In our previous studies we discovered that both Adam (ISH) and Eve (ISHA) were created in the image of God, and both were given dominion over all creation. Though both were equally given this dominion, God designed ISH to be the head of the family, and the ultimate Federal Head of creation. This was shown through numerous Scriptures, as well as the "order of Creation". Man was first created, then Eve to be his assistant. Other signs in Genesis point to the truth that ISH was designed to be the head of the family unit.

Genesis 3:6-7 "And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons."

     When ISHA took and ate the forbidden fruit, neither she nor man fell into sin. However "immediately" after ISH ate of the fruit the Scripture says "And the eyes of them both were opened". Though the Father gave the command not to eat of this fruit to both man and woman, man was ultimately responsible for keeping this covenant as God regarded him to be the federal head of creation. Paul referred to this later in the New Testament epistles when he stated:

1 Corinthians 15:21-22 "For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive."

     The fall did "not" come by ISHA, but by Adam's transgression (in Adam all die). Since the transgression came by Adam, salvation from sin would also have to come from "the Man Jesus Christ". The federal head of creation, Adam, caused the mess, and an "exact substitute" for the start of this whole mess would have to atone for it (in Christ shall all be made alive). As we mentioned in the last study, God could have incarnated Christ as a woman, but it would have been ineffectual. Woman could not pay the price for the fall, for woman did "not cause" the fall. She was not federal head, and was not responsible; Adam was.

1 Timothy 2:12-14 "But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. For Adam was first formed, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression."

     The woman was deceived by Satan, tricked into partaking of the fruit. But Adam was "not deceived", and knew full well the consequences of his actions. He knew that his action "alone" would cause the fall of mankind yet pursued the action anyway, whereas the woman though her action would only be an isolated act of disobedience. Paul ties the fall of Adam and mankind to his admonition of "I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man". This seems to be quite a doctrinal stretch until you analyze what happened during the fall of man. Look at our Genesis passage again:

Genesis 3:6-7 "... when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat..."

     Adam did not just walk up on ISHA and Satan while they were having their discussion on partaking of the fruit. Adam "was with ISHA" all the time, watching the exchange as it progressed. Rather than fulfill the role that God designed him for, the role of leadership, Adam "stood and watched" and then followed the lead of the woman in disobedience. Eve stepped outside of her Divine design and partook of the fruit and, acting as the leader, gave that fruit to man. Adam stepped outside of his Divine design and, rather than reject the fruit, became a follower and accepted the tainted gift. "It was at this moment that creation fell to sin."

     It was for this reason Paul aptly ties the admonition to forbid a woman to usurp authority in the Body of Christ to the fall of man. Whenever we depart from the Divine design in our lives we invite disaster. When Adam and Eve departed from the Divine design mankind fell to sin. When the Church ignores Divine design to accommodate society, to maintain a "politically correct" status quo, it invites disaster. For this reason women are commanded to serve God within their own designed roles, and men are commanded to serve within their designs.

     "I say this now to the shame of Christian men everywhere:" Too often in our Churches today women have been "forced" into positions of leadership, contrary to their Divine design, because men will "not serve as they are called".

     "Men have allowed society to emasculate them", and have bowed to the feminist demands to the detriment of both Church and family. Many Churches now have female Pastors, totally contrary to the clear teaching of Scripture, totally outside of their design. It seems harmless enough, certainly, but many of these denominations now tolerate homosexual liaisons as righteous in God's eyes. As our Lord Jesus Christ warned, "A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump". When we say, "God, I refuse to believe this part of your Word because it's just not fair", then where do we stop? When we ignore the numerous Scriptures that clearly teach the Divine design in the genders, how can we justify any part of the Scripture? When women are placed in leadership roles in the Body because we men are just too lazy to commit, we harm the woman, we harm ourselves, and endanger the well being of the Body.

     How should the Godly man behave himself? There are a number of self help books on the market today that all talk about raising the family, yet each gives information that conflicts with the other. Men have increasingly become targets in our world today, on television and in the movies, as buffoons that can barely tie their shoes without the competent leadership of a woman. In fact, society has made it almost criminal to be a man.

