The outgrowth of this infection is the teaching that encourages men to focus their efforts on taking the &#8220;lead&#8221; over women, putting them under their authority and control. They are taught that women were made to be led and when men don&#8217;t take leadership over women&#8217;s lives, women will not be able to fulfill their &#8220;role&#8221; in Christ.\u00a0 Recently I heard a teaching where young Christian men were rebuked for taking the authority over their girlfriend&#8217;s by deciding for them what university courses they would register for. The speaker chastised the young men and told them that they were &#8220;not yet&#8221; responsible for making their girlfriend&#8217;s decisions. They needed to wait until they actually became their husbands and then they had this authority. It is no wonder that many women are surprised with an entirely different man on their wedding day than who they thought they were marrying. The teaching that men are responsible for the entire home including their wife and her spirituality has caused many young men to subjugate their women in order to fulfill their calling and for the wife&#8217;s &#8220;own good&#8221;. The spiritual harm that has resulted from the teaching that the man has the mandate to rule his wife for God, has caused untold pain and suffering and a stifling of the woman&#8217;s ability to seek after God for her own life. She is no longer in control of the exercise of her own gifts and calling &#8211; he is.\u00a0<!--more--><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">This alternate &#8220;Christian&#8221; worldview results in man-centered pride and arrogance which breeds dominance and spiritual abuse rather than Christ-centered living through the filling of the Holy Spirit.

We also affirm that all Christians are called to service within the body of Christ, and that God has given to both men and women important and strategic roles within the home, the Church, and the society.

The resurgence movement and Mark Driscoll.<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Mark Driscoll has influenced a lot of younger Christians to accept limitations on the &#8220;roles&#8221; of women.\u00a0 Mark has adopted Bruce Ware&#8217;s view that a person&#8217;s view of gender roles will reveal their view of God, the Bible as God&#8217;s Word, and how the Bible is to be interpreted. Mark&#8217;s view is that complementarianism, or male <\/span>rule<span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"> in the home and church, is <a title=\"Mark Driscoll - resurgence movement\" href=\"http:\/\/theresurgence.com\/2009\/03\/29\/complementarianism\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>vital for the well-being of God&#8217;s people<\/strong><\/a>, and his job, as well as other New Calvinist&#8217;s job, is to present fresh ways of saying this &#8220;old truth&#8221;.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Wade Burleson concludes that complementarianism leads to power-hungry men seeking positions of authority and control, and an almost cultish like god complex. &#8220;I am in the image of God.

You submit to what I say, and don&#8217;t dare try to tell me what I should do.&#8221; He gives three examples of where complementarianism has hurt women.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">1. A Pastor moved his family to a more expensive home against his wife&#8217;s will.\u00a0 Wade writes:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Before the move the pastor&#8217;s wife insisted that the family should not move. She had several very good and valid reasons. However, the pastor informed his wife, that as the man in the home&#8211;&#8220;the one with authority&#8221;&#8211;he would make the decision to move and overrule any objections he heard. He said moving was &#8220;the right thing&#8221; to do, and submission to his authority was &#8220;the right thing&#8221; for her to do.\u00a0 So the pastor&#8217;s family moved. I have withheld names, but I do hope the pastor reads this blog and realizes the dysfunctional nature of the argument he had with his wife. Multiply this by hundreds of times in conservative, evangelical homes and you get a picture of the problems created when Christian men have a warped view of their authority.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">2.
