Kejadian 3:12

Our world is full of men, but God is looking for kingdom men who will rise up and take responsibility for their own actions, their families, their churches and their communities. When we have leadership like that taking hold, God will be magnified through every aspect of our lives.

Keluarga adalah rencana awal yang Tuhan sudah bentuk dalam penciptaan. Tuhan mengatur suami dan istri, beserta anak-anak menjadi keluarga yang mengasihi Tuhan dan menjadi berkat bagi orang lain. Biarlah renungan ini akan menguatkan kita untuk mengerti pentingnya mempunyai keluarga yang kuat.

These are unprecedented times for those of us who are alive on planet earth at this moment. Historically, we can find hope if we turn to the One who made it all and is Lord of all. What does the Bible say about why these things happen, what is God’s response to it, and what is my hope in life and death?

As New York pastor Rich Villodas defines it, a deeply formed life is a life marked by integration, intersection, intertwining, and interweaving, holding together multiple layers of spiritual formation. This kind of life calls us to be people who cultivate lives with God in prayer, move toward reconciliation, work for justice, have healthy inner lives, and see our bodies and sexuality as gifts to steward.
