Rev. Ngaihte made us cleared that the very first institution God designed for mankind was the family. Father, mother and children compose this God ordained institution. When God looked upon everything that He had made, He obviously included the family unit, and declared that it was good.

The Lord is our God, the Lord is one! You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. These words, which I am commanding you today, shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your sons 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 up. You shall bind them as a sign on your hand and they shall be as frontals on your forehead. You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates” Deuteronomy 6:4-9.
