A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, temperate, sober-minded, of good behavior, hospitable, able to teach; not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for money, but gentle, not quarrelsome, not covetous; one who rules his own house well, having his children in submission with all reverence (for if a man does not know how to rule his own house, how will he take care of the church of God?); not a novice, lest being puffed up with pride he fall into the same condemnation as the devil. Moreover he must have a good testimony among those who are outside, lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil. Likewise deacons must be reverent, not double-tongued, not given to much wine, not greedy for money, holding the mystery of the faith with a pure conscience. But let these also first be tested; then let them serve as deacons, being found blameless. Likewise, their wives must be reverent, not slanderers, temperate, faithful in all things. Let deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well.

In checkers, each piece has an ultimate goal: to be made king. That kingship comes with a lot more freedom and a lot more responsibility. In the same way, God has given every man the responsibility to lead in various parts of their lives, either on a personal level or on a much larger scale. It’s time for men to rise up and take on the responsibility of Godly leadership.
Every man needs a code to live and lead by. The Bible clearly outlines the basic, foundational pillars and standards for men to lead their families well. This devotional identifies four roles for men to live by. The Spiritual Leader of the home, the King and provider of his castle, the anchor of stability for his crew, and the warrior and protector of his tribe.
