Men, How’s Your House Doing?

There’s a choice you must make, and Joshua gives that famous response as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.

How’s your house doing? In particular talk to the men. Here it is men and women, but as the head of the household as the Lord arranges it to men, how are you doing? Because you notice this isn’t just, yeah I love Yahweh, this is me and my house, not simply affirming something that is true, but we will serve the Lord. Men how are you doing, getting your family to church, how are you doing praying with them and for them, setting an example with them, leading your family to be involved not only Sunday morning, but in other aspects of the life of the church, Sunday school, Sunday evening, small groups, many other opportunities to get involved. Would your children, men, would they as I read verse 15, would they immediately think, “That’s my dad”, as for me and my house we will serve the Lord.
