La Familia: Fighting for Family

Published on: 27/05/2025

There is a real spiritual battle happening that directly impacts our families. Ephesians connects family teachings with spiritual warfare because raising a God-honoring family is itself spiritual warfare. We must recognize that people aren't the enemy—spiritual forces are. God provides specific armor for this battle: the belt of truth, breastplate of righteousness, shoes of peace, shield of faith, helmet of salvation, and sword of the Spirit. Through prayer and putting on God's armor, we can take spiritual authority within our families and fight effectively in the unseen realm.

La Familia: The Framework for Parenting

Biblical parenting requires a delicate balance of nurturing spiritual growth while maintaining healthy boundaries. Parents are called to focus on spiritual formation over worldly success, avoiding actions that provoke children to anger while bringing them up in godly discipline. Children, in turn, are called to practice attentive obedience and honor their parents. This framework emphasizes Christ-centered parenting that prioritizes both spiritual and physical wellbeing, teaching biblical principles, and modeling Christ-like behavior, rather than focusing on personal comfort or needs.

La Familia: God Blueprint for Marriage

Published on: 05/05/2025

Biblical marriage thrives on three essential principles: mutual submission, oneness, and the love-respect dynamic. Mutual submission requires both spouses to honor each other while putting God first. True unity encompasses spiritual, emotional, and physical connection between two whole individuals. The love-respect dynamic recognizes that women primarily need love and security, while men need respect and leadership. When these principles are absent, relationships can suffer from control issues, passivity, and loss of balance. These principles benefit both married couples and singles preparing for future relationships.
