Disciple your family

Thinking a lot lately on how we should be orienting our families, what we should be doing etc. With the church in the house book it was striking that his foundational principles for families are where many of us have come back too

Tues night we watched the first DVD from the vision forum 200 year conference. It was the opening talk, laying out broad principles with some finer strokes, for example on what the Phillips family prays for, over their kids. Great stuff.

Having now watched the second one from the series I am drooling to get to the rest. This is just an awesome encouragement. When Phillips shows how large our progeny can expand when a vision is passed on and God blesses…whooo hooo! I prayed for Rebecca to be a mother of millions at her graduation. Thankfully none of her extended family fell over right there. Watching this talk, maybe I was holding back to much in my prayer?

This conference will lay down next to and be reinforced by “the church in the house” book and with what Rob and Mark recently opined, not to mention Ovid & Bettie Need from Virginia when they were with us at camp.

Mathew Henry 300 yrs ago, us today, Ovid and Bettie ,the Vision Forum family, this is a huge spread of time, age differences and geography but the unity of purpose is striking.

Tonight we watched number 4 on brothers and sisters. They have all been great.

These are all from the how to disciple your family series.

DVD’s or CD’s
