In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

5. Ellen White wrote:
“The greatest evidence of the power of Christianity
that can be presented to the world is a well-
ordered, well-disciplined family.”
—Adventist Home, p. 32
6. IMPORTANT CONCEPTS
• Christianity is a centralized life in love.
“Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.”
—1 John 4:8
7. • Home is a place to learn love
If love does not work at home, does not work anywhere else.
8. • Love is a quality that is developed
o Nobody is born loving.
o We are born with the need and potential to love.
o Love is learned.
o That’s why God created the home!
9. Four of the 10 Commandments relate directly or
indirectly to the home.
10. • Second Commandment: Children tend to follow
the example of their parents.
• Fourth Commandment: The Sabbath rest
includes the entire family.
• Fifth Commandment: Children of any age have
responsibility toward their parents.
• Tenth Commandment: Admire your
own spouse, not the neighbor’s.
11. Taking care of our family should be a priority
over everything else—except over God
Himself.
12. RECIPE FOR A HAPPY FAMILY
1. Spend quality time regularly
• The greatest gift you can give your family is
you—yourself!

• Fulfill your promise.
13. • Allow time for small tasks
o Work as a team.
o Undertake something together.
o Have rituals.
o Set and discuss priorities.
14. 2. Communicate well
• Communicate with your spouse in a
meaningful way:
oListen lovingly
oListen without judging
oShare problems and triumphs
oCommunicate at a deeper level
• Intimacy
• Romance
15. • Communicate with your children appropriately:
o Verbal communication should cover both
speaking and listening. It should be age-
appropriate, respectful, and friendly.
o Appropriate touch is important.
o Body language affects how they react.
16. 3. Affirm frequently
• Express appreciation.

• Beware of criticism.
• Always look for something good and positive.
• Accompany and support your spouse.
17. 4. Pray daily
• Set the family altar as a daily top priority.
• Make the family worship a happy experience.
• Share the spiritual leadership.
18. Objectives of the family worship
• Educational
• Therapeutic
• Redemptive
19. To build a happy family could bring some
challenges, but the effort is worthy!
20. “A well-ordered, a well-disciplined family in the
sight of God is more precious than fine gold. . .
One well-ordered, well-disciplined family tells more
in behalf of Christianity than all the sermons that
can be preached.”
—Adventist Home, p. 32
