Pure gold here. A complementarian perspective drawn from sound exegetical observations, with powerful applications for every man who desires to fulfill God's calling to lead his household in Christ-like headship. A challenging and focused Biblical exhortation.
And he beats the stuffing out of so-called "Evangelical Feminism."

The Husband's Role in Marriage
Here's why I thank God for friends like Chris DeVidal: I routinely receive Biblical exhortations and encouragements like this one . . .
Derek,
Check out this link
Ephesians 5:25-26
Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church
and gave Himself up for her, so that He might sanctify her
having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word . . .
Think deeply and at great length about these verses. I encourage you to memorize them.
What a privilege we get, as husbands, to live the parable of the love of Christ for His unworthy bride.
Just think!
We men get to be actors on the great stage of the gospel for the world to see. We can either tell the world how much Jesus loves His bride. Or we can tell them He is waiting for His bride to clean herself and make herself worthy before He will give His love to her.
Tell them He's magnificent.
Tell them He's forgiving.
Tell them He serves.
Tell them He dies.
Tell them.
-Chris
Editor's Note: I couldn't get Chris to officially join the blog team here because he is already over extended. So, he is unofficially a THEOparadox Advisor. Someday, I'll award him a shirt to prove it.
