Godly Home Series • 2003

As announced, the “Godly Home Series” was preached again in January 2003. We had some difficulty getting settled on where to have the meetings because of construction delays in North Carolina, but finally decided to host them at Charity Christian Fellowship in Pennsylvania.

Four hundred earnest souls gathered for ten days to seek the Lord for a blessing and a changed heart. My heart fills with gratitude as I look back on those days together. We had ten days of sitting together in heavenly places. Those days were filled with fastings, earnest seasons of prayer, and many times of weeping. We all stood in awe as we watched the Lord give the “Godly Home Series” again. It seemed as though the Lord had gathered all of us together to do the series again. I was stretched to my limits with 28 sermons to preach in ten days, but God gave me His abundant grace.

As I reflect on the new series, my heart is filled with a deep peace because I have done what the Lord said to do. The messages are so much more balanced. The standard was lifted high, yet God filled the words with grace and faith to obey them. There is so much more solid content, with many more years of experience to share from. As I pondered doing the series again, one of my deepest burdens centered on the issue of discipline. I felt as though many of the parents were leaning far too heavily on the use of the rod to bring order to their homes, and not giving time for close meaningful relationships. My son Daniel is home on furlough from Africa, so we asked him to give a second-generation perspective to the series as a concluding message. This makes 29 solid messages to establish a godly seed to the glory of God. We have listed below the titles to each of these messages.
