It isn’t hard to find angry kids and disillusioned adults that are the result of broken families and busted marriages. Sadly, we have allowed the precious God-ordained institutions of marriage and family to deteriorate before our eyes. Media, entertainment, government policy, materialism, hyper-sexuality, and other cultural values and customs, coupled with our own propensity toward self-centredness, have served to make home life a tough slog.
But it is possible to have an awesome family. Despite these obstacles, every child from a broken home can choose a different path, and every adult with fears or doubts about marriage can build one that lasts. This seven-message series will help us to pursue God’s plan for our family relationships. Married, single, adult, child—no matter your life situation—as we examine his Word, we will find the necessary principles to be The Fam that God intends us to be.
