The Flaw – The Ultimate Guide To The Perfect Family 2018-07-16T08:41:28-05:00 Eduardo Quintana

LOGO Patheos Explore the world's faith through different perspectives on religion and spirituality! Patheos has the views of the prevalent religions and spiritualities of the world.

We all desire to have the perfect family, don’t we? If you have been alive for more than 7 years, you probably already know there is no such thing as the perfect family. As a child, between birth and 7 years of age, we believe our family is perfect. Our daddy is the strongest and our mommy the most beautiful. Our house is the best and our lives seem so perfect. But somewhere between 6 and 9 years of age, we realize that our families are messed up! We begin to see our family for what they really are. We see the flaws in everyone! Soon, we even see the flaws in ourselves and realize that there is NO hope. This is one reason men have commitment issues. Because we want the perfect family, but we know there is no such thing.

I am  beginning a new series today called “The Ultimate Guide to The Perfect Family – Breaking Stereotypes”

This series will be based on families in the Bible. It’s important to say that no efforts have been made to airbrush the complexions of even of most notable households. God doesn’t attempt to hide the dirty laundry of Bible families. It’s all right there, in plain view for everyone to see.

The Bible also presents the joys of family life, but we cannot ignore the dark side of noticeable biblical men and women! The Bible doesn’t present the human condition in the home any different than anywhere else.

We Are All Flawed

Our families have flaws because all humans have flaws. If you have something about your family that isn’t perfect, join the club. Our Churches are full of struggling families, stressed families and good families that are striving to be better, but no perfect families. That needs to be said. We need to go on record with that. People need to be able to come to church without thinking they need to wear masks in order to fit in.

If you’ve ever asked yourself if you’re the only one in church “feelin’ so small” the answer is “NO!” We all feel small sometimes. We feel small because we know we’re not perfect and our families aren’t perfect.

So God’s Word addresses this issue because God cares about you. He cares about how you feel. He cares about your family! He doesn’t want you to think that you’re a second-class citizen because you or your family has flaws.

 

God Cares

He cares about you if you’re single, divorced, widowed, married with kids or married with no children. He cares about the family flaws you have to face now, the family flaws you endured in the past, and the ones yet to come. God wants to help us handle the abnormal things about our family. So for the next several weeks, I will attempt to show you that no matter what your family situation is, God still loves you and can use you. Now let’s take a look at the first family. I am not talking about the family of the President of The USA but literally, the first family. Adam and Eve and their lovely children!
