The word itself is associated with spiritual leadership in both the Old and New Testaments. In other words, he makes a direct link between home management and church management. It may or may not be so much in terms of managerial techniques as in pastoral concern. Many family-neglecters may have tremendous managerial skills but no real pastoral concern, and skill just will not cut it. Compassion and concern are the hallmarks of good leadership in the church.
Christian leadership is servant leadership.
Success in the marriage and family is tied to success in the church. Family management takes time that cannot be pushed off on the wife alone, and it is ministry, not something that detracts from ministry.
