Kevin Swanson addresses Tim Challies' posting on the recent documentary, “Divided.” Is this really a “destructive message wrapped in a poorly-made documentary?” Do the traditions of men EVER displace God's laws in the mind of any Christian in America or Canada?

“ Great Sermon! ” Amen! The segregation of family by youth groups IS happening.
We did not have our children in these groups. We saw the kids that were in them come to dislike being with family on weekends, or for family activities. The teens would draw away from siblings as well, because they are taught to enjoy the youth but not the family or elders!
The fathers are allowing this! The church takes advantage of the situation to ADD a Program and look like a church that is DOING GOD's Work!, instead of taking advantage of teaching the fathers to be the Spiritual Leaders of the home!

These pastors will NOT take the father's place and the father's honor and glory in it.
Titus 2 is the pattern to follow!
