TRUTH-SPREADING FAMILIES
God established the family unit before anything else--before church and before government. God wants His Word to go forth into the world for it is only His truth that enables us to live in the full blessing of all the God has planned for us. How should this word go forth? The first way is through families.
How do we do this? Firstly by richly implanting it in the minds, hearts, and mouths of our children.
Secondly, by speaking it forth from our families into the world. In Isaiah 59:21 God tells us that He wants His word to not only be in our hearts, but in our mouths, and in the mouths of our children, and in the mouths of our children's children, and throughout all generations. This can't happen without speaking it out loud. We don't hide God's words to ourselves. God wants families to share His truth with the world--through the way the live as a family and through parents and children speaking God's truths wherever they go.
We are to be truth-spreading families. This is what we are training our children for. Paul wrote to the Thessalonians : "For from you SOUNDED OUT the word of the Lord . . . in every place" (1 Thessalonians 1:8). The NLT says, "The word of the Lord is RINGING OUT from you to people everywhere."
What do you talk about most in your family? Do God's words fill every mouth? Just imagine what could happen in the nation if Bible-believing families became living and speaking truth-spreading families?
