If you’re a husband and father, you are leading your family in a culture that is screwed up morally and spiritually. So where do you go for guidance? How about the Old Testament? By recording the life and times of the Old Testament kings, God has given us a roadmap to help us pick our way through the rubble of a collapsing society.
Reading the Old Testament can encourage us to take heart. While all that was spiritually and morally good around them was falling apart, there were men of God who did not cave in. Instead, they held their families together. When others were letting popular culture color them, these hearty men of God colored their culture. Old Testament history teaches us that in every age God has his men. Be one of God’s men in this time of increasingly moral and spiritual decay.
