1 Samuel 19:8-20:42; Isaiah 60:1-22; Romans 5:12-21


Unless the Lord builds the house, They labour in vain who
build it. Psalm 127:1, NKJV


The companionship of one man and one woman for life is God’s
primary purpose for marriage. His secondary purpose is His
desire for marriage to produce a godly next generation—not just
children. A Christian family is not a household of Christians, but a
Christian household. If Christ and His Word are not at the centre
of family life and all home affairs, that home cannot be called a
true Christian home. The vital focus of every Christian household
must be the glory of God! —W. A. H.


The greatest benefits God has conferred on human life,
fatherhood, motherhood, childhood, home, become the
greatest curse if Jesus Christ is not the head. —Oswald Chambers
