[CS-FSLUG] God's plan for the family.

Wed Jan 12 23:48:49 CST 2005

Up until the financial request, a very good message. I have confessed in the past that things were "backwards" and yet now Hope and I are looking at our third anniversery in another seven or eight months. We have a healthy little boy whom we love very much and I am praying for long and happy marriage. I love my wife dearly and I give God thanks for her and also for his forgiveness.

Pax,

Christopher Rose

> The Book of Genesis clearly lays out God's plan for the family.  One man,

> God's plan for a family is NOT a man and a woman living together without

> God's plan for a family is NOT two women living together.  These are

> The reason is God's plan for the family WORKS!  By far the biggest

> this is part of His plan for your life.  You go through a period of
> pre-marital counseling with your pastor.  Once you BOTH know that this is
> what God wants for your life, you GET MARRIED.
> 
> In living together there is no real commitment.  You are living in rebellion
> to God's plan so you live outside of His blessings.  Sex becomes part of
> this relationship and now you are involved in even more sin.  You simply
> cannot
> choose to ignore God and expect Him to bless you for sinning!  Instead of
> God's blessings, you live with the consequences of your rebellion to God.
> The spiritual and practical consequences of rebelling against God can
> literally destroy your life!  Never forget, that is the goal of the enemy,
> to KILL, STEAL, and DESTROY!
> 
> I love you and care about you so much.  To the young adults reading this, I

> Life works when we do it God's way.  Does that mean life is perfect?  Of
