Hi Cheryl,
Thanks for the “welcome” to your blog. I wanted to ask/answer the question posed in comment 7) . I consider myself to be a complementarian (although I cling to the essentials of the Gospel first and foremost). Men are called to love their wives sacrificially. We are all called to submit to the Holy Spirit. The use of the word “submission” can be very devisive. I don’t think (based on my limited knowledge of course) that Piper would consider himself to be “submitting” to Noel. Rather I think He is loving her sacrificially through obedience and submission to the Holy Spirit’s guidance and the example that Christ left for us all, more specifically in this case, for husbands. I am not in the place (physically that is!) to extrapolate more but would love to continue this discussion later. Thanks for being willing to have a dialogue.
