CHARACTERISTIC OF CHRISTIAN FAMILY DAY

(1) A family that is truly Christian is Christ-like, which means that its members will treat each other as each would like to be treated.Christ taught this in Matt. 7:12, “All things therefore whatsoever ye would that men should do unto you, even so do ye also unto them: for this is the law and the prophets.” While Jesus commanded this for all relationships, it certainly would have special bearing within a Christian family.
(2) To each member of the family the acceptance of Christ (being a Christian ) will serve as a foundation on which the home is built.When I perform a marriage ceremony for two fine young Christians, I read several passages from the scriptures. At the end of the reading, I often say, “May the Lord bless this reading of his word. May the truths found in this Book be the foundation upon which you establish your home this night.” I know of no other foundation for a home to compare with the fundamental teachings of the Christian faith.
(3) The Christian family will worship together in public and in private. It is an inspiring thing to see families sitting together in public worship. Father, mother, and the children singing and praying and listening make a most heartwarming sight. It is also true that Christian families will read the scriptures and discuss spiritual truths in the home. What is more natural for them than to spend some time in study and prayer together in the home?
(4) The Christian principles by which the family is governed will give each member the power “to see it through” regardless of outside pressures. Serious illness may become a great burden to a family. Separation, as when a husband must spend two or three years away during war time, is a burden. Financial stress is often present. The basic principles of the Christian faith, however, give a family the deep roots which are necessary to face any and all of these outside pressures and to see it through.
(5) The Christian family shares every joy and blessing, as well as every burden and sorrow. Paul wrote to the Galatians, “Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.” (Gal. 6:2). A family is a place where each member rejoices in the successes and triumphs of each other member, and also where each shares in the disappointments and sorrows of each other member. Each is deeply concerned for the good of the others. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow wrote concerning our Lord’s concern for his mother, “Even he that died for us upon the cross, in the last hour, in the unfathomable agony of death, was mindful of his mother,
as if to teach us that holy love should be our last worldly thought--the last point on earth from which the soul should take its flight for heaven.” If Christ was so concerned for his mother’s care, surely we should be concerned for the care of the members of our families.
(6) The sense of belonging is a constant source of strength. Someone has said that loneliness is the most frightening feeling in the world. In a day when the population is ever increasing, it is a paradox that there is more loneliness than ever. The ties of love that bind a family together largely eliminate the feeling of loneliness.
(7) The Christian father will not provoke his children to wrath, but will nurture them in the chastening and admonition of the Lord. This charge was made by the apostle Paul to all Christian fathers in his letter to the Ephesians. (Eph.6:4)
(8) The Christian son and daughter will obey their Parents in the Lord. (Eph. 6:1-3). Jesus reaffirmed the ancient law: “Honor thy father and thy mother.” He strongly rebuked those scribes and Pharisees who sought loopholes in the law and ways of avoiding it. He said, “Ye have made void the word of God because of your traditions.” (Matt. 15:5).
(9) Open honesty and integrity, with a complete absence of the false front and hypocrisy, will characterize the Christian home, making possible complete confidence and trust. There is so much in the world that is artificial. So much is more sham and front. There is so much hypocrisy in the words and the actions of men. In the Christian home all of this is excluded. Here there must be complete honesty on the part of parents with children and children with parents.
(10) Parents will take time from their adult responsibilities to listen to children and to try to see things through their children’s eyes before making decisions. This is not to say that the children will make the decisions, but that parents will try to understand the feelings and needs of children and consider these, along with other factors which need to he considered, in making all decisions.
(11) False, critical, malicious judgments should be avoided so as not to alienate members of the Christian family. In Matt. 7:1-3, Jesus said, “Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured unto you. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considereth not the beam that is in thine own eye?”
(12) Since grudge-bearing is not be to tolerated, even toward enemies, it stands to reason that forgiveness, peace, harmony and understanding will prevail in the Christian home. Christ taught his disciples, “Ye have heard that it was said, Thou shalt love thy neighbor and hate thine enemy: but I say unto you, Love your enemies, and pray for them that persecute you ... ” Matt. 5:43-44). If Christ’s disciples are to love their enemies and to pray for them, surely this means that the behavior within the family would be on an even higher level of love and respect.
(13) Members of Christian families have a true sense of values. These values include such things as, “Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon the earth, where moth and rust consume, and where thieves break through and steal: but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth consume, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: for where thy treasure is, there will thy heart be also.” (Matt. 6:19-21). Also, “While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.” (II Cor. 4:18).
Christians have a solid set of values by which to measure everything and by which to make their decisions.
(14) Each, unlike those described by Paul as being “without understanding” (II Cor. 10:12), will know how to act in any situation. Because of the guidance and training in the home, children will know how to react to the temptations of the world about them. They will have understanding.
(15) The attitude of each member toward life and his preparation for life will assure his success. At the end of his great Sermon on the Mount Jesus said, “Everyone therefore that heareth these words of mine, and doeth them, shall be likened unto a wise man, who built his house upon the rock: and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon the rock.” (Matt. 7:24-25). Those who have been nurtured and grounded in the Christian faith from childhood up to maturity will have such attitudes, habits, and behavior patterns that they will be successful in relating to
other people, in earning a living, and in all aspects of life.
(16) Although the human element will remain in each, the Christian religion, being a religion of restraint, will enable the family, individually and collectively, to overcome evil with good rather than to be overcome of evil. Paul wrote to the Romans “Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.” (Rom. 12: 21).
(17) Younger members of the Christian family will not be enamored with conformity to the world (by which we mean sensual music, immodest dress, and rebellious behavior) because they have been transformed. Paul wrote, “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service. And be not fashioned according to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God.” (Rom. 12:1-2).
(18) In these days of drug use and sexual permissiveness, the Christian boy or girl will “abstain from the very appearance of evil” or “from every form of evil.” (I Thess. 5:22).
(19) In an age of civil disobedience Christians make the best citizens. To the Romans Paul wrote, “Let every soul be in subjection to the higher powers: for there is no power but of God; and the powers that be are ordained of God. Therefore he that resisteth the power, withstandeth the ordinance of God, and they that withstand shall receive to themselves judgment.” (Rom. 13:1-2).
(20) The Christian family shares one of life’s greatest commodities--hope--the hope of sharing eternal life in heaven with the Lord. Hope is “the anchor of the soul ... sure and stedfast.” (Heb. 6:19).

