Read: Chapter 2 – Save the Boys
PDF Handout
Deuteronomy 6:4 - Hear, O Israel: The LORD is our God, the LORD alone. Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.
Deuteronomy 1:15 - So I took the leading men of your tribes, wise and respected men, and appointed them to have authority over you—as commanders of thousands, of hundreds, of fifties and of tens and as tribal officials.
Questions for discussion - With the rise of feminism, how have husbands/fathers become the “sixth man” in the story on page 35? (Ps 44:1-4)
- Should we teach our boys that their future wives should follow their lead, or should we teach them to lead? What's the difference? (Dt 1:15, Nu 1:16)
- How did the Industrial Revolution change family life for most people? Most of us aren’t suited to go back to an agrarian society, so what are practical ways can we deal with the changes that the IR brought?
- LESS TIME = LESS INFLUENCE. Error increases with distance. What do these principles mean to us as fathers? How about as husbands? As co-workers and neighbors?
- Ep 6:4 tells us to bring up our children in the training and instruction of the Lord. What are the consequences of being a passive husband or father?
“If our boys are not equipped to lead families, then the families of the next generation will not have leaders.”
“We save our boys by giving them a role model to follow. When our boys have a clear role model, they intuitively know how to function when they assume the responsibility of marriage and parenting. But in this generation, there are too many crippled boys who have no idea what it is to be a man.”
“The choices that you make with your family today will determine the quality of life in your family tree for generations to come.”
