God Is Calling....."Where are You?"

 “Where are You?” Turn to Psalms127:1, it 

reads, “Unless the Lord builds a house, its 

builder’s labor over it in vain; unless the Lord

  watches over a city, the watchman stays alert 

in vain.” The Hebrew word, “shav” is used in 

“the Psalms to state that all activities such as 

laboring, guarding, rising early and toiling for food were useless without God’s assistance.” 

(Hebrew Dictionary) To have a strong family its foundation must be in Christ. We must take time 

for our loved ones. If we what our household to be blessed they must be Christ Centered   Bible 

history tells us Solomon was selected to build the Temple and he knew that building was not an

easy task. Building a marriage and family is the hardest task I can think of. We want to have time

 for family but time slips away.” How did it get so late so soon? Its night before its afternoon. 

 \December is here before its June. My goodness how the time has flown. How did it get so late so 

soon?” (Dr. Seuss) Think about that statement. Many of you are watching your children and 

grandchildren graduate this year. “How did it get so late so ]soon?.” That time with the kids will 

never come again. Make time in your busy schedule for your family. I heard a quote months ago 

and the truth of it touched my very soul. “A Christian home is never defined by what the children

  are doing…it is defined by what the parents are doing.” a Christian home is never defined by 

what the children are doing. Your child could read the Bible every day, listen only to Christian 

music, watch only Christian videos, read every missionary biography in the library, know a zillion

memory verses, have only Christian friends, and never miss Sunday School or Bible Study, and 

yet still not live in a Christian home”. Your child could read the Bible miss Sunday School or Bible 

Club, and yet still not live in a Christian home.” (Patrick and Ruth Schwenk)

            God said, “It is not good that man should be alone.” He performed the first marriage: Adam and Eve, the “first family” a man and woman.  Despite their sin their Creator sought them out because he loved them. He said, “Adam where are you?” God calls to us “Where Are You.” God wants to transform your family. “Where are you?” When the people of Israel were about to enter the Promised Land, Moses charged them as parents, “These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. Impress them on your children” (Deuteronomy 6:6-7a). In essence, Moses was saying, “You cannot impress upon your children’s hearts truth that is not first impressed upon your own heart.” Seek out God for your family. You might need a loving pastor or I invite you to email me. If you are unchurched, bring your family back to Christ. If you are parents that have not had a salvation experience please call. I would be humbled to assist you in coming to Christ.

            There are America’s making concerted effort to destroy family life and totally destroy biblical foundation. Our society in general is mocking morality and belittling the institution of marriage. God has given us the Bible, His inspired Word and it contains principles, precepts and promises which if followed will provide a strong family foundation. But, despite all our worries and frustrations we can trust that our Sovereign God is in control.
