Faith in the Home

We have seen what God looks for in how parents lead in the home.  Abraham had a personal relationship with God.  He had a faith walk of integrity.  Which is extremely important.  Abraham also taught and led his family to know God personally and intimately; teaching them to walk according to the precepts of God’s word.  This was God’s expectation for the nation of Israel in general and for each family in particular.  God commanded the parents and leaders in the home to educate and lead their families in the fear and knowledge of the Lord.  They were to believe and live it themselves and to lead and guide those within their homes to do the same.  Just how imperative is it that each parent to do his or her part to see that the goal is reached?   It is extremely important.  Research shows that the future of our teens depends upon that faithfulness.  It isn’t programs or staffing that brings the result of teens staying faithful to Christ and His church.  It’s the parents.
