| A United Family By Billy Graham “All your children shall be taught by the Lord, And great shall be the peace of your children.” —Isaiah 54:13, NKJV The family is the basic unit of society. But from the very beginning, since man sinned against God, the family has been in trouble. The first crime we read about in the Bible occurred when Cain killed his brother, Abel. Instead of love, family life all too often became marked by conflict and tension. For best results in marriage and building a stable home, follow the instructions of the One who performed the first wedding in the garden of Eden. Those instructions are in the Bible. The reason the family is in critical condition today is that we have neglected His rules for a successful home. We have put self in place of sacrifice. We have valued things more than we have valued people. You can have the right kind of home. Your home can be united if it is now divided. The place to begin is on your knees, asking Christ for forgiveness and then asking God to give you a new love for each other—and for Him. Don’t let your family drift apart, but with God’s help resist the pressures and come together around the Cross.  Hope for TodayThe greatest commandments apply to the family as a whole just as they do to an individual believer. Love the Lord with all your might and your neighbor (spouse/child) as yourself. Families could be healed if we went back to the basics. | ||
