“We have seen that the distinction between men and women was created by God as very good and that the roles within marriage come from the mission that God has called each person to fulfill in advancing the Cultural Mandate and Great Commission. We then looked at the husband’s duty to shepherd his family as…”

“God created mankind as distinctively male and female, so those distinctions are very good. He created men and women to fulfill different yet complementary roles so that together they could advance the Cultural Mandate and Great Commission. Within that context, this post looks at the roles of the husband as clearly revealed in Scripture.”

“The equal value yet distinct roles of male and female were created by God in the beginning as very good. When couples fulfill these roles well, they display to the world the beauty of marriage as it was meant to be. Before we look at specific roles, we need understand their greater purpose. This post…”

“while the world around us would seek to whittle womanhood down from a mighty redwood to a flimsy toothpick by clinging to the Lord's Word in Scripture, I believe we can have a revival of femininity and a resurgence of Christian women.“

“What does the Bible communicate about womanhood? How will that impact her in marriage? And, how passionate is God about these things? Would He even call it “blasphemy” when Biblical womanhood is ignored or spurned? Join us as we explore this concept in Titus 2:3-5.”

“if you want a Christian culture, forget American politics. That is as fruitful as drowning yourself under a waterfall. Instead, if you wish for Massachusetts, California, Washington, Nevada, Montana, and all the rest of these fifty states, to bow the knee to the Lord Jesus Christ, then put down your politics, lay down your mail-in ballots, and grab a shovel. We have work to do!”

“Perhaps if we would preach like Jonah, weep like Jeremiah, if we would repent like Nebuchadnezzar, or stand firm against God's enemies like Samson; If we would worship as ardently as David, or employ wisdom like his son Solomon; If we would be as industrious in our society as Daniel and Joseph; if we would chase after the whoring gentiles like Hosea; and if we, who are filled with the same Spirit that raised Christ Jesus from the dead, would live like the apostles - going from town to town declaring freedom in the risen Christ - then I believe we will see this nation turning back to God. “

“Dear sisters, daughters, mothers, and wives, embrace the beautiful, glorious, and domestic calling God has given you. Rejoice amid the mess and the stress of a burgeoning home. Find joy and laughter when the markers decorate your walls, the spaghetti gets flung on your ceiling, or when the task of doing it all seems too big for you. It is too big for you, in your own strength. That much is true. But let that truth remind you of a better truth. You are needy in your role because the Lord designed you to ever be in need of Him!”

“When a nation plants its flag firmly into the ground, it openly and audaciously proclaims its dominion over that soil. It screams, "We are the ones in charge!" It heralds that our power and our might reign supreme on this soil. And if you do not like that, grab your guns and try to take our flag away from us if you can.

This is precisely why the rainbow-colored flag of deviance and pride must come (and in Christ will come) to a bitter end.”

“Men, do not accept a perverted vision of masculinity that a godless world has painted for you. Also, do not accept the effeminate and neutered manhood that some wimpy sects of Christianity are peddling to you. Instead, stand up tall and be a man. Take responsibility for yourself and your people. Love your wife like Christ loves His Church, stand for truth, be brave, rule well in your home and in your town, and bring the fear of God into every sector that you preside over. And above all else, do everything you can, with all the strength and vigor you can muster, to the glory of your God and the advancement of His Kingdom. That is a vision worth celebrating and imitating. And that is the kind of men our nation, churches, and families desperately need.”

“if the enemy hates God, and everything that reminds Him of God, then is it any wonder that he so despicably detests marriage, since it is dripping with the divine? Marriage was not patterned off our opinions, and it does not exist to advance our preferences. Instead, God made marriage to reflect His holy, loving, intimate, joyful, and sacrificial love that He has eternally cherished among the members of the Godhead.”

“Manhood and womanhood are under attack. Marriage and sexuality are under attack. And every institution, from Hollywood to the District of Columbia, is aimed at perverting our children. It is high time that the church says, enough! And it is high time we begin fighting for the only institution God called “Very good.”
