Women and the Church have brought about controversy in the eyes of people across the globe. This is a sensitive topic for most people and I completely understand. Understanding the order of men and women in creation is parallel to the order of men and women in the church.
They are parallel in creation because God made man first. Woman second.
They are parallel in the church because God made the man to be head of his wife and household.
Men who understand the order of things the way God wants them have often been called sexist, and even chauvinistic. God wants men to be leaders and lead their families. God wants me to lead my wife and kids straight to heaven through his word. Preaching and teaching my family. If men are lazy in the leadership department, which I am guilty of, then many women feel obligated to take the leadership role. I completely understand how women would feel not heard or overlooked. Many women think that they don’t have equal rights as men do in the church because they aren’t allowed behind the pulpit. Women play a strong role in the church.
Many women today have had to take the lead because the men in their lives won’t or maybe in a situation where they had to. Whatever the case, God designed and assigned men to be leaders in the church. Women today have had to be strong and independent to survive in the world, however, that is a worldly view.
Though women aren’t supposed to be behind the pulpit they play a powerful role in the church. Teaching classes to our youth in youth classes and Bible study!! Studying Bible in the home, very important. Our youth is our future. We have to preach and teach our young ones or else no one is there to carry on after we are gone.
Genesis 2:21-22 NIV
[21] So the Lord God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man’s ribs and then closed up the place with flesh. [22] Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.
Genesis 2:23 NIV
[23] The man said, “This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called ‘woman,’ for she was taken out of man. ”
Just as Christ is head of the church, man is head of his wife and household by the Lord’s design.
“For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior.”
Ephesians 5:23 NIV

It is important for us to search the scriptures and understand the order of things. Without order there is chaos and confusion. God is not a God of confusion but of order and understanding.
In him
