Miles Apart In The Same House (Till Death Do Us Part)

October 31, 2021

Fractured, stressed, broken, dysfunctional…all these words describe the state of the family today. This chaos is often rooted in failed communication in marriages. The communication issue goes all the way back to the Garden of Eden. Shame, the fear of rejection, and blame are all brought to light in Genesis 3 with Adam and Eve. Like them, we manipulate each other to meet our own needs, rather than loving our spouse through meaningful communication—a love that reflects God’s own character.

When the rough spots come, and they will, how do married couples make it? In marriage, we might try to avoid dealing with conflict or taking responsibility for our sin. But without true communication or humility, our marriage bond is ruined, and we miss out on God’s blessing. As Ephesians 5 describes, God designed marriages more to develop character than to ensure a lifetime of happiness.

Many couples have prenuptial agreements to divvy up their possessions should the marriage fail. What hope is there for a lasting marriage? With a vision of purity and honor, God’s Word counters the lies we want to believe about marriage. Pastor Lutzer debunks five prevalent myths promoted in today’s culture—which lead to broken marriages. The Bible tells us how marriages can last, come what may.

While the world continues to undermine marriage, Pastor Lutzer asks us, “How can we build an enduring marriage?” What keeps a couple together for decades, surviving war, immigration, deprivation, and material want? Let’s hear about the parents of Pastor Lutzer, as he tells their story of 76 years of marriage in Canada. He lists five biblical principles that kept his parents together through thick and thin.

The breakdown in society correlates with the breakdown of the family as well as the increase in sexual and other forms of abuse we see. Our enemy Satan seeks to attack the family and our souls in any way he can. Demonic lies and influences leave behind a trail of destructive choices and actions. Families and victims are then left broken in sin and dysfunction. But God can turn victims into victors.

When your family is destructive or abusive, it’s easy to feel completely alone. Look no further than the pages of Scripture to see families scandalized by abuse and its dysfunction. This leads to a crushing shame—not from a good conscience embarrassed by sin but from a broken spirit weighed down by patterns of sin. In this message, we’ll see how Jesus can make the soul whole and minister to the brokenhearted.

Do you ever wish your story could be rewritten? Sexual abuse does terrible damage. Relationships suffer all throughout the victim’s life due to early experiences children should never have. But Christ offers hope for the abused, and even for the abuser. In this message, you can find freedom from your painful past.

Does happiness seem elusive in marriage? God’s purpose for marriage is our holiness. Yet in a time when divorce is so prevalent, how can we love like God wants us to love? In this message, we learn it’s never too late to take responsibility for our sins, communicate with our spouses, and forgive them as Christ has forgiven us.

Even with good Christian parenting, some children still walk away from the faith. Have you been praying with desperation for their restoration? Sometimes God seems silent when we pray, but that doesn’t mean He’s indifferent or uncaring. Our children are in God’s hands—and only He can change a prodigal’s heart, and us in the process.

The dark secret in all too many families is abuse. It takes several forms: verbal, physical, even sexual. The hurt caused by abuse is incalculable, both for the abused and the abuser. The devil seeks to destroy the family, especially the role model of the father. And the devil uses abuse to accomplish this goal. If you are a victim, or a victimizer, it is crucial to understand the hurt of abuse—and how to find healing.

In the old days, people would sit and talk. Now, people are much more inclined to stare at a screen. Technology, though valuable, is used by the enemy to addict all of us and steal time better used for each other—and for God. In this message, we’ll cover the daunting task of protecting your family from the evils of a technology that can also be used for good.
