As we enter our second season of this year’s reading, we will be working though the Family Driven Faith by Voddie Bachaum Jr. This is going to be an intense journey of evaluating our backgrounds, upbringing and future plans for our families.
One key issue that I am looking for as we discuss what we read is, “Have we passed the buck of raising our children to the church or the educational system?” It will be interesting to see how we work through this question. It is not the question of the book but as I think through and read, this is the question that has popped into my mind.
I look forward to really gaining an understanding of a godly home and Biblically-based mindset of raising kids. The challenging thing is that you don’t have to wonder where this author stands. Whether we agree with everything he writes or proposes, the real question is where do each of us stand and is the scripture the foundation of our stand or our experience, upbringing and culture?
So I challenge you to journey through this season together and let us challenge/test/evaluate our upbringing, cultural assumptions, present practice and future plans for our families. Will you man-up to the challenge or coast to the difficulty?
We meet on May 16, 2010 at 5:30 pm and we are reading the Introduction –Third Chapter before that night.
