| | | The Christian Family - New Website Section
Dr. William Perkins described the family as a "little church", Dr. William Gouge called it the "seminary of the Church and commonwealth..." and Rev. Richard Baxter characterized the home as "a church... a society of Christians combined for the better worshipping and serving God." Rev. Lewis Bayly taught that "what the preacher is in the pulpit, the same the Christian householder is in his house."
I have put together a whole section on the family and will continue to expand it. If anytone has other resources that you can spare and I can post, let me know.
The new section is here: The Christian Family
The Christian Family is a little church, a little government and a little society. It shapes the foundation of the church, and of society itself. Future generations depend on the leadership found in the home, and the values they receive there. http://www.apuritansmind.com/TheChri...lyMainPage.htm |

Thanks, - point me in the direction of more that we could post in that section.
Honestly, I can't believe it took me 5 years to have such a section out on the site. The family is so important!
