Grounded in God’s Word, we CAN have the solid foundation that leads to a healthy marriage and a united family. How? We let God change us from the inside out. First, He transforms our own heart, then that change alters the way we relate to our spouse, then that healthier marriage shapes the way we parent…and then that more stable family should affect the world around us. Inside out, get it? That’s the ripple effect.
Vertical then horizontal. We must learn to work on our relationship with God first, then our relationship to our spouse then to our children then to others around us. Step by step, ripple by ripple, we build this stable home with God leading, teaching and making The Way. The more solid families are, the more solid our society can become. This is what God wants, and so this should be our desire too. The truth is, He wants His children to work with Him to bring Him into this dark and lost world. Jesus, The Rock, come into us, stirs us, grows us to be more like Himself, then we can have stable marriages and that solid foundation for our families.
