Responsibility of Family
"Now therefore, let it please You to bless the house of Your servant, that it may continue before You forever; for You, O Lord God, have spoken it, and with Your blessing let the house of Your servant be blessed forever.” — 2 Samuel 7:29
Apart from religious influence, the family is the most important unit of society. It would be good if every home were Christian, but we know that’s not so. The family and the home can never exert their proper influence while ignoring the biblical standard. The Bible calls for discipline and a recognition of authority. If children don’t learn this at home, they will go out into society without the proper attitude toward authority and law. There’s always the exception to the rule, but most children are what the home has made them. The only way to provide the right home for your children is to put the Lord above them, and fully instruct them in the ways of the Lord. As parents, we are responsible before God for the home we provide for our children.
