Restoring Life to the Living Room


"Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children; and walk in love, just as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God as a fragrant aroma." (Eph. 5:1-2)

  1. Make LAUGHTER a common occurrence in your home.
    "A joyful heart makes a cheerful face, but when the heart is sad, the spirit is broken." (Prov. 15:13)

    "A miserable heart means a miserable life; a cheerful heart fills the day with song." (Prov. 15:15 MSG)

    "A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones." (Prov. 17:22)

  2. Be quick to BOUNCE BACK; life is too short to waste.
    "In your anger do not sin. Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, and do not give the devil a foothold." (Eph. 4:26-27 NIV) "For momentary, light affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison, while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal." (2 Cor. 4:17-18)

  3. Family that PRAYS together plays and STAYS together.
    "Hear what the unrighteous judge said: now, will not God bring about justice for His elect who cry to Him day and night, and will He delay long over them? I tell you that He will bring about justice for them quickly." (Luke 18:6-8)

    "...for we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us . . . and He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He intercedes for the saints according to the will of God." (Rom. 8:26-27)
