We continue in Paul’s application of the doctrine of the church to the various relationships we have as believers in this world. Now we come to the important duties of covenant nurture in the Christian home. Paul addresses fathers here because of the headship they hold in the home. This is a much-needed exhortation and it is intended to be an encouragement not only for parents but for all of us as we share together in the discipline and instruction of the Lord. The text is Ephesians 6:4.
