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.

You know, there are genetic disorders that are passed on from generation to generation in a family line that makes certain people more prone to certain disease, certain maladies, certain things.

They're just, we have a proclivity for it because our ancestors did.

Well, may I say today that all of us have a

family disease? Every last one of us have a terrible disease. It's the worst. It's the worst

disease. It is the cancer of the soul. It is terminal. It is fatal. It is the disease of sin.

It began in our first parents in Adam and Eve, and it's passed on

from generation to generation. Romans 5 tells us that by one man's sin, many were made sinners.

By one man's disobedience, sin entered into the mainstream of humanity. It's passed on,

and we're all just sinners. And yet, aren't you glad that though we're

all sinners, our Lord is a great Savior? You don't have to wait to get to the New Testament to discover

that. That's revealed right in the beginning of the Bible and the book of beginnings in the book of

Genesis. We're in Genesis chapter four again today talking about this fresh start that is needed in every family.

You remember, Adam and Eve failed the Lord, Cain failed the Lord, Abel is killed.

Seems like the family is coming apart.

And then at the end of Genesis 4, we read this.

And Adam knew his wife again.

And she bare a son and called his name Seth.

For God, said she, hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel whom King slew.
