It would be foolish of me to think I can express biblically to men how you are to carry out your responsibility of headship in your home better than Pastor John Piper. This past Sunday he preached "Lionhearted and Lamblike: The Christian Husband as Head." As he can masterfully do, Piper first gives the doctrinal argument so our thinking will be biblically correct. He then gives an outstanding practical section as a means to live in this doctrine. He closes his sermon with this statement, "When a man joyfully bears the primary God-given responsibility for Christ-like, servant leadership and provision and protection in the home - for the spiritual well-being of the family, for the discipline and education of the children, for the stewardship of money, for the holding of a steady job, for the healing of discord - I have never met a wife who is sorry she married such a man."
