The Role of Parents in a Christian Home (Part 2)
An exemplary father was recorded in the person of Job who prayed continually for his children, “And it was so, when the days of their feasting were gone about, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all: for Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned, and cursed God in their hearts. Thus did Job continually” (Job 1:5).

Pray and Faint Not!
Luke 18:1 And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint…
The burdens of life can often be so overwhelming at times that they threaten to rob the believer of his confidence in God’s ability to help him through yet another impasse. This parable by our Lord Jesus in Luke 18:1-8 teaches us the lesson to keep looking to the Lord in such times: “men ought always to pray and not to faint”. Prayer is the believer’s power with God. This parable encourages us to never stop praying even in the toughest of circumstances.
(1) Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee
– A Majestic Melody Out Of Deafness
Being joyful is a hallmark of the Christian. Jesus said to His followers: “These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full” (John 15:11). The Apostle Paul reminds us that one of the “fruit of the spirit is…joy…” (Gal. 5:22). A joyless Christian would be a great contradiction.
(1) In Times of Trial
And He went a little further, and fell on His face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from Me: nevertheless not as I will, but as Thou wilt. (Matthew 26:39 In the hour of trial, our Lord Jesus was prayerful and obedient to the Father’s will.
Study to shew thyself approved unto God
The study of theology is most profitable to a man’s soul. In fact, every Christian should embark on a systematic study of God’s Word that will help him along the path of his spiritual growth. God’s Word is milk and meat to the soul. It nourishes and strengthens the inner man. How should a Christian approach the study of the Word of God?
Be good and obedient to their own husbands
Titus 2:5 To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.
Titus exhorted the women in his congregation to be a good and obedient wife to her own husband so that the word of God would not be blasphemed. The word “blasphemed” means “be reproached”.
The testimony of God’s people would either glorify or blaspheme the word of God. Being godly and possessing Christ-like character speak volumes of our faith in the Lord. It testifies of a higher wisdom and prudence of living that is consistent to the will of God as revealed in His Word.