     In a recent Promise Keepers conference (and I am not a Promise Keeper, nor do I endorse the movement) there were repeated interviews on television emasculating the men present because women were not invited to the conference. It's odd that men are never invited to women's conferences (nor baby showers) and feel no threat from the liberal media, but if men have a men's conference without women "it's a conspiracy".

     At a recent Southern Baptist Convention the attendees adopted a measure that recognized the Biblical roles of man and woman in the family and Church. Shortly afterward I had a United Methodist brother tell me this joke:

     "I asked a Southern Baptist man how his wife took the announcement that men are now supposed to be leaders in the family and at Church. He told me, 'She took it fine. After I told her, I didn't see her for a while. But after the third day the swelling in my eyes went down and now we're doing fine' "

     Not much of a joke, but it's what's going around Christian circles. In Christian newsletters and e-mail lists there are always jokes emasculating men. I recently wrote and asked the sender of one of these little funnies if she knew any good jokes about African Americans or women. Odd, I never got a reply.

     In the middle of all the idiocy that the world has injected into the Church, how is a Christian man to know how he should behave? The answer is simple: What saith the Scripture?

Proverbs 23:26 "My son, give me thine heart, and let thine eyes observe my ways."

Matthew 4:10 "Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve."

     Whether within his family, in the Church, or in his secular job, the man is to set an example of Godliness and adherence to God's Word. "If each Christian man made a commitment to serve God to his utmost capability, God would glorify him and bless these efforts."

     Christian men must be examples "to their families". If he sets a perverted example or refuses to lead within the family unit, this action, like a disease, spreads to all the family members. If you have bad habits, if you curse, if you are a slob, your family will follow that example of leadership whether you want them to or not. The children of alcoholics are often alcoholics themselves. The children of child abuse will usually abuse their own children. A foolish and unthinking commander often puts his troops in harm's way by poor action or pitiful inaction.

     As the leader of the family the father is best able to influence his children toward Godliness. If he sets and example of honesty and diligence the children will seek to emulate him. If he studies his Bible daily, the wife will surely follow.

1 Corinthians 7:2 "Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband."

     "The Christian man is to devote himself to his wife faithfully and fully." He must "never" forsake his wife in lieu of another woman, nor allow pornographic materials in his house. No, even the "Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition" is forbidden. It belittles your wife when she sees you looking at other women, fantasizing about other women. We have no excuse for actual or "mental" unfaithfulness, not if we plan to walk as Christian men.

1 Corinthians 7:3 "Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband."

     The husband is to treat his wife with the "utmost respect" in private and in public. I cannot count the number of times I have heard a Christian man belittle his wife in public, joke about her cooking, make snide remarks about how she tends her household. Careless remarks are barbs that stick in the wall of the marriage, that will one day come back to haunt you. The husband is to be better tempered than a child, careful to hold his tongue and think, never to fly off the handle at his wife. "If you haven't grown up, then don't take a wife! If you're married, grow up!"

1 Corinthians 7:4-5 "The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife. Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency."

     The Christian man will love his wife both emotionally and "physically". Your wife needs your touch, your love. Sex should never be used as a hammer or a weapon in the marriage. I have heard of women "withholding" themselves from their husbands as a punishment, or men doing the same to their wives "This is not in God's will", nor is it righteous. Sexual activity in the marriage is God's Gift to the marriage:

Hebrews 13:4 "Marriage is honorable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge."

     Sexual activity between a husband and wife is "absolutely not" a weapon to be used for reward or punishment. This holds true of "all things" in the marriage. Men allow their marriages to dissolve into a battle of wits with their wives out of pride, out of a desire to win the argument at all costs. The Bible commands us:

Colossians 3:19 "Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them."

     The Christian man is to have a strict control over his temper, particularly as it relates to the wife. If he is wronged by the wife then "explain the wrong" to her. Perhaps her action was a lapse in judgment with no harm intended. But if the wife errs (and we all make mistakes) and you chew her out, she "will respond" by attacking back. This will turn into a cycle of accusations and railing flying back in forth, an argument that will cause scarring in the marriage. Such altercations are avoidable if the Christian man will hold his temper "and think". We should also "limit the duration" of our anger if we do fall into anger. The Bible offers a simple solution:

Ephesians 4:26-27 "Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath: Neither give place to the devil. "

     In the Jewish custom the setting sun signaled the "start of a new day". If you, either man or woman, must get angry at your spouse, "grow up and get over it" before you go to bed that night. In looking back over the past years of my marriage there are a few times I've been angered by my dear wife. In all instances the anger could be worked out, and compromise reached within an hour or so. Highly immature people allow their anger to control them to drag them along like an undertow. The mature person "controls" his anger, "directs" the emotion to achieve a Godly result rather than destroy the relationship.

