RAISING A GODLY FAMILY- 4


TEXT: HEBREWS 12:6-11

We considered last week some of the godly virtues needed to raise a godly family. Nevertheless, there are bound to be misunderstanding, misrepresentation and other challenges within a godly family. God also made provisions, in the Holy Scriptures, on how they should be resolved. These we are studying today.

Discipline and correction are the outflows of love necessary for the entire well-being of a godly family. Often times, the offense necessitating a disciplinary action may have caused conflicts and the enemy would want to take advantage of such conflicts but the family members must unite to kick the enemy out of the family.

Outline

  • DISCIPLINE AND CORRECTION IN THE FAMILY: 

Heb. 12:6-11; Pro. 3:11-12; Pro. 15:10; Pro. 22:15; II Tim. 3:16; Gen. 16:4-10

  • UNITING AGAINST THE ENEMY:

Deut. 32:30; Gen. 11:4-6, 14:10-16; Act 12:1-5, 11-12; Jug. 5:15-19

MEMORY VERSE:

Open rebuke is better than secret love.

Proverbs 27:5
