Please pray for our service on Sunday as we consider the crucial role that fathers (and mothers, to be sure) have in God's purpose to sum up all things in Christ (Eph 1:9-10).
Christ's victory has been achieved, no doubt, in his life, death, resurrection, and ascension to the right hand of God. However, God's people take part in the mop-up operation of this progressive triumph (the Great Commission) as we communicate the Good-News of this victory to a sin-fractured world.
This operation begins at home.
Parents, our highest goal in parenting (and to be sure we are mere instruments; this goal can only be effectually achieved by God the Spirit) is to "open their (our children) eyes, so that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith" in the Lord Jesus Christ (Acts 26:18).
