Família
A família é a primeira instituição criada por Deus. Ele a projetou para ser escola de amor, fé e formação de caráter. A Bíblia honra a família e nos ensina a cuidar dela.
Eu e minha casa
Eu e minha casa serviremos ao Senhor. A família que serve a Deus juntos permanece unida e fortalecida em todas as circunstâncias.
But if it seem not good to you to serve the Lord, choose to yourselves this day whom ye will serve, whether the gods of your fathers that were on the other side of the river, or the gods of the Amorites, among whom ye dwell upon their land: but I and my house will serve the Lord, for he is holy.

May the Lord our God be with us, as he was with our fathers; let him not desert us nor turn from us,
Criar os filhos
Instrui a criança no caminho em que deve andar. O lar é a primeira escola de fé e obediência.
Hear, my son, the instruction of thy father,
And reject not the rules of thy mother.
For thou shalt receive for thy head a crown of graces,
And a chain of gold round thy neck.
My son, keep the laws of thy father,
And reject not the ordinances of thy mother:
And these words, all that I command thee this day, shall be in thy heart and in thy soul. And thou shalt teach them to thy children, and thou shalt speak of them sitting in the house, and walking by the way, and lying down, and rising up.

Honrar e amar
Honra teu pai e tua mãe. A família funciona com perdão, paciência e amor incondicional entre todos os seus membros.
Honor thy father and thy mother, that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest live long on the good land, which the Lord thy God gives to thee.
Honor thy father and thy mother, that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest live long on the good land, which the Lord thy God gives to thee.
Cuidar da família
Quem não cuida dos seus negou a fé. A família é responsabilidade sagrada — prover, proteger e abençoar é mandamento divino.
Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine
On the sides of thy house:
Thy children as young olive plants
Round about thy table.
Behold, thus shall the man be blessed that fears the Lord.
May the Lord bless thee out of Zion;
And mayest thou see the prosperity of Jerusalem
All the days of thy life.
There the sparrows will build their nests;
And the house of the heron takes the lead among them.
The high mountains are a refuge for the stags,
And the rock for the rabbits.
There the sparrows will build their nests;
And the house of the heron takes the lead among them.
The high mountains are a refuge for the stags,
And the rock for the rabbits.
A Song of Degrees.
Behold now, bless ye the Lord,
All the servants of the Lord,
Who stand in the house of the Lord,
In the courts of the house of our God.
Unidade familiar
A coroa dos velhos são os filhos dos filhos. O casamento, os filhos e a comunhão familiar são bênçãos de Deus.
Children’s children are the crown of old men;
And their fathers are the glory of children.
The faithful has the whole world full of wealth;
But the faithless not even a farthing.
Children’s children are the crown of old men;
And their fathers are the glory of children.
The faithful has the whole world full of wealth;
But the faithless not even a farthing.
Have thou a friend for every time,
And let brethren be useful in distress;
For on this account are they born.
Thine own friend, and thy father’s friend, forsake not;
And when thou art in distress go not into thy brother’s house:
Better is a friend that is near than a brother living far off.
Son, if thy heart be wise,
Thou shalt also gladden my heart;
A righteous father brings up his children well;
And his soul rejoices over a wise son.
A wise son makes his father glad:
But a foolish son is a grief to his mother.
Prepare thy works for thy going forth,
And prepare thyself for the field;
And come after me,
And thou shalt rebuild thy house.
A receiver of bribes destroys himself;
But he that hates the receiving of bribes is safe.
By alms and by faithful dealings sins are purged away;
But by the fear of the Lord everyone departs from evil.
He that deals not graciously with his own house shall inherit the wind;
And the fool shall be servant to the wise man.
Casamento e família
O homem deixará pai e mãe e se unirá à sua mulher. A família começa no casamento — aliança sagrada diante de Deus.
Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother and shall cleave to his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.
And God blessed them, saying, Increase and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the seas and flying creatures of heaven, and all the cattle and all the earth, and all the reptiles that creep on the earth.
And see life with the wife whom thou lovest
All the days of the life of thy vanity,
Which are given thee under the sun:
For that is thy portion in thy life,
And in thy labor wherein thou laborest under the sun.
Will a woman forget her child, so as not to have compassion upon the offspring of her womb? but if a woman should even forget these, yet I will not forget thee, saith the Lord.
Behold, I have painted thy walls on my hands, and thou art continually before me.
