How to Lead Your Family to the Word

As with many parents, God gave Mark and Alice Wilkes a vision for their family. The vision was that their family was to represent Christ! Excitedly, they put their goal in writing. The couple with their children determined to take responsibility for their God-given roles. What happened next?

What father hasn't been inspired by the family portrait shown in chapter 6 of Deuteronomy? Under this high bar of “teaching diligently,” Mark Wilkes came to see his need for seeking Christ diligently himself. Rather than a checklist to perform, he saw that he had relationships to develop.

Your sons (and your daughters!) are watching. Do they see in your marriage a picture of Christ and His Bride, the Church? Mark Wilkes encourages us to seriously ask ourselves if we are living in an understanding of the sacrifice the Lord has made for us. It can be a tough question!

Perhaps you wish you could change people. In this message, Mark Wilkes shares how he had this same desire!
