Kindness In The Home
March 28, 2018
Do you know where we need to be kind the most? In our homes. Why is it that sometimes we are the most unkind to those we love the best? The most cutting remarks sometimes occur in the home. Indeed, there are many marriages that could be saved by a little gentleness.
Emerson said, “Courtesy is made up of little sacrifices.” If you are a husband, let me give an application for today. Men are to be the leader of the home. And one of the marks of leadership is gentleness. 2 Timothy 2:24 says: “And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient.”
The psalmist said of the Lord, “Thou hast also given me the shield of Thy salvation: and Thy gentleness hath made me great.” (2 Samuel 22:36).
Are you a mother and want your children to be great? Be gentle. They will grow and blossom with a father and mother who are gentle. The Bible says of a wife: “She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness” (Proverbs 31:26). Your children need this kindness perhaps more than anything else.
Colossians 3:12 says, “Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering.”
FOR YOUR GIFT TO THE MINISTRY
What is the mission of the Church?
Love Worth Finding's newest book, "A Final Charge to the Church, "is based on the final series of messages Pastor Rogers preached before retiring in 2005. Pastor Rogers wanted to prepare his congregation for the future. In doing so, he provided a biblically sound blueprint that applies to all Christians on topics including unity among believers, standing strong in opposition to the enemy (Satan), the power of the Holy Spirit to change lives, steadfastness in prayer, true worship, faithfulness to God's Word, caring for others, and the kingdom authority given to believers in Jesus Christ. The book is a great read for all believers who want to become better prepared, as the bride of Christ, to be radiant, pure, and faithful to Jesus, the living Word of God.
