Biblical Patriarchy

Biblical Patriarchy

Dan Samms

Scripture consistently teaches that men are to lead their homes and that godly men who lead their homes well are the ones qualified to lead in the civil arena as magistrates and in the church as elders/pastors. Ephesians 5, 1 Cor. 11, 1 Peter 3, and many other passages give us insight on this biblical patriarchy. Critical to understanding this is that these men are to oversee their homes in an understanding way, loving their wives and children. Proverbs 31 describes a woman who thrives under her husband's authority. She feeds the poor, invests in real estate, speaks wisdom, and is honored by her husband and children. Of course, this requires manly men who lead well, love God, and make disciples in their homes.

Dan Samms lives his life hoping that when he dies his obituary looks something like this: “Daniel Samms, husband to Christy, father to Micah, Hannah, and Jayna, and pastor to a local underground church died Friday when authorities executed him for preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ in defiance to anti-proselytization mandates. He was known for loving God and loving people and seemed to operate on a strength not his own. He made disciples of Jesus and taught them how to make other disciples. He hated tyranny, loved guns, and liked woodwork. He loved only one woman and spent every day trying to impress her and glorify God. His children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren follow Christ. Services will be held at an undisclosed location due to government sanctions.”
