Title: Love your family (1 Timothy 5:8)
Contents
From the second half of this week, it becomes the month of May. In May, there are many family-related events and festivals. That's why May is called Family Month. Planning and declaring this sermon even a few days before the month of May like this is a consideration to make people think ahead of other families in the world about how to prepare for May and how to spend it. Through today's words, I hope that May can be thoroughly planned and lived as a family month.
Most of the films made in Hollywood, the world's film mecca, always have family love in them.
No matter how successful you are, no matter how famous you are, it is difficult to live a happy life if you cannot share love with your family and be at peace with your family. The most important thing in life in this world to prioritize and value is love for your family. When God created the world and made humans live in it, God created the family first, not the school, the church, or the National Assembly. The first priority for God was the family. Whoever wastes all his time and money on success, leaving behind a healthy family, will surely regret it. Most modern tragedies are caused by valuing one's knowledge, career, and success as more valuable than family.
While we have been through an industrial society, the economy has grown and the success of individuals has achieved remarkable growth, but in the shadow of that, the family community is horribly collapsing. At least we thought that our Korean society was stable as a family, but as social and spiritual values are shaken through industrialization and economic development, the divorce rate is the highest in the world, the suicide rate is the highest in the world, the youth crime rate is the highest in the world, the sex crime rate is the highest in the world, and the elder abuse rate is also the world's highest. Best of all, our families and homes have changed so much. This is the result of being caught up in selfishness and materialism and pursuing only them. Now, the home must not be ruined any more. No more neglecting the family.
Loving your family is really valuable. Happiness in life depends on love, and the first thing in the family is to love each other deeply. The word "love" is not a hot topic that is only used in dramas, it is an important word that we as a couple should say without hesitation. Our saints, don't make Goose Daddy. Don't make goose mothers either. Even if you send your children to study abroad when they can study on their own, you should send them. Children can feel secure when they see and feel that their parents love each other deeply. Families should spend a lot of time together. If possible, families should live together. Sharing life together and sharing the future together is a real family.
As Theodor M Hasberg said, "The most important thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother." You must be considerate and respectful of your spouse. When it comes to love, no matter what others say, my man and my woman are bound to look the best and prettiest. Have fun with your spouse! Make your spouse laugh!
Family harmony has little to do with having more or less money. Sending and receiving warm words is even more important. Although it is natural and easy to do, in reality, there is a lot of anger, strife, and conflict in the homes of ordinary people. There are many intergenerational conflicts felt between parents and children, and marital conflicts felt between husband and wife. The most important of these is marital conflict. There are many couples who divorce because of personality differences. Occasionally, there are people who suffer from differences in faith in their families. Some even fight for years with coma. Why does the situation change 180 degrees before a couple who said they couldn't live together even if they died before marriage said they couldn't live together even if they died a few years later? Is it because I don't have money? Could it be that I am worse than others? no. Because he has no sense of humor and has no sense of humor. Because of a single word mistake.

A couple who were visiting their parents' house started arguing while getting in the car.
We barely put up with each other's feelings of sadness in front of our parents, and when we got into a car that was just the two of us, we started complaining about each other like a flood of water.
?쏞an you say that in front of your close family???
"Can you ignore me like that in front of those handsome parents?"
"No, they're good parents." "What does that mean?"
"What do you mean? Literally, you're good!"
Their conversation was unstoppable, and their voices grew endlessly.
As his voice grew louder, the speed of the car increased, and as his speech grew harsher, his driving became more difficult. Dangerous situations arise many times.
And in the end, the two of them looked straight ahead without saying a word.
There were no more words, but unspoken words echoed in their hearts.
The car, which had been driving for a long time, stopped in front of a traffic light. A dog was passing in front of the two men who sighed deeply.
For a moment, Nam Fen turned his head downward and threw a word.
"Hey! There's your relative over there!"
Surprised to hear that it was her husband's sudden relative, the wife looked around. No matter how much I looked around, I couldn't find anyone.
"Where? Who says passing by?"
At the wife's words, the husband nodded and pointed at the dog.
"There..." he said.
The wife glared at her husband when she saw the dog passing in front of the branch. The husband was looking ahead with a look of accusation, but he could feel the burning eyes of his wife.
The wife turned her gaze away from her husband and looked at the dog again.
Then I opened the window and shouted.
"Good morning?"
The wife saw the dog and said hello. It's also very polite....
The husband looked at his wife with a gaze, wondering if he had gone crazy. The wife, conscious of her husband's gaze, shouted at the dog again.
"Hello? Father! Where are you leaving your son in the car?" "This person looks just like your father. He has the same temperament and looks the same." True father, you know that this person likes bosintang, right? take care."
My husband couldn't say anything more.
This has turned the family outing into a hellish thing.
----------------------------
It is to make our family a newlywed that a single word can never live apart, and a single word makes it a lifelong affair that we cannot live together.
Here are some risky couple types.
Silence Couple - The silence between the couple is not cracking, but cracking between the couple.
The Tungmyeong couple - Jjjangjeung destroys the marital relationship.
Money Money Couple - Money is not everything in marriage.
Daldal couple - We need to recognize each other's territory and freedom. Don't fry too sweet.
Gossiping couple - To see your spouse's scars on others is like lying down and spitting.
Separated couple - indifferent, no interference A couple is like carrying a bomb.
I want you to think about what type of marriage we are. My husband and I do not belong here. I hope that there are no couples in this family.
It is said that if your wife is on your side, your chances of success increase by 80%.
Who can make you the best in the world? It's your spouse.
Who can make you the worst person in the world? It's your spouse. A spouse is such an important being. Family, that is a great thing indeed.
American professional baseball major leaguer Roger Clemens was once the best pitcher in the world who was offered a blank check by his team, the New York Yankees. Clemens, however, declined the Yankees offer, saying, "I want to end my playing career in Houston, where I live with my grandmother and family." In the end, Clemens signed a one-year contract with Houston, for a salary of only $1 million. This is a case of prioritizing the family over the large sum in front of them. Greg Maddox, who finished his season with the Los Angeles Dodgers, recently joined the San Diego jersey. Although we received love calls from many teams, he explained the background as "San Diego is the best place for family and children."
However, there must be a clear distinction between family love and family selfishness. Family love and family selfishness are two different things. Family love is what families do to save each other. Love is what saves. When loving one's family hurts or harms other families or other people, or brings harm to society, it becomes family selfishness. Family love should not be family supremacy.
To love your family, you must love now. Parents will leave with regret, and our children will not be with us for a while. You may not have time to express your love because you are leaving so quickly. Our loving family is not always with us. Therefore, do not procrastinate and love your family now.
