Daily Focus

Make sure you are taking into account eternity with every choice you make about fun and pleasure. We will all be held accountable. As a family, we want to cultivate an environment that continually produces good wholesome fun. “For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.” 1 Corinthians 5:10 NKJV

Suffering comes in many forms. Moses’s choice to choose God over the Egyptians pleasures is the best example for our families. We need to make those tuff daily decisions that put God over what is fun and easy. “  By faith Moses, when he became of age, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter, choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God than to enjoy the passing pleasures of sin,” Hebrews 11:24-25 NKJV

If we put too much into having fun as a family then there the heartbeat of the family will be. Make sure to make the family heartbeat God. Then go and enjoy the recreation time you have together.  “ For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”  Matthew 6:21 NKJV

We must remember the tat evil company corrupts good habits. I would argue that if you keep company with anything evil, you are subject to corruption. No one wants to be corrupt, sinner and saved alike. Do not become spoiled by the things and people you subject your family to. “Do not be deceived: “Evil company corrupts good habits.” 1 Corinthians 15:33

Sin causes death. There is no away around it. The world thinks this type of death is the best way to go out. God does not. Protect yourself and your family from the “fun” that sin brings.   “ Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness,    idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies,   envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.” Galatians 5:19-21 NKJV

Teach your child what “fun” is. We need to take charge of their development and help them learn how to enjoy life without sin. Sin doesn’t add enjoyment; it destroys the beauty of everything. “And you, fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath, but bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord.” Ephesians 6:4 NKJV
