Family Life Day
Our emphasis today is on Family Life. Come worship with us in the beauty of holiness. We start at 8:00am with the Family Altar. Bring all your cares and leave them at the foot of the cross and be encouraged by a powerful testimony from Dr. David & Sis Francine Jackson. The day's proceedings will be interspersed with inspirational gospel music from Pashae Bogle, VAS Singers and Passions for Praise. Bro Michael Sterling will bring us a word from the Lord at Divine Service. It promises to be a blessed day. Don't miss it!
Atmosphere of the Home
“We love because he first loved us.” – 1 John 4:19
Home should be made all that the word implies. It should be a little heaven upon earth, a place where the affections are cultivated instead of being studiously repressed. Our happiness depends upon this cultivation of love, sympathy, and true courtesy to one another. The sweetest type of heaven is a home where the Spirit of the Lord presides. If the will of God is fulfilled, the husband and wife will respect each other and cultivate love and confidence.
The atmosphere surrounding the souls of fathers and mothers fills the whole house, and is felt in every department of the home. To a large extent parents create the atmosphere of the home circle, and when there is disagreement between father and mother, the children partake of the same spirit. Make your home atmosphere fragrant with tender thoughtfulness. If you have become estranged and have failed to be Bible Christians, be converted; for the character you bear in probationary time will be the character you will have at the coming of Christ.
-Adventist Home (1952), p.8.
