L, the merits of a good book, last week at Kinsmen Park. enlightens children about FAMILY UNDER ATTACK Submitted by: Pastor McGougan of New Life Assembly has been no time in the history of mankind where there has been such a blatant attack on the family as we know it. “Family Values” which was once associated with wholesome Godly living is now more readily connected to the “Adams Family” or some archaic restrictive and outdated life style. Now I will defend and declare our need to respect the right of everyone to believe as they choose & to express their viewpoint as loudly as the wish. But for us to rollover and play dead and to sit back and moun the loss of that which we hold so dearly without taking an active stand for that which we believe will guaran- tee the erosion of our value system before our very eyes. The bible defines family in the context that we are talking about in terms of husband, wife and child relation- ships. It includes both blood and adopted relationships. It describes family and home as a place of safety, com- fort, a place of training in righ relationships, respect, responsibility, rest and a place of fulfillment. The crowning act of God's creation was man and woman. They were created in the image of God to be in open with God himself.“They were created to be together, to bear children and to live in ” right relationship with one another. That relationship was designed for the benefit of mankind and to be an exam= ple of and a teacher of how we are to relate to and to communicate with => God himself. Billy Graham goes so far as to say that the highest exp of that is found no where cise but in the family and specifically in the husband and wife relationship. He went on to say that if biblical were fe caren oreo gnrmnnchenreieieinrye erhesiny: lates, Sommerer acre North American homes is because we have departed from the family principal in the Word of God. So what do we do about the chall of building strong families in a society that is suffering from an “Epidemic of Brok ”. If the foll g five principals were followed and adhered to our struggling fam- ilies of the 90’s would see dramatic transformations. I make no apology in declaring that to the degree to which we leam to develop and apply these principals in our family relationships so will go our families. Track, Renegades, Rebels and Rogues.
