Second Girls Breakaway Chapel

On October 31, we had our second breakaway chapel. Mrs. Suam talked to the girls about the 5 core qualities God has given us as women and the Core qualities He has given to men. Starting with the 5 core qualities of men, we ran out of time and didn’t quite get to the core qualities of women.

God gave men 5 specific qualities which fit perfectly with those that he gave to women. The first is Taking Initiative. This means that He gave men a desire to grow up, leave their parents, and start a family of his own. The second is a desire to work to provide for his family, this means getting a job and working hard for a solid income. The third core quality is to protect his wife and family from harm and to provide a solid Christian foundation in his home. The next quality is to exercise spiritual oversight. This means seeing the bigger picture and doing his best to do the right thing in God’s eyes. The last core quality of a man is to exercise Godly leadership. God intended men to lead his wife spiritually, to instruct her and to help her grow closer to God.

In the Bible, God makes it very clear to us that he intended for men to be in positions of authority and to lead women. Even from how woman was created, she was created from the man’s rib. After God had created Adam and Eve, he placed them in the garden and made told man to name all the animals. He was putting Adam in charge of the animals and in authority over everything living that was on the earth. Today, we often desire to be in leadership positions. This is because of sin and our want to be above or better than others. We often forget that leadership positions in fact do not make you better than anyone else.
