What pastors are saying
“Your approach to family has nothing to do with who is in your family, and everything to do with Jesus.”
“He doesn't explode the family. He doesn't nullify it, but he does expand it. He says: if you do the will of God, then you are in my family.”
“I'll tell you, the family: you take care of God's business, and He'll take care of your family.”
“Do you believe we're a family here because God lives in each and every one of us? Doesn't that give you more mercy and more grace for people around you?”
“Your relationships with your family tell the world around you what you actually believe about the God who has saved you.”
