The Weekly Challenge

I am highly disappointed that Google is having issues and I am unable to upload the "Mawwage" scene from "Princess Bride."


I am not however disappointed in the great conversation we had in class last night.  We took a close look at the Creation process in Genesis 1 and 2 and took a dive into how deliberate God was in His creation of marriage and the family.  We talked about how marriage and family is an essential part of our faith because it is a physical picture of the Trinity, God's relationship to us, Jesus' relationship to us and our relationship with fellow believers.


Therefore, Satan took no time at all attacking the first married couple and subsequently their children.  And he relentlessly attacks marriages and the family today.  We discussed that these attacks essentially involve 2 key ingredients:  Satan's lies and our pride/selfishness.


The Challenge:
What are the lies you struggle with? 
Ask God to reveal those lies and the truth to combat them. 
Study the Word to hide the Truth in your heart.
Ask God to give you and your spouse the courage to be completely naked and exposed to one another.
Stand strong and fight for your marriage and the marriage of others.


In Him,
Aaron
