Conspiracy to remove the Priest, Provider & Protector (Part I)


First off I want to say I am only a conspiratist where there is a conspiracy.  It was not until I got older that I realized that there is ALWAYS a conspiracy!?  Before I explain let us look at a definition of conspiracy:
conspiracy: a secret plan by a group to do something unlawful or harmful, the action of plotting or conspiring.

By it's own definition it is a "secret-plan".  That means that the secret, subversive, subtle, hidden, undisclosed or hush-hush objective is to undermined the already existing plan using illegal or harmful (violent) tactics.  If this plan or objective is hidden then how exactly is it revealed?  Who is involved?  What is the objective?  Where are they located?  When did this start? Why would an individual or group want to do whatever it is they are doing?  You guys always ask great questions.


Lets start by who or what is the Priest, Provider & Protector?  The answer here is two-fold;

The Priest (first fold)
The Priest, Provider and Protector is God's calling for every man to his family.  The Priest is the man who takes the petitions of the family to God on their behalf and relays God's direction to the family, not to be confused with the Prophet who relays God's directives / commandments to the (His) peoples (typically masses).


My goal should be to help my family see their lives in light of and in the light of the gospel.  I am to lead them to Jesus, first in salvation, then in sanctification as I grow towards Jesus myself.  The tools used are prayer, Bible study, music, scripture memory, confession, and repentance.  I don't have to model perfection.  I must model forgiveness!

1Corinthians 11:3 NKJV
But I want you to know that the head of every man is Christ, the head of woman is man, and the head of Christ is God.


Lead by Leading
As the "head" of the family I lead by leading.  Example isn't a thing, it's the only thing!  The family must see me lead my self to the Lord first, if they are to follow.  I lead with praise to God and with intercession (prayer) to God.

As men, its time to stop being a bonehead, a meat head, a muscle head, an airhead or a knucklehead… do whatever it takes to be a Godly head?

More to come...
