Foundation of the Family

Psalm 127

Foundation is God (verse 1)

1. High rate of divorce – leave God out

2. Even if some stay together – Ahab and Jezebel

Faith in the Bible

1. There must be something to believe in.

2. A road map, a guide book, a book for “dummies”

3. Josiah had the book of God read – to all the family

4. Deuteronomy 6 – morning / night, sitting / walking

Focus on Heaven

1. Keep a clear focus

   1. Personal – life, work, morals

   2. Marriage – vow, support spouse

   3. Family – children, sports, recreation

2. Joseph – every decision for self or family – will this get me to heaven?

3. Application – Every choice you make must be based on how this will help / hinder my or my family getting to heaven.
