*The Christian Family: The Necessity of Raising a Strong Christian Family*
Bishop Nathi Zondi 10/09/17
1. This family must be Christ-like, Christ centred. Christ is the ultimate model of a truly Christian family. This is because no culture is pure, they carry some evil and purity in them.
2. Jesus Christ is not only the foundation but also the ruler of the family.
(Eph 5)
3. This family worships together in private and in public. The family leader must be examplary in worshipping God.
4. This family shares every joy and blessing and shares every burden and sorrow.
5. This family creates a sense of belonging, which is a consistant source of strength.
6. Fathers do not provoke their children to wrath. It's a home where Fathers control their anger. Fathers are not feared.
(Eph 6:4)
7. It's a place where sons and daughters obey their parents.
(Eph 6:1-3)
8. Success is not faked. Members are honest and open to one another. This creates trust.
