A Dance, Not a Fistfight

There is an order of things to this world and that comes from God: A Dance, Not a Fistfight | Chrestomathy:

"We have to keep reminding ourselves lest we slip back into understanding submission as an attempt to cope with raw power. That is not it at all. Authority and submission together are a dance, not a fistfight. Moreover, it is a dance grounded in the way things ultimately are, because this is the way our triune God ultimately is" (For a Glory and a Covering, p. 66).
