This is the Gospel

[Purity03]

Amen! be watchful, thats to all of us, how we are to be careful and stand firm in our faith. Watever causes us to stumble we are to build a defense against. Amen.

[Purity03]

Awwhhh Praise God! I love how he explains how he is with his wife. Amen!

[TheK1N1]

@durdo00 But if he says a woman is supposed to be lead by a man (in a marriage) the SAME way as the man is supposed to be lead by God then critisizing himself for not obeying and describing it as acting like a 4 year old implies critisizing HER for not obeying and describing it as well as acting like a 4 year old.

The relation between man and God is different from that one between man and woman.God knows more than the man.The man doesnt know more than the woman, they are created equal

@durdo00

Correction:

"So while Audrey is in the corner thinking about it, why don't you go to the other corner and you think about it over there?"

[durdo00]

@TheK1N1 He is comparing HIMSELF with the girl. He simulates God speaking:

God: The one where I try to lead you like this and you're like "no, no, I want my style" and you are a 4 year-old-girl! This looks very similar to me Chandler (from Matt Chandler). So while Audrey (Matt Chandler's daughter) is in the corner thinking about it what don't you go to the other corner and to think about it over there?

He's talking about how he understand God when trying to be a man.

At 0:33 you can see also

[TheK1N1]

But I like the fact that he emphasizes the duty of a man to love their woman like Christ loves the church and to keep on loving, no matter if they get it back or not. To that kind of a man it's easy to submit.I'd probably even do it if the bible wouldn't command it.

[TheK1N1]

I dont like that he compares women with 4year old girls. Of course he knows better whats good for his daughter than herself because she's a child with no experience and he's a grown up.But women are grown up too and have experience like him.So what makes him think that the man knows always better whats good for the woman then herself?

[NealMcCrispy]

It's not good for man to be alone.

[OmoItsekiri]

@plasticpuppy I think that is the point, like what he said about his daughter, Daddy knows best. The hardest thing to do is to admit God knows best, no matter how smart and knowledgeable you are. It is harder to listen to than to do as you please. Yes God wants the driver's seat, but only if you GIVE it to him.

@aoiahiru you are missing the point, this is also for single men ( I am one), Gods love amazes me in situations different from his because he is married, for example loving my father who has been an alcoholic my whole life yet something inside does not allow me to give up hope that he would change, or the teens who respect me and look up to me yet find it so hard to follow some of the advice I give them. You can be a single MAN marriage doesnt define you
