The Importance of Understanding Your Family History

“Tugging at his beard, pondering several millennia past, the grey-headed patriarch picked up his pen. His heart raced as he saw what lay before him. For many years he had been painstakingly working on a sacred volume, a history. Many a scroll were filled with his writings. He had spent more hours than he could count perfecting each parchment. Each line he had meted out with care. And now his labors were coming to an end. The story of his ancestors, his family history, was almost complete.”

One of the more important principles communicated in the Bible—a principle which is at the heart of true family reformation—is the vision of multi-generational faithfulness in Christ. Vision Forum Ministries team member Wesley Strackbein offers these powerful insights on the necessity that multi-generationally-minded Christians understand the providence of God in their own family history. Consider making this article your reading for family devotions today or tomorow.
