When Men Lead
Okay, I've got a confession to make - I danced (sorry about that Mom - she's reading this!). I didn't just dance, I loved to dance. Marylin loves to dance too (sorry Marylin's dad - he's reading this too!). The thing about dancing is this: Somebody has to lead. So it is in the dance of life as well. Somebody has to lead and if both try to lead, you won't have a dance but a tug-of-war.
Why for men only? Because when it comes to the family, the failure predominantly comes when men fail to lead and women fail to follow in the spiritual growth process of the home. Men, God gave us the charge to lead and lead well. We are to love our wives and encourage them and help them as we care for our children, grandchildren, and the home.
The failure of Christian homes at such an alarming rate has come largely, not as a result of women who failed to follow but of men who failed to lead. I know, I know, nothing is 100%; there are exceptions to every rule. But by-and-large the problem is we as men have dropped the ball when it comes to displaying the head (leading) and the heart (sacrificing) of Christ in our God established roles. So what's the answer? Simple:
Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need. Matthew 6:33 (NLT)
Easier said than done? We'll talk more on this in FP 32!
Until Tomorrow,
Pastor Steve
