Equality Between Men and Women
“…submitting to one another in the fear of God.”
Ephesians 5:21

Ponder This
First Corinthians 11:3 says, “…the head of every man is Christ, the head of woman is man, and the head of Christ is God.” Sometimes we get confused about what it means to be the “head” of the family.
Anything with no head is dead and anything with two heads is abnormal. Just because the man is the head doesn’t mean that the wife is inferior. Both are equal before God. Both bear the image of God. Both are heirs of the grace of life.
But while male and female are equal, God has given them different roles. In the family, men have been given the role of leader.
Practice This
How would our world function if no one was in charge? How would your body function without your head? Pray for leaders, first in your home and church, then in your community, state, and nation.

Real Truth Never Changes
Real truth never changes, and the truth about government is that it is God who ordains it, leaders who are responsible for it, and citizens who are accountable to it. The privilege of being called Americans comes with significant responsibilities—to God, to each other, and to the world.
