Men are naturally stronger than women; just as boys excel in physical strength than girls. But physical strength do not always translate into strength of character and good will in many men. The glory of young men is their strength: and the beauty of old men is the grey head (Proverbs 20:29). Grey heads speak of wisdom, wisdom of character […]
The husband is the pillar of his house, from him come the roots that hold to the Foundation upon whom his house is built. The deeper he goes into Christ the better the chance and the possibility of his house standing in the face of external or spiritual aggressions which wages war against families. The man give his house its […]
The Man and His Wife (Part 8) Aquila and Priscilla were about the closest couple in all of Scripture. They were so knitted together that each of them was rarely mentioned without the other. They were a biblical example of friendship in marriage. Much was not said about their children, but we can imagine that they must have been happy. […]
The Man and His Wife (Part 7) SPIRITUALITY IN HOME LEADERSHIP Men are supposed to be the spiritual head of the family. It takes a physically mature man to provide physical, fatherly leadership at home – babies can’t raise or lead babies.

The Man and His Wife (Part 5) If given the choice, most of us will prefer our mother to our father; because she was more affectionate, more loving and more available than our father was in our growing years.

The Man and His Wife (Part 3) When a family fails, the husband an children are the ultimate losers. How far is this true? When a family structure collapses; the man (as the head) has failed in His headship, at the very least. When a ship goes down, the captain takes the blame/responsibility not the crew. The wife and children […]
The Man and His Helpmeet (Part 1) Genesis 2:23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.
