Ephesians 6:1-4 – Your Family Culture
There is “The World’s Culture” and then there is “Your Family Culture.” Two examples of this are found in our children. When our daughters were young, many of their friend’s parents were divorcing. It was getting so bad Janet and I sat them down and comforted them saying, “We will never divorce.” Our youngest daughter, Ashley said “Thank you.” Apparently she needed to hear that. When our sons were first coming into our lives, their verbal opinion of marriage was, and I quote, “Yuck.” At the tender age of 5 they had learned a man is defined by how many girlfriend’s they have. These young men learned a different culture. They never dated in high school and are waiting to date until they are financially able to care for a wife and family. The world’s culture has dramatically warped and will continue to. Be strong in the faith. Make God’s way your culture. And be comforted that you can teach your children “Your Family Culture.”
