What Strong Families Have in Common Part 5

What Strong Families Have in Common Part 5

Strong Families Have a Strong Sense of Our Lord
There’s no way to have a truly successful family w/out giving God first place. And we have to convey it to our children. Kids watch carefully…what we’re like at church, and at home.

A study once disclosed that if both Mom and Dad attend church regularly, 72% of their children remain faithful. If only Dad, 55% remain faithful. If only Mom, 15%. If neither attended regularly, only 6% remain faithful. The statistics speak for themselves--the example of parents and adults is more important than all the efforts of the church and Sunday school.

A little boy was staying overnight in backyard in a tent. His his day had listened to them talk… “My daddy knows the mayor!”/ “governor!”/ the first boy said, then he heard the voice of his own little boy say,

“that’s nothing’, my daddy knows God!” (Top that!) The other boys said, he does not! “Does too!”

How do you know? “I heard him talking’ to him just this morning!

There’s nothing greater our children can think of then that we know God.

Joshua 24:15
But if serving the LORD seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD.
