We say that we care about many things, but it is not enough just to care. We must care enough!
If I asked church members, "Do you care about your church?" they would say, "That's a foolish question. Sure, I care about my church."
If I asked parents, "Do you care about your home and what happens to it?" they would answer, "Sure! That's a foolish and superfluous question to ask."
If I asked the man of the house, "Do you care about your wife? Your children and how they turn out?" he would answer, "Why ask that dumb question? Sure, I care about my wife and children."
If I asked a wife, "Do you care about your husband and your home?" she would say, "What a foolish question. Sure I care about my husband and my home."
If I asked children, "Do you care about your parents?" they would answer, "Sure I care about my parents."
If I asked the church, "Do you care about all the little children in your church?" the answer would be, "Sure we care about them."
We say we care about many, many things; but the question comes back to us: Do we care enough?"
Do You Care Enough About Your Family?
Husbands and wives, do you care enough about your spouse to be true to each other? To tell each other you care? To live right for each other? Do you care enough to tell each other every day, "I love you"?
I hear some husbands say, "She knows that. I told her that a long time ago!" Don't you think she'd like to hear it again? Don't you like to hear that God loves you?
Husband, do you care enough to take the leadership role, or do you leave that up to her or someone else?
You say you care about your spouse, but do you care enough to live a godly life before each other and do the things that you ought to be doing for each other?
You say that you care about children, but do you care enough to live the kind of life you should before them? Do you care enough to take them to church and to hold the church and preacher in high esteem?
It's not enough just to care; you have to care enough!
