1 | God's declaration of priority in the fam | Matt 22:1 | qweenbeeof3 | 192348 | ||
There has been much discussion in our family about our priorities concerning who takes precident and who proceeds after that. Some have said that it is first God, then your spouse and then children, job etc. Others say it's God then Family which includes spouse and children then job etc. Is there any Biblical basis of either of these though processes? I've heard this before but have been unable to back it up with scripture. Thank you! | ||||||
2 | God's declaration of priority in the fam | Matt 22:1 | JohnDiscipleship | 192349 | ||
I am in ministry and often get asked that question. The answer I give people is this, God comes first in everything, if your family needs you then that's where God will lead you, if a friend needs you then that's where God will lead you. You should not consider follwing God and then see what comes second instead you should always ask God to be No 1 in everything you do, whether Family, job etc. and then ask for His guidance as to how to best serve Him. I have found that my spouse and children and those around me make less demands on my time when I encourage them to join with me in serving others rather than being jealous of how I spend my time, that way we end up spending a lot of good quality time together. Iam trying to put Matthew 22 v 37 but it won't let me!! | ||||||

Thank you. As a follow up to this there is no direct scripture that indicates that there is any hierarchy is that right? It was my impression that this idea is nothing but a teaching but is not actually scripturally based. Thank you for the reference in Matthew. Are you a Pastor? | ||||||

jesusfreak33: I see you have answered a good number of questions today. I am glad you have become a part of the forum. May I suggest you go to the UPDATE USER INFO. under the RESOURCES. Tell what you feel is good to know about yourself. I would encourage you to quote Scripture when ever you can rather than just listing it when you first start to answer. Blessings. justme |
