A Godly Offspring

This message by Gary Fraley is on the three biggest challenges to home education. Full of life stories about churches finding peace after 25 years of turmoil, or marriages being reunited in marvelous ways.

There's a lot going on for pastors these days. A single congregation represents so many needs. Various topics need addressed. And any given truth can be taken the wrong way by different people. How can we tell when we are doing our job as pastors?

God's intent. God's design. God's great mystery. That is marriage! And that's why the world cannot understand it. Yet for the same reason, followers of Christ can trust the marriage covenant. Two become one and God's image is expressed in its fullness. Here is cause for rejoicing.

The world pulls in many directions. God pulls in one direction. When you feel pulled in different directions, or that you and your wife are going in different directions, or that the family is split, or ... that is the time to let the peace of God "umpire".
