Why are we here? Does our family exist to prepare children for the Major Leagues? If so, then baseball will be the center of our family’s universe, and everything else will bow to the whims and wishes of the baseball god. Does our family exist to produce socialites? If so, then our family must revolve around the social calendars of our overloaded teenagers and their hectic schedules. However, if our family exists to glorify and honor God and to lay a biblical foundation in the lives of our children, then we must not allow anything to interfere with our commitment to family worship, prayer, and Bible study.

Such a great quote!
Very important to keep Him first so that He always has the preeminence in EVERY facet of our lives!
Amen 🙂

I told Voddie a while back that only problem I had with his teaching was that I didn’t have it 10 or 15 years ago! The Lord was merciful to my and me when our kids were young – we avoided much of worldly agenda – but we now know we missed much.

This is very true! It’s almost like a computer — if garbage goes in then garbage will come out! Let’s pray the Lord keeps us focused on the most important things in life — HIM!
