The Family That Prays Together ...

"As Christians we should never neglect or ignore our relationships with the opposite sex. Do you know why? Because God tells us that as Christians we have a built-in level of commitment to each other as 'brothers and sisters' in Christ (1 Timothy 5:1-2). We're family. And while there are limits to how close men and women can be in friendships, we can't shirk our responsibility to care for, encourage, and build up our brothers and sisters." ~ Joshua Harris

Remember to build each other up. God has blessed us with a community of Believers, near and far, that are seeking Him daily, having hearts ablaze with desire to learn more. Call, write, text, read, share, encourage. Keep the fire going in each other! Pray for each other, that your brother or sister should flee from temptation and not stumble. Love one another. Siblings fight, over the big things and the small. But in the end we are all connected by blood. By the blood of the Lamb. Love means forgiveness of wrongs, acceptance of faults and truth in action. A family is a unit and like anything else, can only function when all the parts are working together.

"That we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head --Christ-- from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love." ~ Ephesians 4: 14-16
