22 And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church,
Here is where the order of things originates. Christ is head of the church, Man is the head of the family. and there is clarified the chain of command if you will. There always needs to be the point person where the proverbial buck stops. Power abhors a vacuum. In other words there always needs to be an authority in place to guide the way. In the context of Christianity we are ruled willingly. The Lord has the reins of our hearts and we are guided with the least amount of pressure, not with the whip or the rod but we are led by the eye. This is a benevolent kindgom, where the subjects are willing to be ruled because we trust that our King has our best interests in mind for every and all of our circumstances. This kind of trust emerges as we begin to fathom that He loves us. This point is easy to get into the head but most never really begin to get it into their heart.
APPLICATION
Trust and obey.
Welcome
One of the most effective ways to allow the Word of God to affect your life is to study it inductively. That is what this blog is all about. Typically one verse per day will be mined for insight and then followed up with how I plan to implement that insight practically. My prayer is that in some way you find this useful in your journey and that it may impact you positively. -G
