How to Build a God Influencer's Home Pt. IV (14 of 16)
Series: The God Issue

Colossians 3:16-21
We're thinking these days about home building … building homes that not only provides a godly influence, but homes that produce godly influencers!

Proverbs 29.15b, "A child left to himself brings shame to his mother." You let somebody else influence them and that's what you can expect: "shame to his mother," and I would add, "and to his father."
God help us as parents to make God, the issue in our homes, and to be influencing our families toward the things of God. If we would just follow the directions God's given us as parents in Deuteronomy 6.5-9, "You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your sou ...
