You have heard that it was said, "Don't beat your kids or spouse," but I say, Don't disrespect a single person in your house. You have heard that it was said, "You'd give your life for your wife," but I say, Give up controlling her as deepest sacrifice. You have heard that it was said, "Men, at home, be servant-leaders," but I say, Just be the servants and the caring interceders. You have heard that it was said, "You are your wife's authority," but I say, Share equal power as a top priority. Jesus is the fount of blessing in whose Spirit I am writing, moving standards ever higher as His power we're inviting.
