THE IMPORTANCE OF FAMILY

Hello friend,

Years ago, Christian families were close; the parents were best friends, the children got along, and they all would conduct Bible studies together frequently. These days, however, family members rarely see each other. In many households the mom and dad both work, the children are raised by the worldly public school system, and because they are rarely around one another, the family is torn apart. There is a way to mend this, and it’s by putting God at the center. No one should have to be alone, and you don’t have to be. Today I am going to give you a few tips on how to improve your family life.

John 15:12-13 says – “This is my commandment, that ye love one another, as I have loved you. Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” Although having friends aside from your family members is important, we should be more concerned about making our family our friends. A family should be almost insuperable so that nothing can drive them apart. In effort to do this, we should study the Bible with our family. When we make Christ the head of our home, everything else will fall into its correct place. 1 Corinthians 11:3 says – “…The head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.”

If you will make a determined effort to fix the state of your home, I guarantee you will see results. Maybe your family members are always busy, and maybe they have no desire to mend things, thus making you the only one with the determination to do so. All you have to do is show them more attention and show them more love. We all make ourselves too busy; but if we clear our schedule and take the time to talk about God and to show each other love, then I assure you that something good will come out of it. After doing that, if they show no desire to grow in Christ with you, (Like Christian family members should), then it shows that you are unevenly yoked. But, at least you will build character from trying.

Hard times come, and the flesh will always fight us, but if you and your family grow together by reading the Bible, and if you stand strong together in God, then the devil will have no power against you.

God bless,
