND and teach". Rare today to hear preachers who give commands. Yet much of the Bible, and even this verse itself, contains not suggestions but rather commands.

Submission is one aspect of the regenerate nature. But submission is not exercised unless it is given a command. Yes there are those who resent being given commands. But that is generally because of pride. Commands are for the humble.

Thus consider as a Christian are you prepared to receive commands, and as a matured Christian are you prepared to give them?
