Great post. The mere concept of submission to authority is avoided by many and shunned by most.

Jesus said, "Whoever has my commands and obeys them, he is the one who loves me. He who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love him and show myself to him.”

Beauty can be deceptive, even in wonderful church services. The New Testament commands are what matter (as opposed to OT law.) When it comes to salvation, we find the command in 1 John 3:23. When it comes to morality, we find the command in 1 Thess 4:1-8. When it comes to the church service, we find a command in 1 Cor 14:26-37.

I also ended up at a Presbyterian PCA church. It's one of the few churches where the pastor teaches, liberal dogma isn't spread, the music isn't blasting and the service focuses on Christ. Blessings.
