We're all bruised, broken, damaged: Some a little, some a lot. Some by others, some by our own actions. Fortunately our God meets us where we are, and works with us regardless of our perceived shortcomings or brokenness. This blog is less about that, though, and more about interesting facts, data, comments, tricks and tips I collect from all over the web. Hope you find something useful here too :) Go to www.thepaulnetwork.com to check out my Men's Ministry :)

CBMW � The Husband as Prophet, Priest, and King
CBMW � The Husband as Prophet, Priest, and King
Just what does the Bible mean when it teaches in 1 Corinthians 11
that the man is the head of the woman? Sadly, throughout the history
of the church, the concept of a man as head of his wife has been misunderstood,
misinterpreted, and misapplied by pastors and Bible
teachers. As a consequence, many husbands have used this biblical
idea as license for harsh treatment, a lack of love and compassion, and
even abuse of their wives. They seem to have learned more about
headship from the Pharaohs of Egypt than from the Lamb of God.
Women have rightly rebelled against dictatorship in marriage. It
is clear to them that whatever headship means, it doesn’t mean a harsh
or unloving attitude but a spirit of kindness and compassion. It doesn’t
mean selfishness, but self-sacrifice. It doesn’t mean control, but a willingness
to assume responsibility.

But the Woman being deceived, was in the Transgression
But the Woman being deceived, was in the Transgression: The most famous case of superfetation in humans is found in the Bible account of the conception and birth of Cain and Abel. Whoever reads Genesis carefully, will see it speaks of the two seeds, or offspring, right after the fall. So from the very beginning, there were two lineages: the ungodly line of Cain and the godly line found in Seth. Not one time is Adam called the father of Cain, who is not once mentioned in the genealogies of Adam. This is why Adam pronounced his wife "the mother of all living". Never is it suggested that Adam is the father of all living. If Cain actually would have been the first-born son of Adam, he would have had the nature of Adam who was the son of God, and a special place in God's record.
