“The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger” (Jeremiah 7:18 KJV).
What is their family enterprise? (It is devil worship!)
“Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it” (Proverbs 22:6). This verse is non-negotiable, not open for debate or discussion. It says exactly what it means, and it means exactly what it says. Furthermore, we already know it is primarily the father’s responsibility to teach his children the Holy Scriptures. Alas, parents have a tendency to pass their duties onto others. Teachers, coaches, preachers, Sunday School teachers, psychologists, professors, and babysitters are expected to take care of the spiritual needs of these precious children—and even most of these leaders are far too ill-equipped or totally unequipped in sound Bible doctrine themselves (how can they guide others when they themselves must first be taught the basics?).
Our family enterprise as Bible believers is storing sound Bible doctrine in the younger generations. As English-speaking people, this is being educated in the King James Bible rightly divided. No matter what “CULTure” dictates or encourages, there are absolutes—a stark difference between right and wrong. Therefore, we need to endeavor to know, understand, trust, and teach the Holy Bible dispensationally, especially the Books of Romans to Philemon. The Lord Jesus Christ’s life in us is the key to overcoming all this world’s challenges. If we are to have even the slightest hope or prayer of making a difference for God’s glory, we must know about life the way He designed it, and not devise our own schemes (for our sin shall find us out, whether this generation or the tenth!).
“All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works” (2 Timothy 3:16,17). “Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths” (Proverbs 3:5,6).
