Police were summoned to the Camillus, New York
home after receiving a call from one side of an altercation in late
May 2018. Upon arrival they were faced with a heated dispute between
a 30-year-old son and his parents. His parents had won a previous
court decision that their son could no longer live in their
basement. The son was finally collecting up his belongings and
complying with the court order when the dispute escalated.
As members of the press gathered to witness and
report on the dispute, the son informed them that he had called
police when his parents refused to hand over their grandchild's, the
complainant's 8-year-old son’s, Lego set (dailywire.com).
No family is perfect because all families are
composed of people, mortal creatures marred by sin (Romans 3:23).
Yet, every family has a perfect pattern for assembling the divinely
ordained building blocks freely available in the pages of scripture.
Through inspiration the Apostle Paul clearly laid out the essential
foundation for the family as he argued for Jesus’ relationship with
the church He established in Acts 2. Within the roles of husbands
and wives (Ephesians 5:22-33), and of parents with children (6:1-4),
Paul saw this blueprint for a successful family: “just as Christ
also loved the church and gave Himself for her” (5:25).
