In today’s fast-paced society, it’s easy to feel isolated. Yet we all long for community. Once we accept Christ’s love and sacrifice for us and decide to follow Him, He calls us to serve Him by serving one another within the context of community. The first place we practice living out our faith is at home, with our families.
Over the next month or so, I'll be posting devotional thoughts for parents from the book of Philippians. I first presented these devotions at a small Christian school to a group of co-workers who were also parents and grandparents. I raised my sons in a Christian community. As they participated in school and community activities, we got to know other Christian families. Many parents find encouragement in the Bible to teach their children, talking about God's Word "when you sit at home and when you walk along the road," (Deuteronomy 6:7), touching their lives with God's love. To all of you, I offer Paul's words of encouragement as we read through Philippians together.
