The male mind is an odd thing.

As a pastor, I would testify that I saw, “if the women will do it, then I don’t need to.”

That’s not a biblical argument against female ordination as elders. Those are already known.

There’s some old church research that says that if mothers attend church, 25% of children will continue to attend church later in life. But if both father and mother attend, it is something in the neighborhood of 75% who will attend. I’ve always been fascinated by those numbers.

Yes, I believe God wants fathers to be the spiritual head of the household and set the example. A person with a good father is an increasing rarity these days. It's becoming a luxury.
