What happens to a church that is devoted to the Word of God?

Kevin Swanson explains in this video that embracing the world is failing our churches and families. If the church compromises and mirrors the way the world does things, the church, families, and society will be corrupted. The Word of God must be brought to bear in all areas of life. Faithfulness to God’s Word benefits and strengths the church, families, and society. Yet, the often church decides that God’s Word is not sufficient.

If you walk in God’s ways, He will bless you. Even though there are detractors to living according to Scripture, we are still called to be faithful to the commands of God. If a church is governed by the Word of God, families and future families will be blessed. For instance, sons will have a vision to disciple their children for God just as they saw their father and other men within the church do.

2 Corinthians 5:9-10 (NKJV) – “Therefore we make it our aim, whether present or absent, to be well pleasing to Him. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.”

The future is incredibly bright. God is at work. God is opening up the floodgates of blessing upon us, our families, our churches. I'm seeing it everywhere. They're having children.

You walk into a church, a family-integrated church, you got 300 people and 227 children. They've got the vision. They've got a generational kingdom vision, a desire to disciple their children for God. We're going to have sons standing on the shoulders of fathers, which means we're going to see an increase in the quality of strength for the Kingdom work. We're going to see generational leverage for the sake of the Kingdom of God as the years go by.

This is exciting stuff. In other words, the other side isn't having children. They're losing 80% of them. They're failing. But if we can capture God's vision for generational continuity, I think we're gonna see tremendous tremendous leadership for families and churches in the future.

We're gonna see our young men growing up getting involved with vision and direction and life versus the world where 70% of young men aren't growing up by 30 years of age, up from 30% in 1970 according to Newsweek magazine. The world is failing. And if the Christian Church is going to compromise with the way the world does things. They're going to continue to see their families break down and dysfunctionality rule in the family which is happening in society. If you want to drag that into the church, well go ahead.

Ruin your church and ruin your society and your civilization at the same time. I'm sorry, we're not playing that game. We're building society. We're gonna build the kingdom of God. We're gonna bring the word of God to bear in all areas of life, specifically in family, in discipleship, in marriage, in heading households, in family law.

We're gonna bring these things in and we're going to apply these things. And as it turns out if you walk in God's ways he will bless you. Oh, we have detractors right now, sure we have detractors. People are poo pooing what we're doing, I get that all the time, constantly. But I say hey just wait 20, 30 years we'll see what your fruit is, we'll see what our fruit is, We'll see what happens in 30 years.

We'll eat the vegetables and we'll do something different. We won't play the way the world plays in terms of the education of these young men, the discipleship of these young men. You can have your wonderful, sumptuous meals. You can have your youth groups. You can have your Sunday schools and your programs and things.

We're going to go eat vegetables for 20, 30 years. We'll see what happens. You only get one shot at how you're going to run your ministry and how you're going to try to disciple the nations. If you do it poorly, you'll have a bunch of wood hay and stubble in the end when the fire burns. But if you do it rightly, if you do it according to the Word of God, you're going to have some gold, silver, and precious stones, and we'll give God the glory for it.
