To counter this potentially debilitating problem we must daily reexamine our priorities. We must be sure that we are daily involved in the process of developing an intimate, personal relationship with Jesus. Second, we must be sure that we do not neglect our relationship with our family. After our relationship with the Father, He has called us to be the best spouse and parent that we can be. A home out of balance results in pressures that prevent us from being the best teacher or administrator we can be.
Quality time spent with our spouse and children in meaningful communication is of utmost importance.
Set aside time for family devotions and use the time around the dinner table to build relationships. We must be able to visualize the importance of the role we play in God s plan to develop children and youth who have a Christ-centered worldview of life and who are spiritually and academically prepared to serve Him. Remember God honors a life that is balanced and in proper focus. No man teaches out of a philosophical vacuum. In one way or another, every teacher expresses the convictions he lives by, whether they be spiritually positive or negative.
