 In this post I continue to focus on Nancy Leigh DeMoss Wolgemuth. She is a member of the Board of Reference of the Council on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood.

She has written a True Woman Manifesto. One of the statements of that Manifesto is as follows:

 Nancy Leigh DeMoss Wolgemuth: "When we (women) respond humbly and appropriately to male leadership in our homes and churches, we demonstrate a noble submission that honours God's Word and reflects Christ's obedience to the will of His Father."

My Comment

Nancy Leigh DeMoss Wolgemuth very likely refers to the unbiblical teaching of the Eternal Submission of God the Son to God the Father (ESS) connecting that to further unbiblical teaching of submission (obedience) of a wife/a woman to her husband/a man, when she writes "....We demonstrate a noble submission that honours God's Word and reflects Christ's obedience to the will of His Father."  God calls both men and women to submit to one another in homes and churches (Ephesians 5:21-22). Jesus demonstrated what leadership in the church and at home would look like at the time of the Last Supper when He washed the feet of His disciples. After He had done this, He said in John 13:12-17

When He had finished washing their feet, He put on His clothes and returned to His place."Do you understand what I have done for you?" He asked them. "You call me Teacher and Lord and rightly so for that is what I am. Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you should also wash one anothers' feet. I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you. I tell you the truth, no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger, greater than the one who sent him. Now that you know these things, you will be blessed, if you do them."

As male and female believers "wash each others' feet", they serve each other, care for each other, love each other both in their homes and in their churches, thereby honouring the Lord who served them by dying for them on the Cross.
