The family forms a child’s psyche. It is in the home that a child typically learns who he is, what he can do, and what is expected of him. The child also learns a sense of security and confidence.
A child looks into the face of his or her parent to get a sense of worth. Does he see love in his mother’s face? Does she see love in her father’s eyes? That child should see that he is so special because of his mother’s love and so special because of his father’s love.
A child also gets a concept of life in the home. If there are limitations, disciplines, and rules, then the child learns he is not a law unto himself.
What else does a child learn in the home? He learns about God. That’s right. Parents need to be teaching their children about God. This isn’t an exclusive job of the church. If the parents and siblings don’t show love and mercy and grace and concern, then children’s concept of God may be warped.
Joshua 24:15 says, “And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.”

Greg is a strong believer in Jesus Christ and in the need for revival in today’s Church. He likes reading, writing, music, and spending time with his family and his dog Roxie. By day he is a self-employed non-emergency medical transport driver, and is the Editor-in-Chief for the National War Council, as well as being a political analyst, author, blogger, and an accomplished DIYer. His articles are first published on Inspirational Christian Blogs, and I Am Not Ashamed of the Gospel of Christ!, and from there the articles are published on other well-known conservative websites.
The author feels convinced that the Church is in extreme danger of being forsaken by God for being unbiblical and seeks to warn all those with “ears to hear.” He believes we are in the last days of the end times, and that God is building His Remnant Church even now.
