I bolded a few words because I believe he, or any pastor, still needs to put his own family ahead of the church congregation. They are his main charge.

Amen! All too often the last house a minister teaches the gospel to is his own. This ought not to be. Noah built for his family first, and then offered space for others. Paul said a man not found supplying such care to his family is disqualified from being a leader in the Church (1Ti 3:4-5).
To often the popularity of a preacher is measured by the way in which they deliver a sermon to a crowd. Paul disagreed. He taught that a true man of God is determined first by how well they teach their own home. Imagine the revival America would have if all the apostolic men went home and taught….
