This site serves as a blog for my pastoral ministry which includes commentary on culture, random topics related to Biblical studies, pastoral ministry, and Christianity in general. The site also serves as an unofficial virtual office for my seminary students and other friends. The goal is to provide encouragement to saints and direction to sinners and seekers.

part 8, Notes from the book Point Man: How a Man Can Lead His Family, by Steve Farrar



In the last chapter of “Point Man,” Farrar writes, “If you know Jesus Christ personally, you have not only a rock, but a role model.” (256). And the takeaway from that is this: even if your dad was not solid, and even if he was not a good model Christian for you, if you know Jesus as your Savior, you DO have a model to follow.
Farrar admits for us, “It’s a Herculean task to lead a family,” but, he adds, “with the power of God supporting you, it is a tremendous privilege.” (258). You can count on God’s support and power and wisdom if you’re willing to be the point man in your family. He is, after all, Immanuel.
