Men are to be the spiritual leaders in the household and the church. You cant wash the family with the word if you don’t know the word. For the sake of the gospel we must adapt to the local culture.
When sin came in it distorted the image of God. You are not a product of your circumstances or your neighborhood. Once your image is restored so is your dominion.
There are no large scales in heaven that compare your good to your bad. When sin is still apparent to you, you are in a good place. Good Himself made the first blood sacrifice. Without the shedding of blood there is no redemption from sin.
This instruction is transferred by family. Proverbs speak a lot about relationships and associations. Instill Godly wisdom & plant seeds from the time your children are in diapers.
There is a direct assault on manhood and fatherhood. Honoring our father should be our life’s practice. We are living in a day where we need our Godly men to stand up like never before.
