During last Sunday's message, one of the things Pastor Tom said was that "the best thing you can do for your kids is have a great marriage." If you're married, you know that having a great marriage doesn't always come easy. When the going's tough, it means putting up a fight and sailing through the storm. And when the going's good, it's important to know that you're often dancing in a mine field!
A little while back I saw a video featuring a song that moved and encouraged me, and today I pass it along to you. If you're married, fight for your marriage! If you're single, start preparing to do so now! In the end, not only will the kids benefit, but the rest of your oikos will as well. God wants to use our marriages to doing something "supernatural and strategic" in the lives of the people around us. Remember that, collectively, we are the Bride of Christ. May this show within each home as it reflects in our marriages.
HDC’s ministry is designed to prepare individuals to engage their relational world, their oikos (the Greek word for “household”), with the tremendous news of God’s grace.
