From the ‘sidelines’ I think what’s missing from this discussions his role as the family patriarch. As you know he ‘offended’ gays and-can’t remember who else. He needs to expand his expertise to the role of women in the family. As I see it the feminists out here have a big problem with ANYONE being a patriarch. Whatever he would say is going to offend. I say bring it on.
Agree - I'm fortunate to have a wife who ministered to me until I was saved (about 10 years ago) and believes the Biblical concept of the man having responsibility to be the spiritual leader. She insists that I assume/maintain that role and comport myself accordingly. Many believe that a wife's submission equates to slavery instead of the true team of husband/wife that God intended - we both have our roles and as long as I remain grounded, she willingly submits to my guidance. If I stray, she rightfully lets me know. They miss out on a lot.
