EH?

I'm sitting watching 'Wife Swap' on TV. Two very different types of Christian families have swapped the ladies. (Why on earth anyone would want to do this I do not know)

One of these christian families say they have Jesus in their hearts and they love to drink, smoke, club and live it up. The father in this home gave a good summation of where they are; whilst speaking of the gambling and drunkenness he enjoyed he said "None of us are perfect and we all sin every day so..."
What I ask? So we may as well sin like a good un? "Shall we sin that grace may abound? Certainly not" or so says the Apostle Paul.

The other family has a pastor as father and the wife does absolutely everything in the home! They believe that the wife is the homemaker and that she does it all. He holds all the money, she asks when she need it and the discipline is flowing. She cooks, cleans, rears the kids and volunteers at church as well as ironing etc for other people, she even set her husbands clothes out at night. I watched ashamed as this man stood scolding the lady who had swapped places with his wife as she washed dishes after a guest party without even unfolding his arms to dry a single plate! He unashamedly told that he did nothing in the house. To be wife in this home means you work from early morning to late night while the husband comes back from work and kicks back to relax.

I have to say that what I've seen on this program, the first family I've mentioned are absolute liberals and their faith is merely some past decision and consists of only words.
Jesus does not change our position before Himself and leave our character untouched. The phrases such as "this is who I am and this is how I was made" are often used by people without thought and often I believe are just an excuse for sin or coldness (does it in fact mean 'I'm born and made a sinner so that's who I am?) and an excuse for not seeking God.
Though, it was good to hear this couple decide that they needed to get back to church and into Bible studies. Perhaps they are victims of the 'stick your hand up' evangelicalism that highly neglects actual discipleship.

The second family had much to be admired, their faith, commitment to church and love for Jesus. But as I watched I was appalled that this pastor left his helpmate to do all the work. I know all the old arguments for this and frankly they are tiresome.
As head of the home we men are called to lead the home, called to sacrifice ourselves for the good of our wife, to teach and rear our children and not to lord it over them. I felt watching this that this man done his pastoral work yet neglected his first and primary position as shepherd of his family. Yet he expected his wife to do all the home work and to pour every other waking hour into the church. Now I am not critical of living around church life, but of neglecting the role of husband.

If anyone else watched this I'd love to hear your thoughts.

My main thoughts are basically;
'Why would anyone want to do this show?'
and
'I'd miss my best friend too much for the week!'
