Family living that has a solid foundation of love beneath it will last a lifetime.
°
People have, over the past 2000 years have heavily indoctrinated the Bible and made what Jesus taught as book learning, traditions, ceremonies, courses, religious activities etc.
°
The huge expansion of Christianity in the 1800’s worldwide was an attempt to help people as an act of love. This has largely been ignored by modern religious people because they are insecure and embedded in worthless paperwork, and churches being run like businesses.
The modern Christian Church and family suffer because they too have been embedded into paperwork and pointless courses, studies and doctrines that were formed by human beings and lead people away from the whole point of the Bible, “Love”.
°
Mark Chapter 16, verses 14-15:
Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen.
And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
The 11 sat to eat meat and Jesus told them off for their unbelief and their hardened hearts.
This is the interesting part, different than the Book of Matthew
“And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.”
°
God is love.
The Gospel means “The Good News”.
You cannot preach to a dog or cow, but you can show the animals love and compassion, goodwill and kindness.
The Good News to the animals is being treated fairly.
Spreading the Gospel means sharing love and compassion to “all”, not just who we choose to be nice to.
°
The Good Samaritan had no idea who he was helping. The injured person could have been a rapist, homosexual, child abuser, sex addict, drug and alcohol abuser, it didn’t matter to the Good Samaritan. What mattered was that the Good Samaritan’s heart and soul ached in sadness to see someone suffer, so he spread the Gospel of love (God is love) by being a ‘doer of the word’ and helping a fallen person ‘without any judgement of any kind’.
°
In the home life “love” needs to be the keyword. Marriage counseling, courses, love lessons, and sex counseling and courses cannot fix a sick marriage built on the foundation of lust, spiritual weaknesses, unfair advantage over others, bullying, narcissism etc.
°
Just as we are supposed to love all creatures, we are supposed to love and cherish our husband or wife and children, animals etc.
°
God’s version of love and marriage is completely fair and “just”, and built on a solid foundation of trust.
°
When the husband and wife know right from wrong, then they know that to do wrong will only bring bad to the family. “What we sow we will reap”
Please consider thinking of it this way. As the man and woman walk through life they get a choice of what rules that their home needs. If they are wise they will realize that choosing any of the negative tools will cause a negative affect on the family home and life. Wisdom clearly states that the husband and wife choose only Just, righteous, and fair ways to do things.
°
The Bible has many rules, stories etc to guide us. Good common sense and genuine love will stop the husband or wife from ever trying to take advantage of one another or of taking advantage of their own children.
These two can expect a good life ahead, because there will be very little that either of these two will do that will bring sadness and suffering on their homes and families.
°
The key to happiness is two people that God put together spiritually into marriage, and who follow the ways of God with deep love for each other and their own children, and for others.
°
If genuine heart-felt love comes your way it is bound to come with issues, struggles and challenges, but that is because evil does not want you to be happy so evil will user people and trickery to keep true love apart. Evil will get people to tell you that your true love and happiness is impossible and trouble, that is obvious, because evil wants the worst for you.
* Jonathan Swift said that we will know a genius by those who gather against him.
* You will also know a great marriage by all those who rally up against it.
°
Courage, faith and trust is the only way to secure for your own future true love and happiness.
°
It is important that young people see the value in being careful, and to live for the hearts sake and not for the love of material gain, popularity etc.
We must continue to teach the spiritual values that hold a marriage together and then our own children’s marriages will stay together and happiness will bless their lives.

All the best from
