"Man Up"

Above everything else heard today, those words resonated with me the most. I love my wife very much, i treasure her, she is beautiful and caring and patient and loves me much more than i deserve. Men can be pretty sorry in today's society. We are lazy, prideful and don't want to accept responsibility for our actions so our women end up doing our jobs for us. Why should they take the burden of our jobs on top of the jobs they already have? It's not fair to put that off on them.

So all that to say that our message today was on NCCd's stand on women's role in the church and from that i was convicted to be a better husband to my wife.

We (men) are the ones responsible for leading our families and churches. We are the ones who should stand up and take the responsibilities God gave us. We should "man up."

So many people misquote Paul in saying that wives should submit to their husbands and never look at the next line that says husbands love your wives as christ loved the church.


Not that i think that i am a bad husband but i know that i can do better. i can love my wife as christ loves the church...a sacrifical love where her wants and needs are always put before mine.


I pray that god would help and guide me to be the man of my family and the man in the church that he has called me to be. that he would teach us as well as our wives to glorify him by being obedient to the roles that he has set for us.
