    WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF FAMILY
    The purpose of a family is the glory of God because God had established the institution of the family for
    Himself. In the words of William Perkins, "Marriage was made . . . by God Himself, to be the fountain . .
    . of all other sorts and kinds of life in the commonwealth and in the church."

    “WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO VIEW THE PURPOSE OF
    THE FAMILY AS THE GLORY OF GOD?”
    It is because, in the long run, it determines what goes on in a family. It sets the
    priorities in a spiritual rather than material direction. It determines what a family
    does with its time and how it spends its money. The family is also the foundational
    unit of a society. Why? Simply because the family is the school wherein the first
    principles and grounds of government and subjection are learned. All will be well
    with the country where families are properly regulated and vice versa. The very
    nature and moral fibre of our society today depend on what children have picked
    up or failed to pick up in the family. "Well-ordered families," said Cotton Mather,
    "naturally produce a good order in other societies. When families are under an ill-
    disciplined system, all other societies [will be] ill-disciplined."

    HOW DO WE HONOR OR FAMILY
    Family honor is an abstract concept involving the perceived quality of worthiness and respectability that affects the
    social standing and the self-evaluation of a group of related people, both corporately and individually.
    The Bible is clear about how we are to treat our parents. The fifth commandment
    says, “Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land
    that the Lord your God is giving you” (Exodus 20:12). This commandment, and
    the blessing attached to it, are repeated throughout the old and new testaments. 
    F
    But what does it mean “honor
    thy father and mother?”

    The Oxford English Dictionary says honor means “to


    regard with great respect or high esteem.” It also
    describes honor as “something regarded as a rare
    opportunity and bringing pride and pleasure; a
    privilege.” Both of these describe what it means to
    honor your parents. 

    When honoring our parents, it’s essential that we


    show them respect, accept their authority, obey them,
    and appreciate them. Many families are hurting today.
    We need a fresh appreciation of the biblical blueprint
    for a well-ordered family and principles and courage
    to practice it today, if possible.

    IMPORTANCE OF FAMILY
    .
    Certainly, God wants our families to succeed and
    prosper. He designed the family to be the basic building
    block of society; thus in order for our communities to be
    stable, the families that comprise them must be as well.

    families so we can produce godly offspring (Malachi
    the building blocks 2:15) and expand His family.

    know strong families don’t “just happen.” Sustaining a
    marriage and raising children are challenging things to
    do. If we want to have happy homes, we have to work
    hard to create them.
