Note: This is the second in Mike’s series on “The Power of Time.”

This lesson focuses on the importance of family time. Given the influence that mom and dad have on their children’s lives, is it possible to overestimate the value of “family time?”

Most people understand the value of family, but many are willing to prioritize other things ahead of family – job, career, income, etc. It has been said that the time you don’t spend with your children is the greatest threat to your family.

Are we listening to the world, or are we listening to God?
