The Family Under Attack

Scripture Reading:  1 Timothy 3:2-5

Focus Verse:  Proverbs 12:7  "The wicked die and disappear, but the family of the godly stands firm."

It seems like today the family unit is under attack from every angle.  I believe that Satan knows how powerful a Christian family can be to the Kingdom of God.  We see pornography seeking to destroy marriages.  Unfaithful spouses bring HIV into the home.  The homosexual agenda is seeking to destroy the definition of marriage between one man and one woman as God intended.  There is a lack of love and honor in the home, but instead it is full of pride, always blaming the other person.  The father and mother are too busy to teach their children about God.  Satan aims many arrows at the family that he wants to destroy.

This coming September 20-21 we will hold a marriage conference in Kenya on Mfangano Island.  We recognize that to build a strong Christian community in western Kenya there needs to be strong Christian families.  The world today does not put very much importance on the family.  But God does.  Psalm 112:1-2 says,  "Praise the LORD. Blessed is the man who fears the LORD, who finds great delight in his commands. His children will be mighty in the land; the generation of the upright will be blessed."  There is a great blessing in store for the Christian family that is faithful to God.  We get our strength from the Lord to lead strong Christian families.  Join us for this marriage conference as we seek the Lord in building strong marriages and families.
