It only takes a few moments to realize there is a lot wrong with this world today. Children are being brought up in a single parent home. Sexually transmitted diseases are continuing to be spread. There are wars being fought everywhere. Drugs are destroying the lives of youth and adults alike.
People are searching for something to fulfill their needs and ambitions without knowing where to look because they have never had someone to show them the way. Why? What must take place to be able to turn this around?
Leadership is a topic taught by many people. You can buy books, magazines, videos on a variety of leadership topics such as how to lead small groups, how to be a leader in a followers world and however many ways I can think of to tie in the laws of leadership. People are looking for someone to follow.
It is time to step up as leaders in our home. We need to realize if our child is going astray then it is time to step it up as a father and mother. First and foremost the parents are the most influential person in their child’s life.
Today I heard a statistic that if a father takes a spiritual step of salvation that 90% of the family will follow their lead. As opposed to just 17% if the only the mother accepts Christ. This statistic alone shows the responsibility that we have as men to be a spiritual role model in the home. We need to pray more often with our children. We have to lead our family in times of devotion. We need to be concerned about what is going on in our families’ lives. We need to step up and start to lead. That way people have something good to follow.
