The Two Great Essential Elements of Family
Marriage – Parenthood
Marriage
Two Incompatible Parts Working Together (Man and Women)
The love between a husband and wife provides a glimpse of Christ’s passionate devotion to us as His bride.
Parenthood
The Highs and Lows of Parenting paint a compelling picture of God’s tenderness and patience toward us as His children.
A Great Basecamp Makeup
Family – Friends
Atmosphere of Faith
Your Friends
Genesis 39:1-2 NLT
“When Joseph was taken to Egypt by the Ishmaelite traders, he was purchased by Potiphar, an Egyptian officer. Potiphar was captain of the guard for Pharaoh, the king of Egypt. The Lord was with Joseph, so he succeeded in everything he did as he served in the home of his Egyptian master.”
Genesis 2:15
Then the Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to tend and keep it.
The Door of Sin Was Opened By Adam’s Passivity
“Tend”
Cultivate – “To Foster the Growth,” or “To Encourage”
“Keep”
To Guard and Preserve
It Starts With The Heart
Proverbs 4:23
Keep your heart with all diligence, For out of it spring the issues of life.
Do As I Say, Not As I Do
1 Timothy 3:1-5
This is a faithful saying: If a man desires the position of a bishop, he desires a good work. 2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, temperate, sober-minded, of good behavior, hospitable, able to teach; 3 not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for money, but gentle, not quarrelsome, not covetous; 4 one who rules his own house well, having his children in submission with all reverence 5 (for if a man does not know how to rule his own house, how will he take care of the church of God?)
Genesis 18:17
17 And the Lord said, “Shall I hide from Abraham what I am doing, 18 since Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him? 19 For I have known him, in order that he may command his children and his household after him, that they keep the way of the Lord, to do righteousness and justice, that the Lord may bring to Abraham what He has spoken to him.”
Ephesians 6:4 TLB
And now a word to you parents. Don’t keep on scolding and nagging your children, making them angry and resentful. Rather, bring them up with the loving discipline the Lord himself approves, with suggestions and godly advice.
What is your compass?
Culture Or Christ?
Proverbs 22:6
Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it.
Proverbs 1:8
“Listen, my son, to your father’s instruction and do not forsake your mother’s teaching.”
