THE PIONEERING SPIRIT (TRAIL BLAZING THE TRUTH) - 3

How will America fare in the future if all our pioneering is purely natural? Will we not endanger our morals and ethics by inventions that contradict God's morals?

One of the truths that needs pioneering is The Family Altar where families, at the end of their main meals of the day, share God's Word and discuss together what they have read. This is more important than most people realize for it feeds the inner man (the spirit). America, generally speaking, has a well fed outer man. But the inner man is barely alive because it is starved most days of the week.

Feeding the inner man through the use of The Family Altar (Family Devotions, or whatever you like to call it) throughout the week works miracles for the inner man. This in turn, also blesses the outer man. The big question is: who will pioneer this great truth in their families?

Pioneering in the spiritual realm keeps in check the pioneering in the natural realm. Man must order his life in the fear of God. Much of the world has been deceived by the pioneers of humanism, atheism, communism (progressivism) and all false religions. Pioneering outside of God's fear and truth can be dangerous to mankind, and even to the planet. The only way to counter the false is to keep pioneering the truth.

We must not view Family Devotions as "old hat" or Victorian. We must not see them as a drag or a hindrance to our busy lifestyle. We fathers must at all cost, raise up our families to be TRAIL BLAZERS OF TRUTH in all aspects of life.

Be encouraged.
