The pastor and elders are responsible for teaching and disciplining the congregation. Therefore, the elder of the house unit, the father, is responsible for the teaching and disciplining of his family.Shaggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03840619538996198449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6643715.post-32538025298344462502011-06-04T13:20:28.669-04:002011-06-04T13:20:28.669-04:00Thank you for this post as it is such an encourage...Thank you for this post as it is such an encouragement. I am a homeschooling mom of two young teen sons. I pray more Christian parents would see the folly of raising their children to be succussful in the the worlds eyes. That success will not save these dear ones when they stand before our Lord. I pray my husband and I will be an example of service to our sons and that they learn to love the humble work our Lord has for them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6643715.post-20385192687758330382011-06-04T12:55:37.883-04:002011-06-04T12:55:37.883-04:00huge shift that will draw objection/scorn from a w...huge shift that will draw objection/scorn from a world obsessed with success & dominance.Marshall Diakonhttp://worthyhouse.infonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6643715.post-52743870394948234102011-06-03T18:43:43.194-04:002011-06-03T18:43:43.194-04:00John
