Man as the Head of His Household - YouTube

Notice the trickle down here

What God has done here, what would what what God has laid out here

Highlights

The relational reality that God viewed and views the male as the head and the primary

source of

responsibility within the marriage relationship a

Marriage relationship in

Which the male?

abdicates his

Responsibility to lead will be a marriage relationship that crumbles under the weight of his incompetence

But it is not just leadership in general which God is concerned in this preamble

It is the leadership that accomplishes the spiritual end of compliance to the Word of God

when a Christian woman

resists the spiritual leadership of her husband or a Christian husband

abandons his

Responsibility to lead the merits in the compliance to the will of God it is the family that is damaged

Where are the men who are willing to lead their families to church

To lead their families and understand the Word of God

To lead their families into spiritual maturity

We have raised a generation of

Spiritual powderpuff men who either can't or won't take the spiritual reins of their household shame on them

We need men who are real men who not only wear pants, but ought to wear pants

From God's vantage point there there was no acceptable excuses for Adam's

behavior to pass over God's directives for his wife's a

Biblical man stands for God even if the nearest and dearest to him do not

Even if he is between a rock and a hard place

Man

There may come a time in a relationship

When you must stand alone?

solely upon your trust in God

This is graphically Illustrated for us in the life of job when job was at his lowest point

Shall we and indeed accept good from God and not accept adversity in all this job did not

sin with his lips

Hopefully the time will be rare

But so committed

Is the man?

Supposed to be to God's will that he's willing to do it even if he has to stand alone to do it

I've heard men give me the excuse

Well my wife won't let me bring him to church

How is he controlling your house, buddy

Those are your kids

You're gonna sit around and obey your wife against God have you lost your mind when you have to face God

God doesn't want to hear. Oh well my wife made me do it

No no no buddy you're toast

But you know what

It does not take much for men to be sidetracked spiritually nowadays

All many men need is just a nudge just a nudge and missing church becomes easy

All they need is a little impetus in and coming late to the house of God becomes the norm

all they need is just an insignificant cause and all their promises of

Taking the spiritual education of the children in the home

Seriously, at last are cast out the window

Or it doesn't take much just a good movie or football game

Just a little difficulty or a trial at home or at work just a little resistance and many men will

Abandon the Lord and the things of the Lord or move them way down the priority list

That's not a man, I don't know what that is, but it sure enough not a man

God's preamble lets us know what God's expectations are for that relationship
