FAMILY Part 1: Family First or First God? — Crossroads Church
August 23, 2018 - It comes from one of my favorite verses in the Bible: Matthew 6:33, “Seek first the kingdom and His righteousness and all these things will be given to you as well.” One of our common mistakes is to put family first.

What does the Bible say about family conflict?
I think this is a pretty complex issue depending on what your situation is. My first thought is like you said, honor them. You have a certain responsibility during seasons of life to take care of them (1 Tim. 5:4, 8). But sometimes I think we have to remember who it is we are trying to serve. Matthew 10:37-39. We can’t love anyone more than God or put them above our service to God. And of course, if they’re negatively influencing you, that’s a whole other issue. More on reddit.com

Are there any Bible verses explicitly talking about the relationship between parents and children?

Here are a few:

"Honor your father and your mother: that your days may be long upon the land which The Lord your God gives you." EXODUS 20:12

"Children, obey your parents in all things, for this is well pleasing to the Lord. Fathers, do not provoke your children, lest they become discouraged." COLOSSIANS 3:20-21

"Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. “Honor your father and mother,” which is the first commandment with promise: “that it may be well with you and you may live long on the earth.” And you, fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath, but bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord." EPHESIANS 6:1-4

"For God commanded, saying, ‘Honor your father and your mother’; and, ‘He who curses father or mother, let him be put to death.’ " MATTHEW 15:4

"*Hear me your father, O children, and do thereafter, that you may be safe. For the Lord has given the father honor over the children, and has confirmed the authority of the mother over the sons. He who honors his father makes an atonement for his sins: And he who honors his mother is as one that lays up treasure. He who honors his father shall have joy of his own children; and when he makes his prayer, he shall be heard. He who honors his father shall have a long life; and he who is obedient to the Lord shall be a comfort to his mother." * SIRACH 3:1-6

*He who fears the Lord will honor his father, and will do service to his parents, as to his superiors. Honor your father and mother both in word and deed, that a blessing may come upon you from them. For the blessing of the father establishes the houses of children; but the curse of the mother roots out foundations. Glory not in the dishonor of your father; for your father's dishonor is no glory to you. For the glory of a man is from the honor of his father; and a mother in dishonor is a reproach to the children. * SIRACH 3:7-11

"My son, help your father in his age, and dont grieve him as long as he lives. And if his understanding fail, have patience with him; and dont despise him when you are in your full strength. For the relieving of your father shall not be forgotten: and instead of sins it shall be added to build you up. In the day of your affliction it shall be remembered; your sins also shall melt away, as the ice in the fair warm weather. He who forsakes his father is as a blasphemer; and he who angers his mother is cursed by God." SIRACH 3:12-16
