The Holy Spirit knows human nature. He directs us in the way from which we are most inclined to wander. Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands. No wife wants that, especially in this age of women’s lib! Husbands, love your wives even as Christ loved the church. Again, it is much easier to be tyrannical than loving, especially when one is considered the “boss!” Fathers, provoke not your children to wrath. We would rather carry a big stick and a big threat, than bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.
