The Joyful Patriarchy Wife

Evangelical Servant -Leadership is Contrary to Biblical Male Headship

It has been about 3 or 4 years now that I was exposed to the term  “servant-leadership,” It was put in the context that men are to be like  Christ in laying down His life for the Church. That man would need to  “lay down their life for their wives .”And while I agree that if an  intruder was entering my house to cause harm, my husband would indeed  lay down his life for me, I know this. And I am sure most wives would be  sure of the same. (except maybe for John Piper. Another blog post for  that one) But that is not the context that these women were using. “Lay down  their lives for their wives .”They were using it in the context that a  husband should do whatever his wife needs to be happy. He is supposed to  sacrifice “everything” for his wife, even his leadership. That male  headship was archaic and needed to be smashed, “the patriarchy .”That a  real man empathized with his wife, sacrificed his health, wealth, and  manhood to accommodate his wife. What if that wife was not happy or  lacking? That was the failure of her “servant-leader.”

Fret Not Because of Evil Men

More often than not our enemies today are the same as the enemies that crucified our Lord. Jesus did them no harm, yet they murdered Him. They slew the Christ because they hated God. Satan worked through them, and though it seemed that the devil may have prevailed by accomplishing his evil deeds, it was in fact a snare that he set capturing only himself. And though his wickedness was carried out he was only accomplishing salvation for the world. That Christ was lifted up on the cross only succeeded according to the plan of God to draw all men to Himself, and to utterly destroy the works of the devil.

For the Love of God, Husbands and Children

Your children want you, mamas. They don't need "stuff." They need their mama. The security, love, and nurturing that only a mama can give, is needed and commanded by scripture. Your bodily presence is what God has intended. God intended for mamas to nurse their babies, to be the provider of their babies. To thrive, they need you. You are your child’s actual lifeline
