I often think and sometimes say something like, “families are dysfunctional.” In a recent episode of Relentless Truth, I discussed my dad’s passing and some of the dysfunction that our family has experienced.
God’s Design
Paul describes, in Colossians and elsewhere, the way families are to function. In this episode, I discuss the fact that God is “the head” of Christ, Christ is “the head” of man, and man is “the head” of the woman. While this doctrine is counter to our culture today, it is much needed for our families.
Equal Value, Different Function
The point Paul makes in these passages is that husbands and wives, while they are equally valuable before God, have functions that differ. The comparison to the way God and Christ function is a beautiful one that provides much needed clarity. Jesus Christ our Lord and God the Father are of the same essence, the same substance. They are equal in nature and essence, but they function differently.
My hope is that this episode will provide much needed clarity to an issue that the American Church seems to struggle with. Scripture speaks to this issue clearly and logically. The beauty of God’s design is apparent in the family and in the church.