     Let me put it another way: When you are angered, and allow that anger to remain into the next day, you do two things. First you cause scarring in the marital relationship. Second, you are engaging in "active sin". "Yes, sin!" Remember this - You do not have to win the argument, but you, as the husband, "do have to initiate" the reconciliation. Vengeance in totally in the providence of God. If the wife is in open rebellion and will not repent, the Father will discipline. If the man makes no move toward reconciliation the Father will discipline. Be very careful how you use your anger, lest you fall into the chastening of God!

Colossians 3:21 "Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged."

     When children disobey the parents are well within their calling by God to discipline them. If a father loves his children he can do no less than to punish disobedience. Yet punishment must be exercised with the goal of bettering the child, not just to gain the satisfaction of vengeance. Punishment must "never" be excessively cruel. If the father chastens his children within the boundaries of Godliness and love the children will see it and in turn love him for his care. These same children will grow up to emulate their own fathers, and become a legacy of good discipline throughout the generations. But if a father "abuses" his children, beating them unmercifully for real or imagined acts of disobedience, the child will carry this same behavior to his or her future families. You are the example: discipline wisely and carefully, for what you do today will effect your grandchildren tomorrow.

1 Timothy 5:7-8 "And these things give in charge, that they may be blameless. But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel."

     As women have been given greater and greater freedom in our society (and this is good), more and more have moved into the workplace. Again, this is not a bad thing, especially in our society. Even so, do not lose sight of the fact that the "man is responsible" for providing for the needs of his family, "not the woman". This is an injunction from God that has been in place since the Adamic curse:

Genesis 3:16-19 "Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee. And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life; Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field; In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return."

     When ISH and ISHA caused the fall, God gave both a unique punishment. To woman He caused sorrow in childbearing ("I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children"). Women, from the time of Adam and through today, "suffer when giving birth". To all those who think the curse of God was removed after the Cross let me ask you, who do you know that has had a happy, comfortable delivery? Every woman I know has suffered in the delivery room, even with the advances of medical science. This is a constant, and this curse will stay in effect until we are united with Jesus in Heaven.

     Men, on the other hand, were given the curse of toil ("cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life; Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field; In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread").

     As a woman must labor to give birth, the man must labor to provide for his family. This is our part in the curse. Granted there are a few who, because of the toil of their parents, are rich and without need of toil. This is artificial, and such people are "labor free" because others before them sacrificed so much. But for the majority of us, toil is our curse.

     Whether the wife works or not, according to Paul "the man is responsible" for providing for his wife and children or he "is worse than an infidel". I have heard stories of ministers who have put their wives to work so they could go to Seminary and train for the ministry. How can you reconcile such an action to Godly behaviour? It is "your responsibility" to provide for your family, not your wife's, just as it is her responsibility to suffer the pains of childbearing. When the minister provides such a poor example to his flock he perpetuates a world view rather than God's view to his assembly. "These things must not be!"

Romans 13:1-5 "Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same: For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil. Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake."

     The man must be an example in following the laws of his government. The 1998-1999 Clinton presidential scandal is a good example of poor male behavior and it's effect on others. William Jefferson Clinton, President of the United States, engaged in immoral and illegal sexual activities with a White House intern. Once these activities were discovered Clinton, rather than repent, made a conscious decision to "lie under oath" while being interviewed by a Federal Grand Jury. When the lie was discovered Clinton "continued to lie", refusing to repent in order to hold on to the Presidency. After the House of Representatives voted to impeach the President the Senate, contrary to all good sense, voted to acquit the President on all charges. What effect did Clinton bring on the nation?

     First, the American people with an overwhelming majority acknowledged that the President lied, but the same majority decided to "overlook the matter". The Senate also understood that the President lied, but decided to "overlook the matter". One man's action caused a snowball effect in our country, coarsened it's moral fabric, and left a legacy of evil that we will one day look back on in shame.

