THE MEMBERS OF A FAMILY CAN TEACH EACH OTHER ABOUT GOD
Deuteronomy 6:4-9 (NIV) 4 Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one. 5 Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. 6 These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. 7 Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. 8 Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. 9 Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates.
DO NOT LET SIN AFFECT YOUR FAMILY LIFE
Psalm 101:2 (NLT) I will be careful to live a blameless life— when will you come to help me? I will lead a life of integrity in my own home.
CHRISTIAN FAITH IS OF GREATER IMPORTANCE THAN FAMILY
Luke 12:51-53 (NLT) 51 Do you think I have come to bring peace to the earth? No, I have come to divide people against each other! 52 From now on families will be split apart, three in favor of me, and two against—or two in favor and three against. 53 ‘Father will be divided against son and son against father; mother against daughter and daughter against mother; and mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.’”
CHRISTIANS ARE MEMBERS OF GOD’S FAMILY
Ephesians 2:19 (NLT) So now you Gentiles are no longer strangers and foreigners. You are citizens along with all of God’s holy people. You are members of God’s family.
FAMILIES SHOULD TAKE CARE OF EACH OTHER
1 Timothy 3:4-5 (NLT) 4 He must manage his own family well, having children who respect and obey him. 5 For if a man cannot manage his own household, how can he take care of God’s church?
