No institution in the culture is facing more intense persecution than the family. Not only are the incidences of divorce, infidelity and abuse on the rise, but social engineers are relentless in their efforts to dismantle the traditional family. Pray that mothers and fathers will take their place in the home and care for their children.
Scripture about Family:
…Choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve…. But as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD. (Joshua 24:15)
Sons are a heritage from the LORD, children a reward from him. Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are sons born in one’s youth. Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. They will not be put to shame when they contend with their enemies in the gate. (Psalm 127:3-5)
Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it. (Proverbs 22:6)
