Family

I have lived long enough to know that talk is cheap. From politicians to preachers, many words can flow from the mouth without ever resulting in meaningful action. My mom taught me early on that actions speak louder than words. So we are spending a few days considering the premier parenting passage in Scripture.

While Christian parents know what’s at stake, we also know that the culture subtly rubs off on our children. So how can we protect and guard our homes? How can we stay family strong?

When we trust in Jesus, the old is gone; the new has come. We are forgiven of our past and adopted into the eternal King’s family. The Holy Spirit empowers us to live a life of obedience. Our position in Christ gives us significance, security, and acceptance. We do not have to follow the instincts of our old lives.  

As God’s child, my sins are paid for by Jesus, the Spirit of sonship lives in me, and I can call (this is unbelievable) the Creator of the Universe, “Daddy, Father”!

Thank God that grace is never fair.

God wants to use you to accomplish his work! Don't sit still or remain silent.

God reminds us that the battle is not ours to fight. He will be the One fighting for us.

What things do you request from God to effectively lead the people he has placed in your life? 

When God is all you have, God is all you need.
