Family Matters

We are reminded that following Jesus changes our grip on this life, so that our hands loosen on the things of this world and often grip tighter to the people and relationships God has put in our life. Our relationships will bear one of two fruits, either good fruit to the glory of God, or fruit that is rotten and devastating to those around us. There is no greater opportunity to produce good fruit than in our relationships with our family or with those in our church family. Both of these family relationships matter a great deal to the Lord, or He would have not given them to us as good gifts to be stewarded. Prayerfully consider what God has to say to us from His Word in the coming weeks as we hear about some good and not so good models in the Bible for our lives together, and may we bear good fruit in all our Family Matters.
