From a soon-to-be pastor in the UK Greetings Pastor John, I'm about to graduate from

seminary and start a job as an associate pastor in four months.

I am a complementarian.

However, from observing local churches in my country, it is discouraging, as it appears

more and more of them are submitting to a egalitarianism simply out of social norms and expectations

of church leadership from a secular point of view.

With the legalization of gay marriage rights, this move seems even more harmless now to

a lot of churches in the West.

With that in mind, what do you view the future of male headship in the home and church?

Is it now a lost cause?

A losing cause?

What do you think it will endure?

Complementarianism will endure.

It is not a lost cause.

The reason I think it will endure and is not a lost cause may not be exactly what

you think.

Let me give you three reasons it will endure that are not the reason I'm going to give.

In others, I think there are a lot of reasons why it won't, but these three are the ones

you probably thought I would give, so I'm going to give them and then give the one I really

want to give.

Reason number one, why it will endure.

It will endure because it is true to God's Word.
