This is wonderful to read, and I wish I had done so with some of my nephews. I wonder what kind of a difference it might have made. They're all grown now, and of all of them, one pays lip service to being a believer, but has yet to really repent and commit his life to Christ. Still praying.

Before he went off to college, my wife and I would do studies with our older son in the evenings after the little ones went to bed. We even went through the portions of <i>God's Wisdom in Proverbs</i> about godly relationships and godly marriage together. R.C. Sproul's <i>The Holiness of God</i> and Voddie Baucham's <i>What He Must Be</i> are two others we enjoyed reading and discussing together and that I would recommend to others for studying with their older children.Dale Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15094240069660570618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-18821301764469687562015-03-03T14:00:50.825-08:002015-03-03T14:00:50.825-08:00Great post.

It is so important that we men as husband & fathers lead our families to the cross. We must preach & teach them the Word, pray for them & teach them to pray. And protect them both physically & spiritually. And provide for them. It is a work by God's grace.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02222386011664015041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-70132932902653341222015-03-03T06:18:17.342-08:002015-03-03T06:18:17.342-08:00I say this in its most manly sense, but that is ju...I say this in its most manly sense, but that is just sweet.

We just do a chapter at a time right now.<br /><br />My oldest is in college, was a sold-out Calvinist Baptist theologian by the time he was 15, and I didn't even push him hard (it's amazing how compelling sound exegesis is), and is dating a Presbyterian girl who he has brought to our church a few times. I don't know about this unevenly yoked proselytizing dating, but her parents seem okay with it knowing that my son is at least a Calvinist. I'm comforted by the fact that our pastor's wife grew up Presbyterian.<br /><br />Back to a serious note, this is exactly what we as Christian men should be doing with out kids. Family devotion time is good, especially that the family prays together and ministers together. But the thing each kid needs is time with dad studying the Bible.Jim Pembertonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01446388434272680014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-32305295901567667362015-03-03T05:32:20.882-08:002015-03-03T05:32:20.882-08:00Excellent!
