Hope Baptist Church

The articles here are musings on the problems that have come from turning away from the Biblical order in the home and the church. There is nowhere where this is so vividly illustrated as in the schedule of the average church, and in the behavior of the average father in his home.

The scriptures are perfectly clear: children should be trained in spiritual matters by their fathers and qualified teachers in the church. God has provided a delivery system for the news of the kingdom of God, that includes fathers and when you bypass him, you reject the Biblical order for the church and the home.

As the church has followed the world system, she has nearly obliterated the scriptural role of the head of the household in church life. This has paralleled what the world has done in the broader culture. Unwittingly, the church has taken over the fathers role and given it to preachers, women, Sunday school teachers, and childcare workers.

The problem becomes clearer, when you look where the bulk of the energy of human resource is directed in the average church. Massive amounts of energy are plunged into things that secure short term attendance bumps by making low entry level slots for people to be involved, but neglect the long term activity and energy investment that secures a future for many generations.

In these articles you will find a call for reformation of practices regarding the role of fathers.
