Here's a GREAT book  that is called, "Family Man, Family Leader." That book is one of my husband's favorites. It really inspired him to be the father and husband that God wanted him to be. I highly recommend it! :) On that same site there is a section on Biblical Patriarchy, which has MANY materials on this subject.

Here are some other random verses and articles. I know my husband would know more, but this was all I could think of for now.

Genesis 18:19 - "For I have chosen him, so that he will direct his children and his household after him to keep the way of the LORD by doing what is right and just, so that the LORD will bring about for Abraham what he has promised him."

Malachi 4:5-6 "See, I will send you the prophet Elijah before that great and dreadful day of the LORD comes. He will turn the hearts of the fathers to their children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers; or else I will come and strike the land with a curse."6

Deuteronomy 6: 6-9 "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. Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates."987

Psalm 103:13 "As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him."

Colossians 3:21 "Fathers, do not embitter your children, or they will become discouraged."

Again, below is our FAMILY INTEGRATED/MULTI-GENERATIONAL Bible Study Class Announcement. Please consider starting one of your own at your church and feel free to contact my husband, Mark, or me for more information, ideas or information.

Equipping Fathers, Strengthening the Family, Serving the Body, Touching the World

We are starting a family integrated Bible class here at Central.  This is a Bible study class designed to strengthen the family by equipping husbands/fathers to disciple their families.  God has ordained the family as a key place for evangelism.  Our desire is to assist fathers in realizing the importance and the responsibility to teach and train their children in the ways of the Lord (See Malachi 4:5-6; Eph. 6:4). Wives/mothers also have an irreplaceable role to fill (See Psalm 128:3; Titus 2:4-5; Proverbs 31:28). We feel it is important for the children, young and old, to be a part of this Bible study class. This will help in building the foundation for family devotions. Babies, children and teens are HIGHLY ENCOURAGED to attend with their parents!

We invite you to join us as we strive to conform to the biblical model of the family and learn how to truly make disciples, starting in our own homes.

This will be a time for:

Praise and worship and prayer

Psalm 95:1 “Come, let us sing unto the LORD: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation.”

Teaching

1 Timothy 4:13 “Until I come, devote yourself to the public reading of Scripture, to preaching and to teaching.”

Fellowship (eating):

Acts 2:46 “Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts.”
