The #1 problem in men is passivity. Ever since the beginning God has given man dominion over his wife and family. This does not mean to pound our chest and every time our wives tell us no establish your dominance. We can’t just grit our teeth and try harder to fix everything. True Godly dominion is to be the Jesus figure in your household. It means to serve and not to be served. In our household are we the example for our family? Does our family know that the common goal is to follow Jesus? When Satan tempts someone in your family do we take the lead and stomp on his head and lead our family to the way of life God has meant for us or do we stand idly by and join in? When Adam and Eve eat from the tree of good and evil, God goes to Adam because he gave him the responsibility of his wife. Everything that happens to our families is our responsibility. This is biblical. I want to challenge you today as fathers and husbands to not be the man that just sits idly by as this world throws temptations at our wife and kids. Be the man that takes the time to make sure your family is seeking God in every decision that you make individually or decisions that involve everyone in your family. Satan will use the smallest sin to plant a seed to tear your family apart. Be wise enough to stomp it out before it grows into something life changing or life altering. Don’t be like Adam. Don’t be scared to give Godly advice or to take action necessary to separate your family from a sin that could lead them down a path of destruction. Love y’all! Have a great day!
Genesis 3:6-13
Read scripture…
“The woman saw that the tree was good for food and delightful to look at, and that it was desirable for obtaining wisdom. So she took some of its fruit and ate it; she also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it. Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves. Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden at the time of the evening breeze, and they hid from the Lord God among the trees of the garden. So the Lord God called out to the man and said to him, “Where are you? ” And he said, “I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked, so I hid.” Then he asked, “Who told you that you were naked? Did you eat from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from? ” The man replied, “The woman you gave to be with me — she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate.” So the Lord God asked the woman, “What have you done? ” And the woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”
