The Bible teaches that men and women have distinct roles in marriage, with men as the head and women as the helper. This order is not based on superiority, but rather on the design of God.

However, the gospel restores relationships to their original design, where men lead and women submit, and both are equal in essence but different in function. [... more]

The Bible regards idolatry as devil worship and a form of identity theft. Christians must have the same attitude as Jeremiah, who questioned whether people would again make gods for themselves that are not gods. The Old Testament writers described idols as dung gods or gods of dung, showing contempt for them. The high places where pagans worshiped were not God's intention, but rather a plan B for the Jews. God worked through men like Samuel, but also had to deal with men like Hophni, Phineas, and Eli. Jesus went out of his way to save a Samaritan woman, showing that he is tolerant of ignorance and bad times. However, the truth is offensive to idolaters, who condemn it and are intolerant of its condemnation. The Bible teaches that Christians should not have fellowship with demons or participate in their worship. The high places of the pagans were where they worshiped their false gods, and the Jews were allowed to worship there for a time, but it was not God's intention. The Bible teaches that Christians should not worship at high places or participate in pagan worship. Instead, they should seek the place where God chooses to put his name and worship there.

A godly person will not make up things about God or create idols, but rather will seek to understand and follow God's word. [... more]

A godly man should be kind, suffer long, and not envy others, but rather love and serve others as Christ loved and served us. [... more]

A husband's role in the family is not just to provide financially, but to lead and serve as a servant leader, taking responsibility for his family's physical, spiritual, and emotional needs.

Marriage is an institution created by God, designed to provide spiritual, emotional, and physical intimacy.
