The God-centered home

Posted by: Lasserre on May 29, 2009


This quote from The Heart of Anger by Lou Priolo is a good reminder of what the God-Centered home should look like:

“The concept of a God centered home is derived from the biblical principle that the purpose of every Christian is to glorify God (1 Corinthians 6:20 and 10:31).

In contrast to a child-centered home, where pleasing and serving the child is the dominant theme, the God-centered home is one in which everyone is committed to pleasing and serving God. God’s desires are exalted over everyone else’s. Everyone in the family may be expected to sacrifice personal pleasures if God’s will requires it. This philosophy teaches children to serve rather than be served, to honor rather than be honored, to give (be loving) rather than take (be selfish).”
