A Life and Legacy Consistent in Parental Devotion to God -Part 2

Pearls of Biblical Wisdom for Believers and Fathers

This podcast is the 2nd recording of two with Ben Solensky teaching. The first podcast was entitled: A Life and Legacy Consistent in Parental Devotion to God. In that podcast Ben began his Biblical explanation of how fathers can fulfill the admonition in Ephesians 6:4 And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. In this podcast he expands the understanding of the home, family, discipleship and also gives more wisdom a father needs to fulfill his responsibilities. I can only say: “I wished I had years ago the understanding of the principles he explains. There are so man Biblical principles he explains that helps a father understand the enabling God gives and also practical application of questions and protests that come up when a father honestly expresses: “I don’t know if I can do this and I’m not sure how to accomplish it. He shares wisdom that comes from considering the concept of spiritual families in the Bible by looking at a eunuch, Esther, Daniel in the O.T. and Paul, Jesus and in the New Testament. He then explains what does it look like to lead in Family Worship. He explains how to use the “Family Worship Bible Guide” with your family. We mentioned this book at the beginning of the first podcast. He explains what is the greatest thing a father can do for his family. He explains in much detail how to use the following approach in Family Worship 1. Read (the Bible) 2. Pray 3. Sing Also, he explains: the critical importance of consistency and looking for teachable moments -- Why a father should be thinking: “this is not just what my family needs, this is what I need” -- how to determine the time of family worship – why the family worship time should be the highest priority of the day. He also spends considerable time answering objections, protests, and questions that many times come up (as I mentioned earlier) when fathers consider the family worship time.
