| "God setteth the solitary in families: he bringeth out those which are bound with chains: but the rebellious dwell in a dry land." Psalm 68:6 There is nothing arbitrary about the Lord's determination to make the family the basic unit to protect, educate, and fulfill the solitary of this world. Others may abandon the family unit in favor of some broader social organization or even the concept of total independence of individual, but God knew and knows what He is doing. And when He determined to establish the family as the structure for the nurture and growth and fulfillment of souls, He created a workable and functional pattern to assist and encourage the welfare of His world. Christians must invest effort and time in the strengthening of the family. We are in the world butnt of it. Family is assailed in our modern culture, and preserving its significance and worth becomes more and more difficult. Christians need purposely to employ every means to keep the family strong and to use it to bring up children and preserve one another in faith. Ask God to help you to build your family on the foundation of His will and Word with Christ Jesus as the cornerstone. God Bless You. <J><E><S><U><S>< <S><A><V><E><S>< |
