FATHERING & FATHERHOOD
getting back to basics

Proverbs 23:10 Remove not the old landmark; and enter not into the fields of the fatherless: For their redeemer is mighty; he shall plead their cause with thee.

Apply thine heart unto instruction, and thine ears to the words of knowledge. Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die.


Psalms 11:3 If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?

SUBJECTION ?
Lawlessness
Rebellion
Disobedience

Foundation of family
failure is failure to teach.

IS CHURCH FOUNDED ON FAMILY?
A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach; . . . 4One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity; (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?)

IS FAMILY A MISSION
OF CHURCH?

LAW & ORDER - Why societies fail?
Societies fail when families fail
Families fail when fathers fail
Fathers fail when churches fail
Churches fail when bishops fail to teach biblical obedience in family life

INSTRUCTION !!!! Plus
Findeth a wife - must search
Obey - oops
Are the older women teaching?

Proverbs 18:22 Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the Lord.

Titus 2:3 The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things; 4 That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, 5 To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.
