“Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all
the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him? For I know him, that he will
command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the
way of the Lord, to do justice and judgment; that the Lord may bring upon
Abraham that which he hath spoken of him” (Genesis 18:18–19).

Whereas: God associated himself with the patriarchs of old and declared his
renown as the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob;

Whereas: The church of the living God has been built upon His prophets
and apostles (patriarchs all), Jesus Christ, himself, being the chief
cornerstone;

Whereas: The early church fathers, martyrs, reformers, and patriarchs of
America have faithfully run their lap of the Christian faith and passed a godly
heritage to us;

Whereas: God’s Word states, “For I the Lord thy God am a jealous God,
visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth
generation of them that hate me” (Exodus 20:5b).

​

It is not the sins of the mothers, the sins of the church, the sins of the state, and the sins of the
culture that are passed to children. No! It is the sins of the
fathers. Therefore, what we as men say or do not say, what we do or not do,
has more of a direct and profound impact upon our children, humanly
speaking, than any other influence in the world.

Whereas: God never calls the orphan the motherless, the churchless, or the
stateless. It is always the “fatherless.”

Whereas: It is God’s will to turn the fathers’ hearts to their children and the
children’s hearts to their fathers, lest the curse on our nation increase
(Malachi 4:5, 6; Luke 1:17);

Whereas: The majority of scriptures on child rearing are addressed to
fathers and not to mothers, church, or state;

Whereas: Our culture, state, and even large segments of the church have
devalued the importance of having children for the glory of God and the
advancement of His kingdom (Psalm 127:3-5; Malachi 2:15; and Matthew
19:14);

​

Whereas: God never ordained the church or state to educate our children
and has reserved that privilege and responsibility for parents (Deuteronomy
6:4-9, 32:46, 47);

Whereas: The book of wisdom, Proverbs, is written from the perspective of
a kingly father faithfully passing on a scepter of righteousness, wisdom,
knowledge, and understanding to his children;

Whereas: The church has failed in recent years to train men in their
responsibilities as men, husbands, fathers, and leaders;

Whereas: The American culture has been taken captive by feminism and a
man-hating spirit that has spawned subsequent evils, such as, birth control,
abortion, sexual immorality, homosexuality, transgenderism, no fault
divorce, pornography etc.;

Whereas: The American entertainment industry ridicules men in general,
and fathers specifically;

Be It Therefore Highly Resolved:

 

By the grace of God, the truth of God’s
Word, and power of the Holy Ghost to return to my role, responsibility, and
place in God’s kingdom as a man, husband, and father.

 

I pledge before God to reclaim the virtue of biblical patriarchy with all its duties, obligations, and benefits.

 

I promise to discharge faithfully these duties and courageously lead
my family with the Word of God. I expect God to watch over his Word and
my obedience to raise up through my loins children who will become mighty
in the land and possess the gates of their enemies.
