Read Joshua 24:15 – But if serving the LORD seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your forefathers served beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD.
No one can choose who another person will serve or where they will put their faith. But in the home, the father has to take the lead in what to believe. Joshua made it very clear that he and his family would serve the Lord. His children may wander off from that faith in later years, but while under his care and covering they would serve the Lord as a family. This is not being imposing or forceful, it is acting in leadership! It is not overbearing for a dad to take the lead in faith; it is obedience to the Word. God give us dads who declare, "As for me and my family we are going to serve the Lord!”
