“And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise. Deuteronomy 6:6-7 (ESV-Bible, 2001)

The fire of spiritual concern about the condition of the family it needs to be rekindled, knowing the priorities that it should be attended, because if this is not done, once again it will fall into the situation of doing the same thing over and over; and never do something innovative that without doubt it can be the answer to the problems existing in many families today.
