A primer on how to lead your wife, part 3: leading means calling

It is easy to drift off mission. The new birth results in a radical break with sin, as we emphasized in part 2—but it doesn't obliterate those old desires. We all find ourselves in an intense spiritual struggle. Paul says, "For the flesh sets its desire against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh" (Gal 5:17). The same voice that was in Cain, though weakened, remains in us. It tempts us to lay aside kingdom work and build for our own selfish purposes. Therefore, we must constantly realign not just ourselves but our entire household to the mission of God.
