Friday Night Fellowship - Theme: God and Family

I went to my church Fellowship on Friday night. We learnt about family brought by Reverend Stephen Tong. Some points I got from the sermon are:

1. God is the One who created family
2. Family is the very important thing even compared to the society. Families are the ones who makes societies.
3. In order to have a strong and honored family, both parents have to maintain holy love ("kasih yang suci"). Husband and wife have to be faithful to each other, wife has to respect the husband, and husband has to love the wife. So the children will see their parents as a good example and they will not go to the wrong way.
4. Parents have to maintain good relationship with God, and during their daily life they nurture their knowledge of the Word of God, so what come out from their mouth when they speak to their children will reflect on their knowledge about God. Parents who do not build their knowledge of the Word of God will slowly reflect on how they teach and grow their children along their children's lives.
5. God's Holy Spirit is a Creative Spirit. We should not limit our children to only what we want them to be. Our children have many talents that even we might not know what their talents are. We should encourage them trying out what they want until they find out their strongest talent along with Holy Spirit guidance.

It is a blessing that I could have joined the fellowship yesterday night. Kailie was asleep all the way during the sermon so I could listen the sermon entirely from beginning through the end.
