Family

"I lay the sins of the parents upon their children; the entire family is affected-even children in the third and fourth generations of those who reject me. But I lavish unfailing love for a thousand generations on those who love me and obey my commands." (Exodus 20:5b-6) NLT

To know that my sin WILL affect my childrens, childrens, children causes me to shudder. We must realize the importance of our actions knowing that they not only affect us but future generations.

"He must manage his own family well, having children who respect and obey him. For if a man cannot manage his own household, how can he take care of God's church." (I. Timothy 3:4-5)

God places so much emphasis on the family that he places it even before ministry in His church. If we have no "ministry" at home we have no ministry!
