Feeling Rebellion
And Samuel said, Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams.
For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from being king.

Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;

And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
