In this twenty first episode, Pastor Luke continues his discusses of Voddie Baucham’s Four P’s of Family Shepherding. This time he covers the Prophet.

A prophet is a man who represents God before his people through proclamation of his word. A family shepherd is God’s representative to his household, and there is no neutral shepherding. You are either actively leading your family
towards God through his Word, or actively leading them away from God, either directly toward some other false god, or allowing them to wander aimlessly through pure negligence.

Brothers, if we are to speak for God to our families, we have to first know what God’s Word says. But we mustn’t stop there. We must also love and cherish it to the point it is continually on the tips of or tongues. We must then proclaim this truth to our households, and so with gentleness and respect, not lording it over those whom we love and are called to shepherd.

Be a prophet. Yesterday was easy!
