The importance of family

Families are very important to God. They help people through life. Unfortunately, many forces in our society, as well as Satan, work to break up families. The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette recently ran a story about Eric Chandler and Julie Powell, a couple who has been off and on for 16 years. They finally are going to get married, thanks to God speaking to Chandler in Dec. 2005:

'I truly believe, in our on-and-off relationship, we've learned a lot being by ourselves and then breaking up and seeing other people,' he says. 'I was by myself and God spoke to me and said, 'You need to take care of your family.''

It's important for men to be rocks for their families. God put us in place to lead our families, and we need to be there for them.
