The Family, The Heart of the Matter

The Family, The Heart of the Matter
Our world is in a state of crisis, and hardly anyone will deny this.

• This global crisis especially affects the family with great intensity.
• This is why the Holy Bible wisely says that “‘[the Lord] will turn the hearts of the fathers to their children’” (Malachi 4:6, NIV).

• Without sincere reconciliation within the family, no one can reconcile themselves to God.

• The Week of Spiritual Emphasis for the Family is the ideal environment in which to reach reconciliation.

• THE FAMILY: THE HEART OF THE MATTER is a valuable tool that enables every member of the church—pastors and laymen, parents and children—to fulfill their part in this sacred ministry of reconciliation.

The problems that distress our world have their origin in the family, because the family is the key to everything. The mission of the church to help the world be a better place starts with the improvement of the family. Let us save the family, and we will save the world.
