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.
FOR YOUR GIFT TO THE MINISTRY
Front Porch Moments by Gayle Foster
WITH KEY INSIGHTS FROM HER FATHER, ADRIAN ROGERS
I try to unplug each morning with Jesus with just my rocking chair, my Bible, and a pen.
Having a secret place is very important because I know that Jesus is always there waiting for me. I know where I can find Him! His presence is everywhere, but there are places where it is so thick you can cut it with a knife. You may not even have a front porch, but there is a secret place for you as well. God’s invitations are for anyone who will respond. There is no more important request than the one found in Psalm 27:8: “My heart has heard You say, ‘Come and talk with Me.’ And my heart responds, ‘Lord, I am coming.’”
