... influence will strengthen every other institution. When the Family is weakened, the affects will be felt in every area of life. That is why Satan is trying so hard to weaken and destroy the family.

Our times call for renewed commitment to the family's integrity. A strong family consists of the sacredness of marriage between one man and one woman.

"And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam and he slept; and He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place. Then the rib which the Lord God had taken from man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man."   And Adam said: "This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man."  Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife and they shall become one flesh"  Genesis 2:21-24

Marriage is about Love. 

 "Wives, submit to your husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body. Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything. Husbands love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her,"  Ephesians 5:22-25

A strong family consists of parental responsibility to children especially spiritual training. 

Proverbs 22:6, says "Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it," And in Deuteronomy 6:6-7 "And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up."

A strong family consists of a loving concern for older family members. 

Genesis 45:9-11 says, "Hurry and go up to my father, and say to him, Thus says your son Joseph; "God has made me lord of all Egypt; come down to me, do not tarry. You shall dwell in the land of Goshen, and you shall be near to me, you and your children, your children's children, your flocks and your herds, and all that you have. There I will provide for you, lest you and your household, and  all that you have, come to poverty; for there are still five years of famine." 'Joseph took care of his father in his old age. So, in these last days, we as Christians must keep a Biblical world view of the family and do our part to prevent Satan from destroying the family and our Nation from within.

We must keep our own families and homes full of love, joy, and godliness. We do this by inviting Jesus into our own hearts and into our homes.
