Cultivating A Home That Honors The Lord

¹ Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. ² "Honor your father and mother," which is the first commandment with promise: ³ "that it may be well with you and you may live long on the earth." ⁴ And you, fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath, but bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord. Ephesians 6:1-4 (New King James Version)

Here is the final sermon in the series, "Relationship Rescue." You can also watch the song I mentioned by Merle Haggard titled, "Mama Tried" by clicking on the You Tube video below the sermon video

The Core Response of a Christian Wife

The Core Role of a Christian Husband

 

As I mentioned in the first service, but failed to make clear in the second, I am grateful to Voddie Baucham for his insights into this passage.

A Review of "The New Guidebook for Pastors"

Bryant, James W., and Mac Brunson. The New Guidebook for Pastors. Nashville, TN: B & H Publishing Group, 2007.

James W. Bryant and Mac Brunson collaborate as authors of The New Guidebook for Pastors.  Bryant (Th.D., Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary) is senior professor of pastoral theology at The Criswell College in Dallas, Texas.  Brunson (D. Min., Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary) is the senior pastor of the First Baptist Church in Jacksonville, Florida.  The idea for their book began with a discussion about revising Criswell’s Guidebook for Pastors.  It was eventually decided that a new work was in order.  The purpose of the book is to provide an overview of all major facets of pastoral ministry.  The authors admit that each chapter of the book could easily be turned into a book of its own.  Their goal was to produce a resource that would aid the new pastor as well as the seasoned pastor.  They envisioned a text that would be used in seminaries in an effort to equip pastors for their work as well as producing a book that would be used regularly in the context of the local church.
