SAFE AND SECURE WITH FAMILY

1 John 5:18

We know that those who have become part of God's family do not make a practice of sinning, for God's Son holds them securely, and the evil one cannot get his hands on them.

Have you ever heard of a newlywed couple that took the time to plan for a future divorce while on their honeymoon? Me neither. Typical newlyweds talk about the future, how many kids to have and when (or sometime if) they want to have a baby. Honeymoons are about celebrating the promise of the future. They are about making plans to build a strong, loving, caring and beautiful family. They're rarely ever about planning to have a broken family. So for that matter, where did divorce come from? In the book of Matthew, the Pharisees asked Jesus about divorce and why God allowed for it. Jesus responded in Matthew 19:8 by saying that, "Moses permitted divorce as a concession to your hard-hearted wickedness, but it was not what God had originally intended.” Divorce is not part of God’s plan. It’s a result of the free will of man. The solution to avoid divorce is to make your family a family of God. Be a part of the family of God and your family will be safe and secure in His hands.
