A Wife's Choice

Was Sapphira correctly submitting to her husband in this situation?  We all agreed that she wasn't correctly submitting to him. For a more thorough explanation on biblical submission, we recommend The Excellent Wife by Martha Peace. In her book she takes time to correctly explain a biblical view of submission and does address how a wife should respond when her husband asks her to sin (chapter 14).  A wife can love her Heavenly Father so much that she can be bold and strong to tell her husband no if he asks her to sin. She is never forced to sin, but can trust that God will provide a way for her to escape if she is put into a situation (1 Corinthians 10:13).  Sapphira certainly had the choice to honor God and did not have to choose to be a part of his deceitful plan. What about you? Do you make excuses about why you sin?  Have hope that as you immerse your mind in God's Word, the Spirit will help lead you to make godly choices that honor God!
