From Whom All Fatherhood Is Named
Although it runs against the tide of the culture, we must return to God's design, plan and ideal for fatherhood. It is not a bygone cultural relic. It is God's order in the world. So, if you father was not a good father, honor him anyway as Luther instructs. Where your father did well and showed in his life the character of God, thank him and praise God for him. Where fathers are maligned, we must stand up for them. Where we who are fathers fail to lead and fall into sin, we must repent for the way we have maligned the Father's good name. And God the Father, who loves us and sent His Son for us also forgives us, and pulls us together in His family.

Project Boaz: Christian Men and Pro-Life Advocacy
Project Boaz is my vision for how the Christian men of America can end abortion on demand in this country in half a generation. And this without reversing Roe v. Wade or getting the approval of women! That’s right, I have a plan. It’s ambitious, but it is really quite basic: call Christian men in America to be men like Boaz--men of principle, men of character, men of action, and men who are known to be reliable.

What Do People Read the Most?
Why Get Married?
“God instituted marriage before all other estates, and therefore created man and woman … that they should live together, be fruitful, beget children, and nourish and train them to the honor of God.” (Martin Luther, Large Catechism, 1529) Why Submit?“Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his own body, of which he is the Savior.” (Ephesians 5:22) Why Love?“Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word.” (Ephesians 5:25) Why Serve the LORD?“You know with all your heart and soul that not one of all the good promises the LORD your God gave you has failed. Every promise has been fulfilled; not one has failed. ... As for me and my household, we will serve the LORD.” (Joshua 23:14b, 24:15b)
