Don't Just Feed Them On Sundays
This is from a short article by Fred Wolfe:
How could churches build fathers into the spiritual leaders their families desperately need? I suggest that we stop trying. Well, at least stop operating under the illusion that families don’t practice family worship. The reality of the situation is that families are already indeed worshipping together. The key question is not if they are worshipping, but what they are worshipping. Are they worshipping football games, television, video games, twitter, vacations, and any number of other idols that the father has erected or has allowed to exist in his home?
A father that believes in keeping his children with him on Sunday, but fills his family with idols throughout the week breeds inconsistency in his children. A man would not feed his children food on Sunday, and starve them during the work week. Family Integrated Church on Sunday may be nourishing, but a child will spiritually starve if that practice is not carried out throughout the week.
