“Femininity, Submission, and Male Amnesia” | Pastor Ron Kelly

[@mastiffpeople4868]

As a survivor of an abusive relationship, God can change a person. The hands that used to strike me now rub my aching body. Praying for both men and women suffering abuse. May they be converted.

[@clairine28]

Amen to God🙏

[@a.r.8987]

Praise God indeed! Blessings to you and yours! I wouldn't of been able to withstand that. However, I'm thankful you for your outcome and that now you are loved and cared for.....

[@LivingQuiteSimply]

Wonderful message! So many great points. Man and wife were created to complement one another. We’re wonderfully different, and help each other to grow in marriage when we work together. Marriage is a gift from God and He wants home to be the most sacred and peaceful place on earth. I loved how this message ended with the admonition to feed our marriage relationship- it’s so worth the time and money it takes.

[@patriciaheinrich6857]

I had such a beautiful marriage but my dear husband of 55 years had a heart attack the day after Thanksgiving when we were visiting in Michigan. I miss him so bad. I loved your sermon. I hope couples will listen and treasure every moment with their mate.

[@atiRenyaW]

What a powerful message, one that was so right for this moment. What a beautiful image that marriage is if it was done according to God's Word. I LOVE the fact that men and women are different because when we come together, we can achieve so much with our different strengths. I really appreciate this message. It also made me understand more the role of my husband and how much he carries as well. And how I must change accordingly. That is something I believe God wanted me to understand more deeply. 🙏❤️

It's so wearisome hearing about how "beautiful" this is from people who have never lived the horrible life that abuse brings. God set up a system that gave men absolute power, and any human knows that absolute power does.

Thank you Pr Kelly for the Word. I need this message. Praise God 🙏🙏

[@LilliNelleborg]

Powerful message, thank you 🙏

I married a highly respect SDA church elder. We were married 1 year, and he almost killed me in that year with his control. He was a master manipulator and hypocrite. I gave a painful testimony to the nominating committee when they proposed to make him head elder after the divorce that saved my life. They promoted him anyway. I was ostracized. That is the story of way too many women in conservative circles.

[@mereese1]

I've seen church boards keep wicked men in power so many times it isn't funny. Including the pastor who molested me and other girls in the church. Thank God my relationship with Christ has kept me faithful in spite of evil people. I pray that negative experience has not cast a shadow on your relationship with Christ. May God strengthen and keep you (and me) in His word, in spite of evil people in church.

[@violetstephanie1]

And this is why many women just give up on churches after being married to such persons

[@mereese1]

@violetstephanie1 so true. I was molested by my pastor when I was a young teen. I gave my testimony, and so did other young women to the church board and conference officials. My mother was also approached by this pastor in the presence of her children. She ran from him in our apartment. I witnessed this myself. He was moved to another church. I could have left the church. It's a miracle I didn't. One Sabbath he had me locked alone in the church. He had a hideous laugh and said, "I got you now!" I cried out loud the name of Jesus, and I watched the pastor immediately fall on his face. He couldn't get up off the floor until I was free. I literally watched him appear to swim on the floor until I escaped. I think that moment of power renewed my faith. That moment is dear to my heart to this day.

[@sunflower2594]

Absolutely! See my "testimony" above.

[@poszukujacprawdy]

Thank you for the message, dear brother in Christ

[@AC-nq1uj]

Thank you, much appreciated!!!

[@elmariekritzinger3666]

Thank you Pastor Kelly for the truth be spoken yet again without a doubt. May the Lord bless you abundantly as you keep faithfully bringing subjects that are much needed..even inviting to come for help..truly Christ like. Respect and communication absolutely important and most important in any marriage...building on the Rock Jesus Christ...sure we falter, but we have our Savior to go to and let Him help us. Nicely and rightfully said....Kids are going to move on and you and your loved one remain and love remains 🙌🙏 blessing to you and you family, your staff and all the Village church members all around the globe ❤

[@marymehlenbacher-sd4rw]

Amen, wish you were our pastor.

[@marilynmcdonald6899]

Excellent. So many say the wife should be submissive, and then fail to go on and teach the husband's role. While none of us is sinless I found out after an elder died that he was physically abusive to his wife. I used to sit in his Sabbath School class, and when i found out what he used to do, i felt ill.

[@gretacooper6080]

A lot of truth here but for those of us with decades of actual abuse we see it differently. Many men in my life totally wanted to fight and constantly instigated including physically. Again good points made here overall.

[@FrankGoodwin-j9d]

Sounds like you don’t want to be a wife

[@phil16woman64]

Sometimes, most times, the closing song is as much a sermon. This one would have been. Please let them play. People can quit the recording whenever they want.

[@turtlegrams6582]

Please on youtube Have you not read the 7777th verse And why it really matters via Truth Is Christ

[@SD-zk2te]

What version of the Bible is he reading from?

[@jts3505]

Listeners, please go listen to bare marriage podcast, by Sheila Wray Gregoire. The book Love and Respect is HARMFUL.

[@SD-zk2te]

How is that book harmful?

[@WildlyRadiantSkin]

And way too often church women don’t leave their husbands who are abusive. More people need to surround them and lift them up. Because abuse is not one time. This woman spoke out , it was worse than she described because she probably tried to protect him

[@fruitypebblez4309]

I think all girls and women should do 3 things to stay alive and that includes sda. 1. Strengthen relationship with God. Make sure you know Him and His voice and he knows yours. 2. Get educated so you can financially make it on your own. 3. Self defense So you can kick a$$ if your husband is beating you up. I am speaking from the perspective of being abused in childhood and adulthood. That abuse also included from men and women in the sda church.

[@mastiffpeople4868]

❤❤❤

[@phil16woman64]

A great sermon that needs repeating yearly. Another thing: Sometimes, most times, the closing song is as much a sermon. This one would have been. Please let them play. People can quit the recording whenever they want.

[@jts3505]

You may not understand "reactive abuse." This happens because a victim is experiencing "death by a thousand papercuts," and being driven to insanity. Respect is a BIG DEAL TO WOMEN, TOO.

[@traviswizz]

I believe pastor Kelly was trying so hard not to offended women that he didn't realize that men and women are not 99.9999999% the same so the decision making line will not be such either. Also, there are many many other Ellen white quotes that wound render the topic quite differently .

[@tiger7777]

Femininity, you say it right but you spelled it wrong🤔

[@funhistory]

Maybe someone on the media team is experiencing male amnesia & forgot how to spell it. 😂

[@melissaoretade]

@funhistory hahahahahaha

[@reidunhenriksenwergeland7791]

Amen pastor Ron , thank you 🙏 for this great sermon ❤

[@FrankGoodwin-j9d]

You are very delusional on this subject . You have no understanding of what really is going I’ll be praying for you .please do more research on this you will really be surprised

[@gretacooper6080]

Very respectfully I have to agree

[@FrankGoodwin-j9d]

@amyzegorl if you can’t see it then you are a feminist just keep watching the video then read read all scripture pertaining to this subject and God will reveal the truth to you
