By Wisdom And Understanding

Through wisdom a house is built, and by understanding it is established. Proverbs 24:3.

The family is the most important institution in the world. It was God’s plan; He ordained it. It wasn’t the idea of sociologists. Families and homes existed before cities and governments, written language, nations, temples, or churches. God intended for the home to be a family’s foundation, a place of security. God meant for the home to be a place where character and attitudes were formed, integrity born, and values made clear. Instead, we see rubbish everywhere—rubbish on our televisions, on digital devices, in literature, and in magazines that poke fun at the idea of traditional home experience. The institution of the home once fortified society. A popular personality was asked about the institution of marriage and home. She responded, “Who wants to live in an institution?” This is typical of the ridicule that has been heaped on the home. Satan’s attacking the family as never before. What should our defenses against such attacks be? If families would return to God and make Him the focus of the home and the heart of the family, reading the Bible that brings comfort in turmoil and light to dark pathways, the nation would begin to rebuild on a sure foundation.
