More and more homes are facing challenges, but the foundation of a strong society starts with strong families. As believers in Jesus Christ, we have an opportunity and responsibility to build healthy homes that reflect His teachings.
- To build a Godly home, represent Jesus in everything you say and do. Be a representative of Him to your family and the world through your words and actions.
- Husbands, love your wives sacrificially and don’t make it hard for them to honor you. Wives, respect your husbands and don’t make it hard for them to love you.
- Parents, make expectations clear and give opportunities for children to think for themselves. Children, don’t make it hard for your parents by obeying willingly.
- Give unconditional encouragement. Look for opportunities to build each other up without conditions. Start by having engaging conversations around the dinner table.
Though our homes face challenges, we can apply God’s wisdom and principles to heal, restore and build homes where we want to be. The battle for our families ultimately belongs to the Lord, so let’s put our hope and trust in Him.
