How about wills and inheritance? These can cause a lot of unnecessary divide if done carelessly. Nobody wants that.

[Richard.20.12]

Christians sure don't discuss this much. Wouldn't it be good for a will to draw family together after your passing? Yet that rarely seems to be the case. Usually we hear of the tension and anger when people didn't get what they felt they deserved.
What would draw squabbling, resentful family members together so they could gradually forgive and move on? Or change so they are less disagreeable to others.
If a family communicates better and each respects the other a believer can draw family to Christ easier. And what's more important than that? If a few are convinced that's a powerful influence on the others.

Not really what your taking about but.. my dad had died my mom got remarried they were together for a long time but he got cancer and died. So I was there and his family was there. Bob (passed away) had a nice truck and the ones next to me were talking "I don't know what I am going to do I don't have a car for work and I need one". I said nothing... I moved to help my mom before he passed and he was grampa to my boys. Lol when even my mom didn't come over he did got to see Brandon walk for the 1st time. All that to say.. He left me his truck. I never even thought about it wanted it.. but yeah amp that up with a WILL oh boy

Which family? The People of God? Or the physical family?

Why is it a priority for a Christian to work for unity, in their extended physical family? They may not even be Christians.
