Foundation For A Strong Family

We heard a very appropriate message on Mother's Day entitled: "Foundations For A Strong Family".

We were reminded of the saying, "as the family goes, so goes the nation". God has given us commandments to follow. These are to help us, not to hurt us. God answers "No", to accomplish a positive purpose.

How To Build A Strong Family:

Put God First. Exodus 20:3 "You shall have no other gods before Me." A god is anything that dominates or controls our life. It is anything that we give more time to than God.

Five ways to put God first:

F - Finances - Proverbs 3:9-10

I - Interest - In our work, fun, play we should do all to the glory of God
.
R - Relationships - Choose friends wisely. We become like our chosen friends. Proverbs 27:19

S - Schedule - Put God first in our time. Ask Him to help us use time wisely.

T - Trouble - Turn to God first. Psalms 50:15
