Strong families are not the norm today, not even in the church. This is largely due to the fact the Christian families mimic the culture of busyness and materialism prevalent in America. Marriages are not built on Biblical principles. Strong Families start with strong men who are servant-leaders in their families. These men set the Biblical priorities for their families and are not shy about praying with and teaching their children the faith. These strong families resist busyness and instead promote a Christian world view that has a healthy view of balance in daily living. Strong families will produce the majority of the world-changing children.
