Colossians 1:18 NKJV

Colossians 1:18 NKJV

[18] And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence.

All institutions rise and fall on leadership. Marriages, families, churches, and governments are no exception to this rule. I witnessed this principle firsthand in my own home.

My position as a husband and father is supposed to be that of a leader. The first thirteen years of my marriage, I did things MY way on MY terms. The more I did them my way, the more things fell apart... the more I did wrong.

It wasn't until "I" surrendered my will completely that "we" (as a family) experienced real peace and restoration. I turned the mess I created over to the Creator. I still struggle to see myself as a leader. I try every day to follow Jesus. As I do that consistently, I have found that I do lead well.
