The Bible paints the ideal and the ugly reality of family life. David read Joseph’s story, smarted under scornful brothers and agonized over his dysfunctional children yet wrote ‘how good and pleasant it is when brothers dwell in unity’: Psalm 133:1. Sibling rivalry is ancient and everywhere; since Cain and Abel, it still ruins homes close to yours… When the culture vaunts individualism, how do you work with family to share care for infirm parents or cope with tensions over inheritance? Dare we expect the Bible to speak into family life? Would we heed it if it did?
