On July 4, 1776, the founders of our country sat down and penned perhaps the greatest charter in the history of mankind The Declaration of Independence. This incredible document set forth the foundational vision for what would become the greatest nation the world has ever known. These men not only wrote down what they planned to do. They penned the reasons why and the core convictions that were to be the bedrock for generations to come.
The principle still stands when you want to pass something on to generations to come, it must be written down in a way that can never be disputed. And more importantly, you must nail down what you believe and your priorities as the leader of your home. Begin with the following details, and begin your Family Charter today:
This is what I believe about the institution of marriage:
This is what I believe about I believe about the sanctity of life:
This is what I believe about God and Christianity:
This is what I believe about giving to others:
Pray about these and other foundational issues. Then set forth a final charter showing what you believe and why. Once this is accomplished, you have an amazing springboard from which to launch every family goal from this point on!
