Headship is the divine calling of a husband to take primary responsibility for Christlike, servant leadership, protection, and provision in the home.
John PiperThe way of the cross is the way of suffering. Christians are called to die, not kill, in order to show the world how they are loved by Christ.
John PiperMarriage is not mainly about prospering economically. It is mainly about displaying the covenant keeping love between Christ and his Church
John PiperChrist did not die to forgive sinners who go on treasuring anything above seeing and savoring God. And people who would be happy in heaven if Christ were not there, will not be there. The gospel is not a way to get people to heaven; it is a way to get people to God. It's a way of overcoming every obstacle to everlasting joy in God. If we don't want God above all things, we have not been converted by the gospel.
John Piper
