So being a leader doesn't look like so much fun now, does it?
If so, TOUGH ROCKS, PAL!
When you get married and have kids, you have no choice be to lead. If you are the man in the complementary-gender union (an actual, genetic male), then you are the leader. Period. No ifs, ands, or buts. That means you must do everything in your power to LEAD YOUR FAMILY TO CHRIST.
This includes, but is not limited to:
-Marrying a godly woman (an actual, genetic female of legal age)
-Choosing a Christ-centered church
-Dragging said family to a Christ-centered church, kicking and screaming (if they don't like it, they can MOVE!)
-Protecting your family from all threats. Yes, that's right. YOU MUST DIE FOR THEM IF NECESSARY!
-Providing food, shelter, clothing, education, and medical care (even if it means working five jobs)
-Staying sexually pure (No porn, no monkey-spanking, no mistresses, no brothels and no orgies)
-Casting out family members who are abusive or addicts. If they abuse their relatives or do drugs or break the law, THROW THEM OUT!
And that's the real reason why you have veto power on family decisions, get sweet love from your wife three times a week (sodomy excluded), and can sit on the sofa while your kids mow the lawn and do the dishes. Because you are the protector. The provider. The leader* who will show them Jesus Christ with your life. For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.**
*Women are allowed to lead in public office, scientific research, business, academia and all other areas outside of the church and the family. Leadership in the family and church must be male-only, though.
**Romans 6:23 (ESV)
