2. Know your family.
Just because you have a family doesn’t mean you know your family. I believe that for us in ministry our relationship with our family is the greatest sermon you’ll ever preach. My good friend Reggie Joiner says it this way…”What happens at home is more important than what happens at church. Every educator knows that those who have help with school work at home have an advantage the same thing is true when it comes to learning spiritual things. This morning I was listening to Mark Batterson speak and he said something that hit me hard He said “I want to be famous with the people who know me best my family.” I love this! I would rather be respected by my wife, my girls and their husbands, and my grandson than anyone else. I would rather win my family than the world. That doesn’t mean I don’t care about the world I do but I have a target group I must aim at if I’m going to hit it. How do I do this…
