Family Ministry

Went to a wedding in Abilene this weekend. Cousin got married. I wish them both a happy and blessed marriage. Chloe and Andrew, God bless you both. My son was the ring bearer. Someone asked him if he was getting married today and he replied, " No! I'm just a five year old kid." Don't you love the cute things children say. Marriage created by the creator Himself. Man and Woman. Why do people want to change what God has created? Why do people not understand that marriage is a life-time commitment? Why is it entered into lightly by so many? I believe marriage councelling should be done by ministers and councelors in the church. I believe the church should offer more marriage enrichment classes, parenting classes, and fincianial seminars for family. I believe the family should be ministered to and taken care of and strengthened by the church. Let us pray for those getting married, starting families, ministers, family ministers, christian councelors, youth ministers, church leaders that God will bless them in their work and lives.

  1. I am a counselor/minister and have married two different couples both of which have ended in divorced. I'll not perform another ceremony unless they go through some serious premarital counseling and I don't mean the cute and fuzzy kind. It's got to make them question their relationship

    I hardly leave a response, but I looked at a lot of remarks on "Family Ministry".
    I actually do have some questions for you if you
    do not mind. Could it be simply me or do some of these responses look like they are left by brain dead folks?
    :-P And, if you are writing on additional sites, I
    would like to follow you. Could you make a list of the complete urls
    of all your social community sites like your linkedin profile,
    Facebook page or twitter feed?
