Well I have a new design for my blog. If you know me, you know that I love coffee. Thank you Father for coffee.
This post is to share with you the values that Chassidy and I build our house upon. We got this idea while visiting her boss' house and by noticing their family values written on a tablet near the dinner table. So we decide that this was something that we wanted to do as an newly established family. We have come up with three values so far that the Rogers house is built upon. The Rogers' family values so far are:
Truth
Prayer
Giving
I'll spend this blog and the next two blogs covering each one of these values.
Value 1: Truth
Chassidy and I hold fast to the teachings of the Holy Bible, The Scriptures, The Word of God. The Bible is God's revelation to man of the truth. Where did we come from? Why are we here? Where are we going? Who is God? Who are we? What is good and what is evil? These are some questions that have been asked since God created Adam. These are questions that lead to an infinite amount of questions. These are questions that people search their whole lives to get answered. Some graciously find and some do not. God has revealed himself and helped us answer these questions through graciously speaking to us through his Word.
Our faith came through hearing the Word of God (Rom. 10:17). We came as babies to know our Father through His Word. Our lives have been sustained and we have grown because of the pure spiritual milk of God's word. We have, and still, become stronger and more developed through chewing on the meat of God's Word. We are taught, rebuked, reproved, corrected, and trained daily by His Word. We are also reminded daily of who he is, who we are, and our relationship status with him through his Word. We love his Word, his Truth.
In the greatest sermon ever preached, Jesus said, "Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock." (Matthew 7:24- 25) Chassidy and I have, unashamedly, chosen to daily build our house on the steady, unchanging, non-shifting rock of God's Word. If we fail to do this, we are fools...and so are you. Because the rain does fall, the floods do come, the winds does blow and beat on our house, but on God's Word we will not fall.
If you want to talk to me more about this, I would love to!
John
