Proverbs 9:8-9

• God has different expectations of men than women.
• God holds men to a higher level of accountability in the Home than women.
God is the only perfect role model for a man., C. S. Lewis said it brilliantly: "God is so masculine, that all of creation is feminine by comparison.
3. If we were to summarize the strategy of Satan in a simple statement I think it would be this: Neutralize the Man. Does Satan have designs o ...