Kachin fighters claim Burma Army using chemical weapons

The Burma Army’s full-scale offensives are becoming greater than ever in Kachin State. The fighting seems vengeful as Burmese soldiers commit various crimes – such as looting, killing, raping and burning down the civilians’ villages – on the front line.  Actually, ordinary Kachin people are just innocent citizens of Burma and soldiers should spare their lives and properties.However, Kachin natives are singled out by the Burmese soldiers and they are not regarded as citizens of their own nation. It looks like the Burma Army has been launching a racial war. In frontline areas, Burmese soldiers are committing crimes freely as there are no effective or appropriate penalties set by senior authorities.
The worst and concrete evidence is that the wicked Burmese Army has used a mysterious chemical weapon in the recent offensive against Kachin rebels in Northern Burma, quoting victims’ suffering, Kachin News Group reported.
For more than a week, Burmese soldiers used the unidentified chemical weapon in three war zones — Christian Prayer Hill and Lung Zep Kawng in Ga Ra Yang village, and Shwe Nyaung Pyin village — against the Kachin Independence Army (KIA) on Myitkyina-Manmaw (Bhamo) Road in Waingmaw Township. Those events were narrated by KIA soldiers, who said they were under attack by poisonous gas.
On October 29, Burma Army troops fired two mortar rounds of chemical weapons on the People’s Army fighters under the KIA in Prayer Hill, said civilian fighters.
“Two rounds of chemical weapons were fired at us in Prayer Hill. There were seven of us present. Dark smoke billowed from the areas where the mortar shells landed,” La Gun, a civilian fighter and a victim of the chemical weapon told Kachin News Group on Sunday.
When the victims breathed the dark smoke, they felt extremely dizzy, found it hard to breathe, thirsty and vomiting for hours, according to one victim.
The same chemical weapon was used during the week-long fighting in Lung Zep Kawng last week, La Gun said. The same day, the chemical weapon was used by the Burmese Army in Ntap Bum battle zone, near the KIA headquarters Laiza. Four KIA soldiers suffered dizziness, fell on the ground and began vomiting for a long time, said eyewitnesses.
This act breaks the Geneva Protocol which banned use of chemical and biological weapons in both civil and foreign conflicts. President Thein Sein’s government has to take responsibility for the use of such chemical weapons.
Burma observers and analysts are confused over the war between the KIA and Burma Army. While the president is speaking about the importance of national unity, his army has been increasing the hostilities in ethnic areas.
Derek Mitchell, special U.S. envoy for Burma, said on October 17 that violence had continued against ethnic minorities and there were “credible reports” of continuing human rights abuses against women and children.
During a visit aimed at assessing the military-dominated nation’s bid for the ASEAN chair, Indonesian Foreign Minister Marty Natalegawa said on Saturday he urged Burma’s leaders to release more political prisoners and take greater steps to reconcile with restive ethnic groups. He also said that he expected progress in these areas before the country assumes the chair of ASEAN.
Burma’s democracy icon Aung San Suu Kyi made an appeal last July 28 for political talk and an urgent ceasefire between major ethnic rebel groups – Kachin Independence Organization, Karen National Union, New Mon State Party, Shan State Army – and government troops.
In her open letter to the new President Thein Sein, Suu Kyi offered to act as a mediator between the government and the ethnic rebels.
“National reconciliation cannot be accomplished by using military might. If stakeholders used the gun to solve out the disagreement, it will make disadvantage for all sides. To establish an authentic national unity, that will make safe the future of the Union, can only be accomplished through political dialogue,” the open letter says.
If the President Thein Sein truly wanted to recreate the country into a democratic and developed society, all the wars with respective ethnic rebels including KIA must be stopped at once. President Thein Sein should not say poverty alleviation while he has been launching civil war against ethnic groups that make the country underprivileged in the region.
Hence, it is really essential for the president to end the civil war, particularly the war against KIA.
If Burmese troops have used chemical weapons, the president must determinedly order them to stop immediately. By doing so, president has to show the country is on the right reform path.
Judgment to end civil war will also achieve wide-ranging support domestically and internationally.
