with his brother Ken is to share with people how Jesus Christ can help train the believers of tomorrow. In this regard, Steve points out that the most important thing is to leave an eternal and valuable spiritual legacy: love for the Creator and Savior and His infallible Word. Contamination comes in many forms, but perhaps the saddest aspect is that much of institutional Christianity has compromised the Word of God, particularly concerning the doctrine of creation. Genesis (especially the first 11 chapters) is foundational to all Christian doctrine. I repeat: If generations are trained to disbelieve the Book of Genesis as literal history, and to embrace man’s fallible ideas concerning evolution and an earth that is millions of years old, they are put on a slippery slide of unbelief through the rest of the Bible. In his book “Raising Godly Children in an Ungodly World,” Ken and Steve Ham address issues such as: If All We Had Was the Word, The Theologian in Each of Us, Godly Generations, God Has No Grandchildren, Diligent Dads, Creating the Environment of Sanctification, Welcome to the War, Submission, Discipline and Nutrition, The Family Fortress, and The Revelation of a Legacy. Based on Genesis, Steve and Ken develop a practical biblical message for everyday life that leads
One of the greatest travesties in our society today is that many fathers are not transmitting to the next generation the knowledge of God and His commands from the Word. What is even sadder is that most fathers do not seem know how to do this. They do not know what it means to be the spiritual head of the house. It appears that the fathers of the past did not transmit this knowledge to the present generation and now we have a generation of fathers that has very little, if any, understanding of what the family is all about.
to the Lord. We have an unquestioned responsibility to stand up and condemn error that is contrary to God’s Word. This is very important in a world that has adopted a mindset that goes against truth and interferes with three additional aspects of building a legacy and raising godly children: submission, discipline, and nutrition. The biblical model for submission, discipline, and nutrition is our fundamental defense against the culture of this world. That is important, because the Christian family is also under attack by a crafty and powerful philosophy that has permeated the very fabric of our society.
