Remember the objective. The first stage of parenting is to make self-controlled children who live joyfully under life-giving authority. If we can keep the unity of command, maintain our lines of communication, concentrate our forces, and stay mobile, victory is to be had. But the victory is not through our own doing, it is the work of Jesus Christ our Savior. For indeed, this is entirely an effort in faith. We live in faith and we parent in faith. Enjoy session 4 of 7 from Grace Agenda 2022 Main Conference in Moscow, ID. The last several years Christ Church has tried an experiment in grace and has not charged for the Grace Agenda conference. In keeping with this spirit of grace, we are accepting free will donations at https://www.graceagenda.com/donate. — When a man and woman say, “I do,” they are launched together into a grand adventure with numerous unexpected twists and turns. Along with all the blessings from marriage, there are also sleepless nights with crying babies, expensive car repairs, burnt dinners, potential drama with extended family, and turmoil in the world. The world thinks that when a marriage is confronted with hardship, either spouse can push the emergency eject button and simply move on due to “irreconcilable differences.” But Christian couples are commanded, in sickness and health, riches and poverty, good times and bad, to display the glory of Christ and the church. To do this takes gritty faith, covenant fidelity, and joyful forbearance. Grace Agenda 2022: Marriage Bootcamp aims to equip Christian couples to ride into the turbulence of the world in which we live with a fearless resolve to glorify God in their home and so advance the kingdom of God in the midst of the smoking crater that is Western Civilization. — Download the ChristKirk app: https://bit.ly/christkirkapp. For more information about Christ Church please visit our website: https://christkirk.com. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RR_4Zkx79FY
