"Why do so many churches pull the family apart in the name of Christ?
Ladies' Soulwinning
Men's Soulwinning
Teen Soulwinning
Youth Group
Children's club
Christian SchoolEtc.
While I am not completely against any of these, I am also concerned that we have families running in so many different directions that they never serve together. And if a father were to venture to unite his family and thereby not allow his children to partake in one of these weekly or daily activities he is now considered disloyal or questioning the "Man of God". Are not fathers the Man of God for their homes? Does the pastor truly trump a father?
Why not have family soulwinning?
Family activities?
Family Camp?
etc.
Once again, don't misunderstand me. We had a mens breakfast this morning from 8-10. We do this monthly. I understand the need for men to get together. Next week there will be a ladies meeting for 3 hours. This too is monthly. But none of these are to the extent of trumping the family. In fact, my two boys (5&6) were at the men's breakfast. How else will they learn to be like men? By hanging around a bunch of boys with a few adult supervisors?
I am burdened for our fundamental families. It is like watching children follow the Pied Piper."
