when not to submit when to submit..

Galatians 2:4-5
And this occurred because of false brethren secretly brought in to whom we did not yield submission even for an hour, that the truth of the gospel might continue with you.

We shall always respect and honor those in authority... however there are times we should yield no submission... this usually is in regard to the truth.... when we submit to a situation when we know it is not God's Will... God doesnt like it... Many who believed in Jesus those days were afraid to associated with Him becos they submited to the Pharisees... this is wrong... becos we shall follow Jesus above all... if a leader wants u to sin... your response must be bold and stand firm in truth... you dun have to be rude... but you should not submit.... but there are times God wants you to submit out of humility.... so we should always have a prayerful heart... the courage not to submit is sometimes hard.. as its usually easier to submit then to cause trouble... however we shall not submit when we know that God wants us to stand by the truth... too many christians submit out of fear... that is not good... we submit out of humility... and also submit only to rightful situation... never submit out of fear... stand firm in conviction if wat you are asked to do go against your conscience and peace of God...

Acts 5:29
But Peter and the other apostles answered and said; "We ought to obey God rather than men."
