Perfect family authority

GOD is not a GOD who is failing, who is weak or who has failed to provide righteous instructions for the family. He has given, in The New Testament clear instructions for the husband and father, wife and mother as well as the children. When these commandments are carried out perfectly for GOD's glory; in His will then their will be perfection in terms of family. This perfection means no more shouting out of hate, no more failing of a household job, no misery because of other family members actions and no pain because of those in your own household. I invite you then, to glorify GOD in your family. And I ask that you carry out your job as a member of the family, whether you are a husband and father, wife and mother or child. I also encourage you to encourage other family members to carry out their jobs as family members for GOD's glory.
