Sacrificial leadership
Written by Kevin Harper on 2005-03-17 16:30:47I\'m big into the idea of sacrificial leadership, as opposed to authoritarian leadership. When we really lay down our lives for our wives as Christ did for us, we engeander followership in them. Hmmm...kinda like Christ engeanders followership in us. :-)

Perhaps this has something to do with Jesus� words about offering a sacrifice and having a quarrel with our brother�that the person has to leave the sacrifice and go make amends with his brother? Maybe this type of action toward the weaker vessel can be defined as evil and thus hinders prayers?

I think you\'ve hit it on the nose, my friend. This is just a specific application of a broader truth that has already been taught.

Written by Kathleen on 2005-03-19 12:13:07As a wife I understand that my husband would have to sacrifice in order to lead me. I am not easily led. And I know that his kindnesses to me as he tries to do just that, things which no one ever sees, is evidence, at least to me, that he is walking with Christ. So perhaps Peter is saying that if a man is leading.... but not loving... his wife, then that is evidence that he is not walking with Christ. Sort of like the old horse and carriage - \"can\'t have one without the other.\"
Good insight Sister Kathleen
