5 Lessons on Family from Puritans

Pastoring Your Family and the Puritans – Winfield Bevins from Acts 29 Network on Vimeo.

Winfield cites the great evangelist George Whitefield who said, “A man ought to look upon himself as obliged to [his family] act in three capacities:

  • As a prophet, to instruct:
  • As a priest, to pray for and with;
  • As a king, to govern, direct, and provide for them.
