If you have not already viewed "Return of the Daughters" I highly recommend that you do so. But, prepare to be challenged. Be prepared to have many of your embedded concepts of humanism and secularism unearthed and dislodged. Be prepared to see how faithful Christian families are saying "yes" to God's plan and "no" to the world's.
This documentary could have just as easily been titled "Return of the Fathers," because the heads-of-households interviewed have fully embraced their roles as trustees for their biblical trustee families.
When families no longer squander the talents, energies, and contributions of their unmarried daughters -- sending them away from the home to pursue "success" -- we will see another milestone accomplished in the rebuilding of our culture to the honor and glory of Jesus Christ. As the film asserts, unmarried daughters serving their fathers by forwarding their fathers' dominion-oriented commitment to press the Crown Rights of Jesus Christ are the Church's secret weapons indeed!

This has been an area where in my 20 plus years of home schooling I have seen too much thinking like the world. I often find young Christian men who want to lead the home in righteousness and not have his wife go out to work but bring up the children and take care of the home, but I don't often find young Christian ladies who want this as their future. Most home schooled young ladies want to get a degree and a career and condition themselves to be just like the world. Not sure what the answers are to these problems but for Biblical Christianity to have a bright future in the West we need to find them.
ReplyDeleteI believe that as Christian families work for the expansion of their influence and dominion, more and more will have useful stories to share (as the Botkin family's).
ReplyDeleteWe need to build families that can STAND!!
