In our busy world, family time frequently gets neglected.

It is vital that we give attention to our families while we can,

and it is especially important to give attention to what God says in his word about our homes. For the next few minutes, let's join Scott Pauli, as we open the scriptures and find God's message for your family.

If you're going to build a house, then you better have a good foundation.

And, friend, if you're going to build a home, you better have a foundation in God and in God's word.

Remember the Lord Jesus talking about the difference between the man who built on the sand and the man who built on the rock?

Well, the rock is God. The rock is God.

The rock is God's truth and God's word and God's way.

And so today I'd like to talk to you about a foundation we can all build on.

Genesis, of course, is the foundational book of our Bible.

It is the book of beginnings.

It is God's first revelation of himself and his first revelation of his great plan for mankind. So if you come to the book of

Genesis, to the opening chapters where God begins with man, you're going to find some beginning

principles, Bible principles that you can build on. They're so basic. They're so

beautiful. Let me give them to you. First of all, in Genesis chapter number one, we read this in

verse 27. So God created man in his own image. In the image of God, created he him, male and female

created he them. Now let's pause just a minute. That means that

every member of your family is created by God and bears God's image made in the image of God. Yes,

that image has been marred by sin. Yes, we do not often reflect the image of our creator as we should.

And yet I'll remind you that every man and every woman,

every adult and every child is made in the image of God.

Don't ever forget that.
