Thursday Devotional
Family should be foremost in mind to keep it intact
BY DON LANE
Pastor, Crestmont Baptist
Church
There was a day that family
trouble was confined to those folks
that more or less planned it that
way. These folks had loose morals,
no church, no discipline, bad hab-
its. no money, no status, and little
education.
In 1989, that "profile" no long-
er applies. The very finest people
and their families are devastated by
family destruction on several fronts.
you—the number of_ divorces,
separations, and family crises. How
has the church contributed to these
sad statistics?
Recently I did a study and
The Christian church has had to
come to grips with this problem
and include people from broken rela-
tionships and single-parent families
or find itself excluding well over
one-third of the population.
Let me pose this question: Is
the church contributing to the de-
mise of the family or helping the
situation? Hardly a week goes by
that we do not receive news of a
"fallen preacher" and another wo-
man in the church. Were you to
trace the families of any church
through the years, it would shock
found that the average man in my
church had six hours of time to
volunteer somewhere or to be in-
volved in church activities. I did a
study on the amount of time he
would need to spend here at church
to be "fully involved."
The average man would have to
spend 18 hours a week at church to
be one of the "committed;" and the
average woman would spend 20
hours a week, as there are some
extra "blessings" for her during the
week.
In fact, most people die with less
than S percent of their body sick,
the other is a picture of health.
Christian friend, let me give
you a statement and a challenge.
First, if we are counted among the
great saints of God and have spiri-
tual gifts that cause us to be held in
great high esteem and fail with our
families, we are a failure. If I grow
a great church and lose my children
and wife, I am a failure.
I Corinthians 13:1—"Though I
speak with the tongue of men and
of angels, but have not love, I have
become as sounding brass or a
clanging cymbal.
Second, the greater my family
grows together in love and under-
standing of God, and applies what
Christ is toward one another in our
home, the stronger my church will
be because of it
Ephesians 5:25—"Christ also
loved the church and gave Himself
for it"
FUMC will welcome a new leader
DON LANE
The average family eats one sit-
down formal meal together a week.
Most families eat fast food three to
four dmes a week or eat in shifts
each evening.
As a pastor of a sizable church,
I have to be careful not to neglect
my family. I think it is time to
look at what is happening to our
people and their unique needs. The
marriage is a holy institution just
like the church. The family is just a
microcasm of the church itself. If 2
oercent of my body cells become
diseased, it affects my whole body.