     The man "sets the standard" for all things in the family, whether it be the immediate family unit or the American family. Without proper government we would cease from living in an orderly society. A land without government is an anarchy where only the strongest survive. A land without government has no laws to "suppress the sin nature" of man, no laws to maintain orderly human behavior.

     When the man avoids paying his lawful taxes he in effect steals from God, for God is the source of all governments in power. When you become a Christian you are not released from governmental law; on the contrary, you are expected to be "more subject" to the law than your godless counterparts. Our government gives us the freedom to worship the Lord as we please. We should cherish our government, love it for it's freedoms, and protect it from all those who would see it destroyed. Shame on Clinton, and on every man who selfishly jeopardizes his government for his own selfish gain!

Matthew 22:36-39 "Master, which is the great commandment in the law? Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself."

     As Christian men our first and greatest commandment is to Love our God, to serve Him, to follow His commandments. The second commandment we must follow is to love our neighbors, love those in our periphery. "What is love?"

     In our society we often confuse God's ideal of love with lust, or emotional excess. This is not AGAPE, God's ideal of love. AGAPE is based on "doing the highest good toward the object of our love". If you have AGAPE for someone who is homeless you will not only feed them, but you will try to help them better themselves by leading them to a job or a shelter.

     The husband and father must always show AGAPE toward his wife and children. Reward and praise them for following righteousness, gently correct when they move outside of the boundaries of Godliness. Because AGAPE is not based on emotion, but on doing the "highest good", it is a particularly hard love to commit to. It is not easy to punish your child when he or she falls into disobedience, nor is it easy to correct the love of your life. Yet we are commanded by God to exercise AGAPE toward our family, our friends, and the people we meet, always following the direction of the written Word of God.

Proverbs 4:1 "Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know understanding."

     The Christian man must instruct his children in the ways of the Lord. He must teach his children without partiality, knowing that the seed he plants will flower in the life of the child as he grows. Teach only the truths of the Scripture; It is easier to plant the seed of truth now than to weed out false doctrine later. Be careful how you teach your children, for the things you show them will stay with them all their lives.

Proverbs 4:3-4, 10-13 "For I was my father's son, tender and only beloved in the sight of my mother. He taught me also, and said unto me, Let thine heart retain my words: keep my commandments, and live. ...  Hear, O my son, and receive my sayings; and the years of thy life shall be many. I have taught thee in the way of wisdom; I have led thee in right paths. When thou goest, thy steps shall not be straitened; and when thou runnest, thou shalt not stumble. Take fast hold of instruction; let her not go: keep her; for she is thy life."

     The Scripture emphasizes, over and over again, the importance of the father teaching his children. In many instances and to our shame, the education of the children is often left to the mother and the schools. To all those who rely on the schools to do their job let me warn you: When I was young the schools taught me how to read, write, and gave me mathematic skills. These same schools taught me how to shoplift, how to drink, how to have promiscuous relationships, how to drug my body. If the father neglects the training of his children they may receive an education far from God's standard. If the father gives the children a poor role model, these same children will perpetuate this poor behavior on their own children. Break the cycle of immorality and godlessness. Get involved with your children!

     The Church, in God's economy, is not run as a democracy nor as an anarchy. The New Testament Church was designed to be managed by earthly God called leaders, "all men", holding the office of Bishop or Elder.

Acts 20:16-17 "For Paul had determined to sail by Ephesus, because he would not spend the time in Asia: for he hasted, if it were possible for him, to be at Jerusalem the day of Pentecost. And from Miletus he sent to Ephesus, and called the elders of the church."

Acts 20:28 "Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood."

Philippians 1:1 "Paul and Timotheus, the servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus which are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons"

James 5:14 "Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord"

     The three titles for leadership in the Church, "Elder, Overseer and Bishop", are used interchangeably in the Scripture. When the term "Elder" is used it emphasizes the dignity of the office of the servant leader. You can only be called to the position of leader when you have matured to a certain point in Christ, hence "Elder". The title "Bishop" is used when the function of leadership is being emphasized. The title "Overseer" is used when the servant leader's loving concern for the whole flock is being emphasized.

