A Question For Future Husbands

by Peter Lindstrom Comments (4) 2 Minutes Read 2836 Views (0)

Future husbands, here’s a question in respect to your leadership plan in the home.

[tweet_dis]Should the woman say no to you when you ask for her hand in marriage?[/tweet_dis]

 

Donald Whitney in his article, “Husbands, It’s Time to Start Leading Family Worship,” offers insight for a single woman interested in marriage.

He writes,

Single women—resolve not to marry a man who will not pray with you and lead you in worship daily. For if he will not lead you spiritually in this way before you wed, it is very unlikely that he will do so after. If a man shows an interest in marrying you, talk to him about family worship before you commit your life and the lives of your future children to him.

Great advice.

Men, as you seek your future spouses, let’s determine today that you will lead them and your families in the Lord.

This is also a great reminder to all husbands (including me) to recall the importance of family worship and discipleship and repent for not leading as we ought.

What fears do you have in leading your wife and children in the Lord?

How have you grown spiritually to meet the challenge of family worship in the home?

    Our family is currently seeking the LORD in learning how we can incorporate “daily” activities as true worship. So we can can better obey the command to worship in all you do. I’ve been asking my eldest son, how can we make “this daily act” an act of worship to our LORD? He’s getting sick of that question. Any other ideas?

      Hey, Sean! Thanks for your comments. I suppose that I would want to ask my son or daughter, if he or she were frustrated by the question, why there is the frustration. I find that for me family worship times (if in the morning) provide the framework to commit the day to the Lord as a day of worship, including all of the “daily” activities for the day. Perhaps, for now, that is all you need to do/say. Also, if you are working with your son or wherever you’re going/doing (traveling, dinnertime, etc.), and taking time to pray to the Lord and asking for His help, that time praying also indirectly communicates to your son and children that all of life is an act of worship/service to God. Your thoughts? Blessings.

    Sean, it was great to talk to you last week. For some reason my ability to respond in the comments was not working for me then. So here you go, another try….Hey, Sean! Thanks for your comments.

Christ is Risen

But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. 1 Corinthians 15:20 “But, now…” Contrary to all the false teachings about the resurrection (1 Corinthians 15:12-19), the Apostle Paul speaks the truth (1 Corinthians 15:1-11).

What If There Was No Easter?

What if there was no Easter? It’s a question that we don’t ask because we already know the truth of the matter. However, what if…? For the Apostle Paul it’s an important thought.

The Goodness of Good Friday

Where is the goodness of Good Friday in a cruel cross? It is evidenced in our salvation from sin. If we took the time to list out all our sins individually it would take us all day [correction: more than a lifetime]. But here’s a short list of our sins in which Paul reminds us of… Read More →

Palm Sunday Preparation

As we remember a personal birthday or an anniversary or Thanksgiving Day… Palm Sunday is all the more important to remember as it brings us to a climax in Jesus’ earthly mission in his life, death and resurrection.

Fear of the Lord: How Should We Think?

As a father and husband trying to lead his family, what does it mean to fear the Lord? To fear the Lord may sound archaic and perhaps unimportant. After all, don’t we just want our children to love God…and not fear Him? Shouldn’t our motto be, “No fear taught here?” For a healthy family, the… Read More →
