What Is A Christian
Family?
Last Sunday, we talked about
the basics of using your Bible. This week--and please don't
forget that it's Mother's Day--we talk about the basics of Christian
family life. Are Christian families different? Should
they be different? And, if so, how are they different?
Unfortunately, the stereotypes
of Christian families often turn people off. In many people's
minds, a Christian family is led by an overly strict father and a
stern-faced mother who dress in old-fashioned clothes and who
terrorize their kids for the slightest infraction. The
children spend all of their free time studying the Bible and
preaching on street corners about sin and judgment and Hell.
Nothing could be further
from the truth!
So what is a Christian family really like?
How should we act and what should we do in order to please God and
to pass on our faith to our children? We invite you to join us
on Sunday as we worship, celebrate, and learn these important truths
from God!
See you Sunday!
Pastor Jack Marslender
