How does a Christian family cultivate wisdom and repentance within the home?

Kevin Swanson explains in this video that pastors need to encourage fathers and mothers to go back to the foundations and to teach their children that the beginning of wisdom is the fear of God. One of the biggest problems today is that few people fear God. 

This is where the Christian family needs to look to. We need the fear of God. It is the beginning of salvation, of knowledge, and to understand what it is to be a man or woman of God. It can get easy to get caught up in trivial matters. Fathers must lead the way and set an example of looking to Scripture and fearing God.

Proverbs 1:7 (NKJV) – “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction.”

The problem that needs to be dealt with is first and foremost the absence of the fear of God. A man who fears the Lord, His seed will be mighty in the earth. All the promises we see in Psalm 112 and Psalm 128 are rooted in the man who fears God. So the encouragement to a husband, a wife, that make up a typical American family today is to go back to the beginnings, the foundations, and that is the beginning of wisdom is the fear of God. That's where the family begins.

That's where the Christian family begins. We begin with an outlook that involves the fear of God, it is the beginning of the salvation of that home. It's the beginning of knowledge and wisdom. It's the beginning of what it is to be a man of God. It's the beginning of what it is to be a woman of God.

We need to see something of the fear of God, a reverence for God, a desire for the worship of God in these homes, first and foremost. I think oftentimes we look towards the tertiary things. What are you doing? What are you not doing in relation to me, in relation to the kids? That's not the fundamental problem.

The fundamental issue is we need the fear of God as the beginning of wisdom in this home. And I need to be the one who fears God first. You
