Speaker: Zac Poonen Title: Build Close Relationships In Your Family Date: April 26, 2020 Our Goal as Christians is this: To be an exact reflection of Jesus, the Son of God (Romans 8:29) We do this individually by growing in purity in our personal lives (1 John 3:2-3) We do this corporately by becoming fully functioning members of a local Church (Ephesians 4:11-16)

Summary

The speaker urges listeners to redeem the time by making the most of their time, emphasizing that this involves more than just Bible study. A crucial aspect of redeeming time is building close fellowship within the family, as the text suggests that the distance between fathers and children was a cause for divine displeasure. He concludes by stressing the importance of strengthening family bonds in preparation for the Lord's coming.

Make the most of your timeEphesians 5 instructs us to redeem the time because the days are evil, meaning we must be wise in how we spend our days instead of engaging in profitless habits.

Balanced Bible reading and studyWhile reading the Bible is essential, it should be approached as spiritual nourishment rather than a heavy, boring task, utilizing study aids to deepen scriptural understanding.

Spending time with your childrenSpending time at home with children, having fun, and playing games together reflects the biblical picture of God's kingdom and builds essential family fellowship.

The warning of Malachi regarding fathers and childrenThe Old Testament ends with a warning about a curse because the hearts of fathers and children were distant from one another despite living in the same home.

The primary place of the marriage relationshipHusbands and wives must love each other intensely and keep their marital bond primary, rather than shifting all affection to children and becoming distant from one another.

The tongue as a tree of lifeInstead of using speech merely for academic or argumentative knowledge of good and evil, believers must use a soothing tongue to impart spiritual life within the home.Proverbs 15:4

The wise woman builds her houseThe wise woman builds her home through a submissive spirit, reflecting the divine power of submission over the destructive power of rebellion that entered the universe through sin.Proverbs 14:1

Daily encouragement and mercy in marriageSpouses must encourage one another daily to combat the deceitfulness of sin, always forgiving mistakes and showing the same mercy they received from God.Hebrews 3:13

Family life comes before church ministryFamily life is the third story of a believer's spiritual foundation and must be established and ordered correctly before one attempts to build or lead in church ministry.

Teaching children obedience and truthParents must diligently train their children in total obedience, respectfulness, and truth-speaking so they grow up to be a blessing and inherit the promise of well-being.

Fathers must not provoke their childrenFathers must avoid provoking their children to anger through unbridled personal frustration, instructing them instead in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.Ephesians 6:4

Daily repentance and purifying oneselfBelievers with the hope of becoming like Christ must practice daily self-judgment and repentance, looking to the glory of God rather than inward depression to cleanse themselves from sin.
