A Christian Home
Pastor Gary Denbow
Joshua 24:14-15
7/2/2023

1. Where Christ is Lord and Savior.
• All things that have replaced the true and living God must be removed.
• All lifestyles must be changed to reflect the life that Jesus offers.
• We must build our altars as a witness that, truly, we believe in the one Savior, one Lord.
2. Where there is a Calling and a Vision.
• Christian families have been guilty of assuming a status far below what they should. Our status is clearly outlined in the Word of God. (Phil. 3:17-21, Eph. 1:5-11)
3. Where biblical foundation is laid.
• Parents are the primary teachers of children.
• The Word of the Lord is the proper curriculum.
• The application of biblical principles is to be the objective.
• Systematic teaching by word and example is to be norm.
4. Where Christian attitudes are developed.
• Teaching the fruit of the spirit helps to form personality.
• Teaching the Word helps us learn respect for our parents.
• Studying the Word helps parents know the value of expressing love for their children.
• Contentment, gratefulness, and freedom come from studying the Word.
