Family Values

As parents, we have the responsibility of nourishing, protecting, and instructing our children. When properly instructed, children are nourished, protected, and equipped to face the difficulties they are sure to encounter in their lives. 

When we draw upon God's Word as our authoritative source of instruction, we instill in our children the biblical values needed to form the firm foundation for proper growth. We are called not only to speak the Word with our mouths but also to live out the Word through our actions. We must demonstrate these important values in both word and deed so that our families can see firsthand how to live them out in practice. They will see with their own eyes that when we serve the Lord, and walk in His ways (Joshua 22:5), we are guided to make the proper choices and decisions in life.

When we speak and walk in the Word, we are nourished, protected, and properly equipped. And we will be nourishing, protecting, and equipping our families and all those around us as God has intended. 

"But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord." (Joshua 24:15).

Father, we thank you for the love, guidance, and instruction we find in the gift of Your Word. May our every thought, word, and deed give You glory each and every moment of each and every day. In Jesus' name we pray, Amen. †
