Translations:DEV 13FN Healthy Family (Parent-Child)/30/en

'Summary: If problems already exist that are disturbing a families’ harmony, the path to healing begins with confession of sin to God (1 John 1:9) and to the one we’ve wronged (James 5:16a) resulting in forgiveness and restoration of broken relationships. Children are responsible to submit to their parents, except when asked to violate God’s revealed word. In those situations, children are expected to obey the Bible. Even in those situations, children must treat their parents with respect. Parents must raise their children in the discipline and encouragement of the Lord, and not provoke them. When tempted to respond inappropriately to children or parents, we need to submit our hearts to God and resist. Remember, church leaders should be growing in how they manage their families and raise their children (Titus 1:5-9, 1 Timothy 3:1-7)'
