Crystal’s basketball coach decided to bench her for missing practices for church. How did Crystal respond?

Authority. Yup, I said it. For some of you, even reading that word sent shivers down your spine. Teenage girls in particular are not known for their love of “authority.” Yet in spite of our insides wanting to explode, there are lots of times that God calls us to submit to human authorities.

Maybe you know what submission is, but how do you do it? Jesus shows us three steps toward submission.

“I don’t know anything about it. But who cares? It doesn’t apply anymore anyway.” That’s one girl’s answer to the question, “What is submission?” Is she right? That’s what we’ll be tackling for the next several days.
