要把全家带到主面前来
我盼望初信的弟兄姊妹看重这一件事。你一得救了，就必须把家里的人都聚集在一起，宣告说，“从今天起，我的家是属乎神的。”他们真的是属乎神的，你要这样宣告；他们还没有属乎神，你也要这样宣告。他们赞成，要这样宣告；他们反对，也要这样宣告。你是家长，必须这样作。同时们要抓住缰绳，我这一个家里的人，必定要事奉神。我告诉你们，当你凭着信心这样站住的时候，这件事就成功。
如果我们所救来的人，是一家一家的来，而不是一个一个来，这里面的分别不知有多大。我要告诉弟兄姊妹，千万不能放松家里的孩子，更正教有一个大败，容让他们信仰自由。天主教不必传福音，他们所生下来的，就已经比我们多。你们有没有看见，天主教的人像救世军那样在街上传福音？没有。他们是一代一代生下去，两个变四个，四个变八个。凡相信天主教的人的儿女，是天主教徒。他们不注重外面加进去。只要是生出来的，不管是真相信、假相信，总是拖在里面。难怪今天天主教的人，比更正教的人要多三倍，所以，千万不要放松，把我们家里的儿女漏掉了。
我再说，初信的人一起头就得这样宣告，我的一家是归于主的。不只我一个人是归于主的，我的一家都是归于主的。你要抓住这一个缰绳，然后这一件事就成功在你身上。你要常常在家里宣告说，我和我的一家，定规事奉耶和华。你们生活在这一个家里，你们必定要事奉耶和华。总要带领他们到主面前，一个也不给漏掉。
全家的得救，是一个最大的原则。你一个人得救，你全家就得救。在这一件事上，你一个人在神面前总得站住，然后你那一个家在神面前就改变。盼望我们注意这一个，这是特别蒙福的。这样作，就把更多的人带到主面前来。

Whole Household Saved (2) — Psa. 90:1
Bringing the Whole Family Before the Lord
I hope that new believers take this matter seriously. As soon as you are saved, you must gather your family members together and declare, “From today on, my household belongs to God”. If they truly belong to God, you should declare it; if they do not yet belong to God, you should still declare it. If they agree, declare it; if they oppose, declare it anyway. You are the head of the household, and you have to do this. At the same time, you must take hold of the reins and say, “The people in my house must serve God.” Let me tell you, when you take this stand in faith, this matter will be fulfilled.
If those we bring to salvation are household by household, instead of one by one, the difference is immeasurable. Brothers and sisters, we must never be lax in caring for the children in our family. Protestantism has suffered a great defeat by allowing them religious freedom. The Catholic Church, on the other hand, does not need to evangelize – its numbers naturally increase through birth. Have you ever seen Catholics evangelizing in the streets like the Salvation Army? No. They grow generation by generation: two become four, and four become eight. The children of Catholics are Catholics. They do not focus on bringing in outsiders. As long as a child is born into a Catholic family, whether they truly believe or not, they remain within the fold. No wonder today the number of Catholics is three times that of Protestants. So, we must not be careless and let our children slip away.
Once again, I say: new believers must declare from the very beginning, “My household belongs to the Lord”. Not just “I belong to the Lord”, but “My whole household belongs to the Lord”. You need to take hold of this rein, and then this matter will be fulfilled in your life. You must continually declare in your home, “As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord”. Those who live in this household have to serve the Lord. Always lead them before the Lord, leaving no one behind.
The salvation of the whole household is a fundamental principle. If you are saved, your whole family will be saved. In this matter, you must take your stand before God, and then your household will be transformed before Him. I hope we take this seriously, for it is a great blessing. By doing this, we will bring even more people before the Lord.
