Good Management of the Family and Raising Children in Obedience as a Prerequisite for Christian Ministry (1 Tim 3:4)

Summary/Abstract: This article deals with the spiritual responsibilities and biblical principles of God’s workers regarding the good management of their households as a pre-condition for doing God’s ministry. The author points out the negative examples of God’s people whose philosophy of raising children is something to avoid. However, the reader will also be exposed to positive examples of biblical upbringing that should be followed and applied. Biblical pedagogy is unavoidable. God’s spiritual/training scale is set high for all those who want to engage in his work. Therefore, the task of this article is to highlight God’s standard and suggest solutions to God’s workers, regardless of who they are, in order to avoid family failure and the fall “… into disgrace and into the devil’s trap” (1 Tim 3:7).
