There is no greater place for God to work in the lives of people than in the family. Because I believe this to be true, responsible parenting is the focus of what I would like to share in upcoming visits. Foundational to responsible parenting is providing security for your children by cultivating a healthy marriage. Dr. Dobson has stated that about 10,000 studies have demonstrated that children grow up most healthy if they are in a family unit. The healthier the marriage the healthier the family, and I believe the healthier the children will be.” If you are not in a healthy marriage remember the words of Paul in Romans 12:18: “If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.” If you are a single parent as a result of whatever circumstances, God doesn’t give up on you. He works with what He has to work with. “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose” (Romans 8:28). In 1 Corinthians 7:12-16, Paul points out that a believing spouse or parent has a sanctifying influence on the rest of the family. If you are a committed Christian you are like an open window through which the light of God shines into the lives of the other members of your family. This is true even of believing children, but it is especially true of a parent in the home. Ask God to make you a window for His love to shine through into the lives of your family members.
