7. I will always make
myself available for prayer or Bible study discussion, or whenever a family
member wishes the privacy of more intimate dialogue.
Corresponding Blessing:
The spiritual well-being of my family is the key to the health of the
congregation, the neighborhood, and the nation. As I openly, patiently,
lovingly show my desire to engage in thoughtful discussion of biblical
truth centered around Jesus' commandments, such dialogue becomes more
frequent, easy, and helpful. No problem solution is beyond the authority
of truth found in the words and life of our perfect model, Jesus of
Nazareth.
8. I will always
work for the unity and preservation of our family because I know the divine
institution of marriage and family life is among the greatest blessings of
the human experience.
Corresponding Blessing:
As our family life surrenders to the discipling obedience of Jesus'
commandments, a dimension of harmony, peace and joy descends upon our
family, enabling us to live in the world, not with a spirit of fear, but
with a spirit of power, and of love and sound reasoning. The solid base of
security in our home, centered on biblical truth and the principles of
Jesus' authority, give us direction and purpose in the world. Truly the
divine institution of marriage and family life is among the greatest
blessings of the human experience.
As a family we become
committed to the work of "Becoming A Christ-Centered, Disciple-Making Church" and know
we must honor the working principle of EACH ONE, BRING ONE, EACH YEAR.
