Welcome to 2008!

We have exciting news about the Redeemer Men’s blog. Jay Adams has agreed to do the first several blogs for this new year! Dr. Adams will challenge us with our responsibility to be leaders in our homes and to take spiritual care for our wives. The format is a little different than last fall’s but it still provides a spiritual challenge.

Brothers, how do we care for our wives? Listen to this scriptural challenge.

This week’s Scripture portion is I Corinthians 14:34, “The women are to keep silent in the churches; for they are not permitted to speak, but are to subject themselves, just as the Law also says.” Women are not permitted to speak in worship services — either to teach (I Tim. 2) or to ask questions. To do so is “disorderly” in God’s sight (v. 33). So, how are they to get answers?

You — their husbands — are to be able and prepared to answers their questions!

1. Are you able to do so?

2. If not, what do you intend to do about it?

3. How (specifically) will you do this?

4. When will you begin?

Why not read the first seven verses of Proverbs to gain wisdom to help you get under way in thinking about meeting the obligation you have to spiritually care for your wives.
