Building a Strong Christian Family

Psalm 127:1-5

A Christian home is one where God is alive and present in the lives of the parents who are charged with filling the children with Christian values that they practice and live by daily, living by example.

Matt 7:24-27

1. High degree of spiritual relationship with Christ and the Word
2. Mutually appreciate each other. If you don't value each other, that's when issues can arise. Have a chat with each other,contribute something towards the home be it monetary or just chores.
3. Members if the family need to be committed to that family. Build and raise the name positively.
4. Family need to spend time together, especially mom and dad. Spend time to connect.
5. Family have the ability to deal with/resolve a crisis in a positive mind and manner. So that the crisis doesn't gain power to break the family but to make it stronger.
6. Be gracious when speaking to each other. You do not 'own' each other. Avoid damaging each other with negative words. Affirm each other. Don't let misunderstanding come between you.
7. Be filled with Agape love.
