Colossians: Life in the Home - Pastor Bronson Duke - a podcast by NLC Downtown Little Rock

In our journey through Colossians, Paul takes aim at setting a vision for what Biblical family should look like. Paul is not defining specifics of gender roles, but pointing to our intended design. God has made us as men and women equal and at the same time distinct in the way we function individually and together. God has a distinct vision for the order of the Christian household that is helpful and applicable for all people at all times. 

“Wives, submit yourselves to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. Husbands, love your wives and do not be harsh with them.”

Colossians 3:18-19 (NIV)

“At the same time, Genesis shows us that men and women were created with absolute equality. Both are equally made in the image of God, equally blessed, and equally given “dominion” over the earth. This means that men and women together, in full participation, must carry out God’s mandate to build civilization and culture. Both men and women are called to do science and art, to build families and human communities.”
