As we start, think about the foundation you're building your life and family on. Matthew 7:24-27 teaches us the difference between building on solid rock versus unstable sand.
1. **Vision in Parenting**: Focus on raising your children with a clear, Christ-centered vision that builds their lives on a strong foundation.
2. **Our Current Situation**: Recognize how societal changes and policies are threatening traditional family values and structures, and consider their impact on your family.
3. **Biblical Womanhood**: Embrace the God-given roles for men and women, understanding the unique contributions women bring to the family despite societal opposition.
4. **Family and Civilization**: Understand that strong family structures are vital to the stability of society, and that when families weaken, civilizations decline.
5. **Challenges for Women**: Acknowledge the difficulties women face but find strength and purpose in fulfilling the roles God has designed for them.
6. **A Call to Action**: Actively prepare your daughters for biblical womanhood, teaching them to be selfless, wise, and impactful in their families and communities.
