God calls disciples to do their best at whatever they do
(Colossians 3:23). For example, the Bible teaches disciples to be excellent
employees - to be honest, eager, productive and hard-working.
Family life
is another top priority. God desires that husbands and wives build the best
marriages possible with God at the center, whether or not their spouses are
disciples. Parents should rear their children in an atmosphere of love, teaching
them to love God, to love life, and to set great examples in their efforts
in the classroom and in other school and community activities.
Disciples
should love and honor their parents, even if their parents are not disciples
and are not supportive of their pursuit of God and their involvement in the
church.
Sadly, many people today have been affected by dysfunctional marriages
and families. One of the greatest joys of our fellowship is to see broken,
hurting marriages mended and healed through the power of the love of Christ.
We also strive to see children and parents reunited in love for each other
through the forgiveness and hope that Jesus brings into their lives. We teach
our couples to build close, loving marriage relationships and to raise their
children in a secure, loving family.
