Title: Let's Dream of a Good Family
Let's dream of a good family (Joshua 24:14-18)
The goal of our Seomun Church is “Glory to God and happiness to neighbors.” And the goal for 2012, which marks the 100th anniversary, is “Preface, rise up and shine.” To this end, today, I would like to give a speech under the title “Let’s dream of a good family. 1) The family is a model of heaven. That's why it's called a 'little paradise'. 2) The family is the model of the early church. The early church in Jerusalem began in the upper room and home of John Mark (Matthew 26:18, Acts 1:13). Christian psychologist Jack Balswick divided today's assumptions into three types. ① The traditional family of patriarchal and legalistic. Although there is a strict order, there is a disadvantage that individual freedom is not respected. ② A modern home that is self-centered and lacks authority. ③ A biblical family where the whole family respects and loves each other under God's rule. We want our home to be a biblical home.
Today I would like to present some concrete ways to help you achieve your family's goals. First, pray. Second, thank you. Third is dedication. Fourth, dialogue. Fifth, meeting. Sixth, patience. Seventh, it is a blessing. When we have these things, our family can achieve goals and be happy. Tolstoy said, "If you can't find happiness at home, you can't find it anywhere in the world." There is no dream or goal to achieve until you give up your home and family. So, the first thing God created before the church is the “family”. Because if the family is healthy, the church, business, and country will prosper and there is hope. Your family that God created and blessed the earth to be abundant and prosperous. I pray that this blessing may come true as you set holy goals and run together with your whole family.
