We just recently celebrated Mother's Day and Father's Day is just next Sunday. Many people don't even know what a biblical traditional family is anymore.
We have grandparents in their retirement years raising their grandchildren. Some have to for good reasons, but many because the kids want to play adult games(the mild way to state it) but when these circumstances produce an unwanted child they get aborted or given life. But they then pawn that child off on their family members to raise for them so that they can go right back to their game playing. We have men and women living together in fornication raising children. The Bible tells us in Acts 15:20 and I Thessalonians 4:3 to abstain from fornication. We have homes with two moms or with two dads. The Bible tells us that this is very wrong. Leviticus 18:22-23 and Leviticus 20:13
The true family is becoming a thing of the past. Genesis 12:3 tells us that God will bless the family. The Biblical family consist of a father, mother, and their children. The father is the spiritual leader of the family. Genesis 2:24 Man shall leave his mother and father and cleave unto his wife. Genesis 3:16 Man shall rule over the woman. Ephesians 5:25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it. Children need to see that their parents love the Lord and serve Him sincerely. Proverbs 24:3 Through wisdom is an house builded; and by understanding it is established.
God gives the parents wisdom for teaching and training our children. WE DARE NOT LOOK TO THE WORLD FOR IT'S COUNSEL ON HOW TO INSTRUCT AND DISCIPLINE CHILDREN. Proverbs 22:6 gives us guidance on training up our child. Proverbs 13:24 tells us not to spare the rod. The world calls this child abuse. The public schools tell the kids to call 911 is their parents spank them.
As Jesus gave himself for the church that He loves, we are to give ourselves to those we love. Parents are responsible to instruct and correct their children. Proverbs 4:1 Child hear the instruction of the father. |
