It's been a rough couple of weeks, personally, for the family and I. While the church continues to do well, survive the holiday melee, and build excitement for the many new outreaches and ministries, the family has been the victim of much turmoil and drama. It seems that every time we try to make time for the "us," Satan attacks us with horrible weather, sickness, or calamity.
It is not easy to protect the sanctity or priority of family, but we know it is a biblical priority. As important as the church and ministry may be, the relationship between husband and wife, parents and kids, is paramount. Paul commands Timothy that all leaders of the church must first be exemplary leaders of their homes (I Tim. 3). To fulfill this qualification takes time and effort exclusively and habitually.
Please pray that the Lord will triumph over the works of the enemy, and that the family will be free to minister one-to-another. Please know that we are praying the same for you!
Thank you always!
