We need protection from the ways of the world, need to be set apart, safe in our Christian homes. Children must be taught to obey their parents and follow rules. Attitudes need to change about material possessions, and to use them to serve the Lord. Obedience to parents is part of a child's obligation to Christ. Daily devotions are a good source of teaching and a way to grow closer as a family.
Prayer is the way to solve problems and to bridge gaps.
Make God a welcome guest in your home, and He will become part of your family. As the Christian home grows and strengthens, family members will seek salvation sooner and the Christian life will become their way. They too will begin to thirst for the peace, joy, love and harmony. And will enjoy all the fruits of the Spirit that being saved brings. These are the good gifts of life.
