Covenant Children and the Emasculation of the Church, with a Tribute to My Father...

This compelling article explains why discipline must start with our children long before they show signs of saving faith. …Abraham will surely become a great and mighty nation, and in him all the nations of the earth will be blessed… For I have chosen him, so that he may command his children and his household after him to keep the way of the LORD by doing righteousness and justice, so that the LORD may bring upon Abraham what He has spoken about him. (Genesis 18:18,19)
