Synopses & Reviews
In a world of divorce, casual sex, and homosexual unions, family once the bedrock of our culture is becoming a matter of uncertainty and argument. From some quarters, traditional roles for men and women are ridiculed. And standing firm in a healthy, well-functioning family is harder than ever.
So how can you have a happy home? How can you pass on strong morals to your children in a world going awry? By following God's divine plan for family life, writes Bible teacher, pastor, father, and grandfather John MacArthur in this book.
There's no magic formula. There's no gimmick. It's not about how many times you do something, or who is in charge of this or that, or what kind of processes or methods you use. It comes down to answering these questions: Am I committed to obedience to the Spirit of God? Am I committed to the controlling influences of the Word of God? Am I going to live out a Christian life? If you can answer yes to all of those questions, then you are bound to have a successful, fulfilled, God-honoring family life.
Synopsis
With traditional family values in decline and under assault, how can parents convey Godly principles and morals amid competing messages? In The Fulfilled Family, John MacArthur, respected Bible teacher as well as experienced father and grandfather, takes a look at strategy for families as outlined in Ephesians 5 and 6.
What is MacArthur's secret to his successful family? There's no magic. There's no formula. There's no gimmick, he says. It's not about how many times we did something, or who was in charge of this or that, or what kind of processes or methods we used. It comes down to questions that have to start in my heart: Am I committed to obedience to the Spirit of God? Am I committed to the controlling influences of the Word of God? Am I going to live out a Christian life? Because you must first answer yes to all of those questions before you have a successful family.
