Secondly, fathers must bring up their children in the discipline (παιδεία) and instruction (νουθεσία) of the Lord.
He also says that fathers should bring up their children according to the guidance (νουθεσία) of God. This careful and careful work has proven that the Bible calls for male spiritual leadership in the home. This chapter sets out the theoretical and practical issues related to male spiritual leadership in the home.

Jonathan Edwards said, "The chief means of grace is the Word of God: that abiding revelation of the mind and will of God which He gives to the world, and it is, as it were, the sum of all means."104 It is essential that a man hears God's voice to be the spiritual leader of his house. This position is a three-part breakdown of John Piper's definition of spiritual leadership: Spiritual leadership in the home requires a man to “[know] where God wants [his family] to be and [take] the initiative to use God's methods to help them . Becoming a gospel-centered leader in the home.”6 The main idea was based on John Piper's definition of spiritual leadership: Spiritual leadership in the home requires a man to “[know] where God wants [his family] to be and take the initiative to follow God's methods. to get them there, trusting in God's power.”7 This definition implies three things: A man must have guidance, methodology, and power to be the spiritual leader of his house.
On Monday, the participants were reminded of John Piper's definition for spiritual leadership: spiritual leadership requires a man to “[know] where God wants [his family] to be and [take] the initiative to use God's methods to get them to get there in confidence. on God's strength.”13 On Tuesday, the participants were challenged to consider the fact that the gospel is not handed down like a surname. If a man does not lead his family to keep these ordinances, he is hindering the growth of his family - the exact opposite of what God has entrusted to him. The second section of lesson 1 asks: "What is the gospel?" This section is divided into two parts: "the gospel on the ground" and "the gospel in the air."18 The gospel on the ground explains the good news of Jesus through the God, Man, Christ, Response paradigm.
This paradigm is more personal and gives the most direct answer to the question, "How shall I be saved?" The Gospel in the Air, on the other hand, explains the good news of Jesus through the paradigm of creation, fall, redemption, perfection. The third and final part of Lesson 1 asks, “Why is the gospel important at home?” The three reasons explained and discussed in class were (1) to value one's family; (2) prevent false gospels; and (3) to practice a missionary life. Will you commit to praying for a heart that wants to glorify God more and more?” The purpose of this question was to encourage them to think about their personal holiness in prayer.
The men simply had to be consistent with their "talks of faith". The third part of the instruction was called "faith process," which is a plan that involves the husband individually as shepherd of his wife and children by addressing their special needs at each stage of life. After determining the details of their "faith speeches" and "faith processes," the men were equipped and empowered to be family shepherds in their homes. The second goal was to develop a four-week study to be used with at least twenty men who fall within the target population.3 The third goal was to develop a daily devotional in written and audio format to accompany the study.4 The fourth goal. was to develop an Individualized Family Shepherding Plan (IFSP).5 The fifth goal was to equip the men of the FBC to be gospel-centered leaders in their homes by implementing the four-week study, accompanying devotional, and IFSP to target audience.
The second goal was to develop and four-week study to be used with at least twenty men who fall within the target group.8 The study covered basic family discipleship, such as leading a family worship experience and instilling godly character in the wife. and children.

A Man Must Have Direction in His Home
- Where does God want a man’s family to be?
- What is the gospel?
- Why is the gospel important in the home?
- The lingering questions
The earth was full of God's shalom, the kind of peace in which everything works according to God's purpose. The world was created for human flourishing, where we could live in joy in the presence of our Creator, worshiping God by loving Him and one another forever. Fortunately, a loving Creator, rightly shown to be angry at our sin, is determined to turn the evil and suffering we have caused into good that will be for His greatest glory.

So the next movement shows God implementing a master plan to redeem His world and save fallen sinners. In the person of Jesus Christ, God himself comes to renew the world and restore his people - and quench his wrath on Jesus so that he can extend his mercy to us.
God has promised to renew the whole world, and the Bible gives us a peak into this glorious future. Fathers must raise their children in the discipline and instruction of the Lord (Eph 6:4). Will you commit to praying for a heart that desires to equip your family to increasingly glorify God.

Putting Together an Individualized Family Shepherding Plan
- When Am I Going To Do It?
Definition: A plan that involves a man individually caring for his wife and children by addressing their special needs at each stage of life. Content: Choose a book of the Bible, a specific biblical text, or a creed to be covered gradually over several weeks; the time spent together is more important than how many words or verses you cover each week. If you choose a Bible book or creed, you don't have to think about what you're going to do every week.
Be willing to share your answers to these questions as well, confessing your sins to one another (James 5:16-18). Answer: Journal together with a one-sentence thought, a scripture from today's discussion, and a short prayer. Read a portion of Scripture together, discuss it, and then read a chapter from a book the child has chosen to read.

In the power of the Holy Spirit, you will be able to achieve God's goal for your family: to live a life that increasingly glorifies God and equips your family to increasingly glorify God. Live to the letter whatever situation you think is God's will." When you are at home, you are all there. Spiritual leadership in the home requires that a man "[know] where God wants [his family] to be and [takes] the initiative to use God's methods to get them there trusting in God's power".
This week we are dealing with the third segment of the definition: the necessity of our reliance on God's power. This is what the means of grace are all about—putting oneself in the general flow of God's grace so that one receives the power of God. If you do not have knowledge of God's Word, you cannot pass the knowledge of God's Word to your family.
Three components are necessary for you to increase your knowledge of God's Word: reading, mediation and memorization. In the same way, if you read God's Word and meditate on God's Word, you will be changed by God's Word. Instead, it is essential that you know how to speak from God's Word in any environment.
Therefore, if you want to access the power of God to glorify God in your home by leading your family spiritually, you must hear God's voice. The superlative goal: the marriage was lived to the glory of God.” In Building Strong Families, edited by Dennis Rainey, 91-100.
