The biblical model of the home is practically nonexistant.There is very little teaching out there for young people so I am glad to see you and Miles stepping out.Im trying to train my daughters differently by keeping them home till they are ready to marry.I'm also going to take an active part in helping them pick the right husband if they decide to marry.My prayer is that they will decide not to marry. Anyhow I found this documentary that is in production that I thought I would share with you.There is actually alot of new teaching out there for young people.These young girls want to stay home which I think is great if they are able to.Im trying to get back home myself,Lord willing.But anyhow here it is: visionarydaughters.com/return-of-the-daughters/

The home is one of my favorite topics to hear about.

Why are you praying that your daughters don't marry?

Miles
1 Corinthians 7:8 (King James Version) I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, it is good for them if they abide even as I.
It's much better not to marry.For young women the issue is if you want kids or not, atleast it was for me.For men that's not an issue as far as kids are concerned because you can get married when you get older and still have kids.Women though have to decide whether or not they are going to have children.You don't want to wait till your say in your 30's to have kids. You also should not just look at what your missing but what your gaining.If your not going to marry serve the Lord to the best of your ability and you will be blessed in other ways you could not if you were to marry.I would encourage my girls to read about women missionaries who chose not to marry and see all of the benifits they reaped because of it. Serving the Lord without any hindrance is a wonderful thing!Thier are positives and negatives either way you go but choosing not to marry IF YOU CAN in my opinion is definately better!

Great pasts Rebecca! I have six daughters, unfortunately one is out in the world in her sin. I hope to raise these five with these biblical understandings. I pray for their future without or with a husband, salvation being my focus for all my children. I was very touched by the love flowing from these writings and videos. I am praying the Lord would continue to break my heart for my children. Please pray for my oldest that she would repent and come home. She is in grave spritual and physical danger, tears dropping on my lap as I type.....

John,
I will be in prayer for your daughter. I have an unsaved sister as well. When it comes to daughters and their fathers it’s all about their hearts! I know this applies to men as well but the language of love is different in some ways. My father was far from perfect. I was forsaken most of my life by both parents. We dwelled together but had absolutely no relationship any more than you would have with someone in the work place. It was so bad at one time a fellow brother who knew nothing of my problem and didn’t even know me prophesied over me and said the Lord was going to take me up according to Psalm 27:10 and He did!
Psalm 27:10 When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up.
What helped for me though was to try to understand my father. I write to my father all of the time. I learned that when he was growing up he was also forsaken. He was placed in a catholic boarding school and was raised by nuns.He told me one time he jumped off a train to try and come home and broke his leg. When he got home his parents put him right back on the train again.
We learn from our parents and pass it on to our children unless God corrects the problem. It’s important to have communication with your daughter. I wouldn’t preach to her right away but show her Christ by just loving her and eventually the doors will open up where you can share Christ with her. Write her a letter letting her know how much you love her, admit any mistakes and just let her know you want to have a better relationship with her. It’s very important to be open with her. It won’t be easy but you will see an instant change in her behavior towards you. Her heart will begin to open up and you will need to show her alot of love. Eventually she will form a bond with you but this takes time because she may be hurting in some way you may not have even been aware of!
When it comes to daughters if they know their father loves them and they are loved by God nothing else matters to them. It’s like the father is the knot tied to the daughter with Christ as the anchor. I can’t say a daughter would not run off but she would be a whole lot less likely!
