'Good Fathers Esteem And Protect Their Daughters.'
Genesis 34:1-3.
a) Genesis 34:1. This was Dinah's honourable intention. She wanted to visit the women of the land.
b) Genesis 34:2. Shechem, the son of a provincial ruler, did evil to her.
c) Genesis 34:3. Shechem's heart was not right.
(This QT reminds me that Good Fathers Esteem And Protect Their Daughters, Dinah was not properly protected.)
PRAY: For lovely and good families to be in your Church and Community.

'They Do Not Know God.'
1 John 4:8.
a) Anyone who does not love
b) Does not know God,
c) For God is love.
(Through this Second one I understand that They Do Not Know God)
PRAY: For Love to be a major part of the life of your Church.

In several Nations there are now specific ministries that reach out to the fathers in the Churches. This is a very positive idea and quite an effective ministry. When Church families are in good condition, it means that in some way, they are experiencing the Blessing of the Lord. One of the most effective witnesses of the Lord in the Church is the family witness. Unchurched families are more likely to come to Church if they can see wholesome families in the Church.
