Family is a crazy word today. We seem to have lost its meaning and the depth of its character. In the New Testament Church, church was a surogate family for most of its members. When you became a Christian/Stood up for Jesus Christ, you were cut off from your physical family, your social family, and your economic family. Family was the social institution that kept things alive and growing. It kept the status quo in place. If you were going to go against tradition, it would cost you something.
Today, the church as a family needs to remember that we need to operate as such... a family. Here are a few reminders of how to work well as a family.
1. Great Families Communicate Truth to Each Other in Love
2. Great Families Pray Together
3. Great Families Play Together
4. Great Families Encourage One Another
5. Great Families Share Life Together
6. Great Families Persevere Together
7. Great Families Do It Together!
The list can go on and on... but that is all for tonight.
Church must begin at home or it will never take root in the next generation!
