When You’ve Been Wronged
Conflict in relationships is inevitable, but healing and reconciliation often is not. Time and again we've tried every option and failed, and all we are left with is a load of guilt and pain. Pastor Erwin Lutzer shows how the blessing the Lord gives to those who suffer unjustly is worth the pain involved. He also illustrates the need to leave our broken relationships in the hands of God and move forward in our lives toward freedom.

When it comes to family life, the Bible shows us both the good and bad. Dads can avoid the bad if they make peace with the mistakes of their fathers, forgiving them and resolving to be godly examples for their own kids.

Ancient fortresses had walls, gates, and guards. It’s high time for dads to put on some armor and start protecting their kids against those who want to corrupt them. Fathers, are you ready for a real challenge?
January 11, 2019
