Sovreignty of the Individual

I watched a DVD yesterday of a talk given by Phillip Jensen at the Equip Ministry Wives conference earlier this year. The talk was on what the bible says about being a wife.

It was very interesting, and there were a few ideas I found particularly striking. One of them was that our culture practices the sovreignty of the individual, which by its very nature is diametrically opposed to marriage and families. For families to be healthy, individuals need to submit to and serve one another, and in a culture where individual is king, this poses some challenges!
