The Whole Christ

"In Revelation 22, He is revealed as “the bright
Morning Star” (v. 16), “the First and the Last, the
Beginning and the End” (v. 13). He is the triumphant
Lion of Judah (see Revelation 5:5). He is the Ruler of
the kings of the earth, crowned with many crowns.
With justice He judges and makes war. His eyes are
like blazing fire, His feet like glowing bronze and His
mighty voice like the sound of rushing waters. Yet
within the very same passages, we encounter Him as
the Lamb who was slain. Christian worship must
contain both the cross and the crown."
Excerpt from Facedown by Matt Redman

Good Fruit

“I am the vine, you are the branches.  Those who remain in me, and I in them will produce much fruit.  For apart from me you can do nothing.”  John 15:5

"Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires." Romans 8:5

"for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth" Ephesians 5:9

Headship Vs Leadership

Differences between Headship and Leadership.

Headship responsibility falls solely on the man.

Headship provides the covering for the wife's leadership skills.

Headship requires the man to understand that he himself is under the headship of Christ.

Headship in marriage should replicate the headship of Christ.

The head understands that the buck stops with him.

The head oversees the entire home and marriage.

The head is the final arbiter in deciding direction for the family.

The head is the final point of authority in the home.

Leadership is a natural gift to influence people.

Leadership is closely connected to abilities and personality.

Leadership can be a combination of skills from the husband and the wife.

Leadership can be predominant in one of the spouses.

Leadership must be recognized and released by the head of the home (the man) to be effective.

Leadership responsibilities can be recognized and released in children when they reach maturity.
