CA C Family Life Pledge
The Christian Family
is the visible pattern to the Body of Christ ; the head of every man is Christ, the head of a wife is her husband, and the head of Christ is God . Children are to follow the example of Christ-like love set by their parents, and every member of the family is to love and submit to one another out of reverence for Christ
Families are to come together as one to interact with, serve and nurture one another in love, through family worship and prayer, so that as a family, they may bear witness to Christ from generation to generation .
Pledge of a Christian Marriage
Marriage was established by God since the beginning when He created mankind . We believe in the sanctity of the marriage covenant between a man and a woman before God and expressed in mutual love and mutual support, in personal commitment, and as shared lifelong fidelity.
Biblical Role of a Husband / Father
As a husband and/or father, I am responsible for the physical and spiritual needs of my family – to provide love, warmth, comfort, security and to exercise the gifts given to me by God, by serving and inspiring the family to live their lives to the fullest and to empower them to fulfil God’s mission for them .
I aim to put God first in my life, and by doing so, manage marriage, family life and parenting, with a good balance of work life, ministry involvement, and personal growth . I shall give my all to bring glory to God and be a good role model to future generations .
Biblical Role of a Wife / Mother
As a wife, I love my husband with all my heart, and will be a good companion to him, and do all I can to create a happy and harmonious environment for the family I shall turn to the Lord in prayer and trust in the Word for guidance for myself and my family.
As a mother, I shall do my best to nurture my child(ren), and use my utmost ability to develop the heart and mind of my child(ren), guiding them to discover the unique gifts that God has given to them, and to fear God
Biblical Role of Children
As a child I am a blessing from God to the family, church and society .
I hold a child - like faith I am willing, through learning and discipleship, in humility, trust, servanthood and obedience, to discover the truths of God’s kingdom .
I am the agent of God’s transformation of individuals, families, communities and nations .
I will honor my parents with respect and love, share in household needs and care for them in their old age .
Conclusion
Each Christian family shall accept and love one another according to the gifts granted by God and be submissive to one another out of reverence for Christ .

经文 Scripture: Psalm 90
Discussion Questions
1. Death sets a limit to our lives and stimulates reflection on the context of life, which is not death but God. In verses 1–2, how does the psalmist set death within his view of God?
2. Review the basis of verse 3 in Genesis 2:7 and 3:17–19. How does the knowledge of your mortality affect the way you live your life?
3. Luther commented on verse 12: “Lord, teach us all to be such arithmeticians!” What does it mean to number our days aright?
4. This prayer brings our mortality into focus. But it does far more it brings God into focus. Study the verbs in verses 14–17. What emerges as most essential for you the things you do for the rest of your life or what God will do in your life? Explain.
