Be Holy Spirit Filled And Submit Joyfully
A desire to submit without really doing so often ends up in a compromise. An unintervened compromise lives off the grace of God, but also loses that same grace at the same time. Submission is not about whether we can carry out certain truth of God, it is a state of our living – one that is constantly Holy spirit-filled, one that is living in the grace of the Lord. A joyful submission led by the Holy Spirit will surely bring subsequent submissions in Christ, as each submission not only gives one joy but also strengthens one from the inner being.

Battling Inferiority, Indifference, Lack of Zeal
In this fast-paced society and highly demanding era, we are trapped in a system, both knowingly and unknowingly. What is this system? At first thoughts, this system seems to sound like laws and institutions. Yet if we inquire further, this system is in fact a godless and man-centric mindset, which very quickly develops into a disbelieving culture. As believers of God, we can be easily immobilized by such a systemic culture. We involuntarily subscribe to a certain way of thinking in this system of ours, be it with regards to merits, successes, achievements, problem-solving skills, etc. Such a system hurts the human soul and makes it grow cold. Consider, what happens to the fallouts of this system? They are constantly battling with inferiority (about self), indifference (about life), and lack of zeal (to do what ought to be done). May God open our eyes to this reality so that we can be sensitive to the needs of this era, and with that, relate the Gospel powerfully and relevantly.
