Chauvinist #2: Success and Status Stewart

As part of our look at biblical manhood here on the blog, here’s the second of Pastor Mark’s four profiles of typical chauvinists. Number two, Success and Status Stewart, this is the guy, he defines himself, the Bible says, by what he has and does. He has this sort of leftover, hyper-jock competitive mentality. "Here's how much I make. Here's how my company's doing. Here's my car. Here's my house. Here's my success. Here's my wins. Here's my victories." And he treats his wife just like another trophy; her job is to look pretty and be quiet and just make him look good as yet another notch on his belt. He doesn't love her well, doesn't serve her well. He's more worried about his income and his possessions than his wife and his children. Excerpted from the Marriage and Men sermon (1 Peter 3:7), one of the most popular sermons in the Mars Hill media library and a seminal introduction to Mars Hill’s teachings on biblical manhood.
