Priority of Family and the Church

Imagine if someone asked you for one lesson, just one thing that God has taught you in your life that you want to pass on to other Christians. Dr. Al Mohler, one of the top Christian thinkers of our time, was asked that question. And this is what he said…

“I think the one great lesson the Lord has taught me over these years is that the importance of the family and the local congregation supersedes every other relationship to which the Christian is called. Christians demonstrate the glory of God and the power of the gospel by the way we marry and stay married, by the way we raise our children, by the way we love each other, and by the way we live faithfully in the congregation of believers. The centrality of Christ’s purpose to glorify himself in His church and the blessings of God that are directed to the precious gift of the family — these far exceed our other allegiances.”