     As the Church of Christ has both a spiritual as well as a physical presence, it must have a physical as well as a spiritual leader. "Our spiritual leader is, of course, Jesus Christ." The Bishop acts as the physical leader of the local Church on earth. The Bishop holds general charge over the local Church in all matters. In our Churches today we appoint committees, task forces, and other "teams" who make recommendations to the Bishop and the local Church. It must be kept in mind, though, that the "Bishop Pastor has final control over the action that the Church will take", as he exists to watch over our souls.

Hebrews 13:17 "Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you."

     We are commanded to "obey them that have the rule over you, and submit" ourselves. I heard a Christian man once say, "Ain't nobody gonna tell me what to do but Jesus". This is a false and sinful attitude to have. God assigned your Pastor to your local Church. While he is fulfilling this assignment you are commanded to obey him, for he must give an account of his actions to God. If you cannot obey the Pastor, move to another local Church. Too many Churches have had severe divisions in them because disobedient believers, usually men, became thorns in the Pastor's side. You do not have the right, under God's theocracy, to sow the seeds of discontent in your Church.

1 Timothy 3: 1-7 "This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work. A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach; Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous; One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity; (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?) Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil. Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil."

     The Bishop of the local Church is a man ("the husband of one wife"), "not a woman". We have already had this discussion in full detail in study twelve, so this statement should not surprise you. God called men, from the Garden and through today, to fulfill the leadership positions in home, society, and Church. Women were not designed for this role, and stand in opposition to God's calling if they attempt to do so.

     The other qualifications of the Bishop are fully explained in our verses above. He should be a level headed, mature Christian man (Not a novice) who has shown, in his life, the calling to leadership ("One that ruleth well his own house"). He should have a good reputation of honesty and integrity ("he must have a good report of them which are without") in all his business dealings. He should be a good example to his flock, not a hindrance to their growth.

1 Timothy 3:10-13 "And let these also first be proved; then let them use the office of a deacon, being found blameless. Even so must their wives be grave, not slanderers, sober, faithful in all things. Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well. For they that have used the office of a deacon well purchase to themselves a good degree, and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus."

     The Greek for "Deacon" is DIAKONOS, which literally means "servant, attendant, helper". The Deacons are a group of men ("the husbands of one wife") in the local Church that are ordained to help the Bishop fulfill his duties to the flock. Deacons are "not co-rulers" with the Pastor, but are his right hand men. Too many Churches have had divisions started because the Deacons sought to over rule the direction of the Bishop. Just as with the Bishop, Deacons should have shown a clear outward sign of their calling to leadership ("ruling their children and their own houses well"). They should have good moral reputations, and be known as honest business men. They should be examples to the Church, not anchors around the Pastor's neck.

     The offices of the Bishop and Deacon work hand in hand in the local Church to help the Body of Christ grow. The Deacons do not "demand" that the Pastor follow their advise; they merely advise, and trust that the Pastor will do God's best for the flock. Both offices are vitally necessary for the leadership of the Church, and neither should abandon or weigh down the other.

     Many of the woes that the family and the Church face today are a direct result of Christian men who refuse to behave as God has decreed. Men who have allowed pettiness and a desire for power to corrupt their actions, causing a negative impact on these God given institutions.

     It is time that we, "as Christian men", started to live the calling that God has given us. We can only do this when we begin to hold our Bibles in the same regard that we hold our fishing poles, our golf clubs, or our football games. Inactivity among the male population of the Church has sent the wrong signals to society and to our spouses. God give us the strength of will to turn this tide by repenting. It is significant that only once in Scripture a woman was ordained by God to rule men. This is found in the case of Deborah, a Judge of Israel. However she was ordained to be a "Judge" not a "Pastor". Just prior to her commission the Bible tells us:

Judges 4:1-4 "And the children of Israel again did evil in the sight of the LORD, when Ehud was dead. And the LORD sold them into the hand of Jabin king of Canaan, that reigned in Hazor; the captain of whose host was Sisera, which dwelt in Harosheth of the Gentiles. And the children of Israel cried unto the LORD: for he had nine hundred chariots of iron; and twenty years he mightily oppressed the children of Israel. And Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth, she judged Israel at that time."

     Your calling, Christian men, is to lead with all dignity and godliness as God has called you. You do not need an organization like the Promise Keepers to do this. You only need heed and apply the Word of God to your hearts.
