Neh. 3 [The Message]

As I listened to chapter three, the record of the families that worked together to repair all the sections of Jerusalem’s broken-down wall, I was amazed to hear of this man whose daughters were involved in the construction. I got to thinking of how my daughters and I (sons too) are working to build up the walls of our family.

I was speaking to my daughter Ashley of this principle just yesterday. It had to do with training her daughters (my granddaughters) about the importance of family as God wants it. The worldly view of family is becoming so distorted. Christians need to both model and train up children how God wants a family to look like and function.

When our culture is so rapidly changing, the Christian family and home is the last and most important bastion for preserving and restoring Biblical family values. I guess that’s why Dr. James Dobson named his ministry “Focus on the Family.”
