Francis Chan on Marriage and Family
These are excerpts of a presentation by Francis and Lisa Chan on marriage and family called "Two People with One Mission". It was given on October 25, 2011 at Cornerstone Church of Simi Valley, California. Chan challenges the notion that we need to focus on the family. Instead, we need to focus on the kingdom of God and missions, and the unity and strength of our family will be the natural byproduct.

Paul Washer - Jesus Lived by the Spirit
Просмотров 1,4 тыс.12 лет назад
Paul Washer talks about two of the extremes that cause great damage to the church. While there is a dangerous movement toward mysticism without the framework of solid Biblical doctrine, there is an equally dangerous threat that attempts to remove the intimacy and guidance of God from His Church. We cannot fight the good fight without the power and guidance of the Holy Spirit as demonstrated in ...

    One of my biggest fear is people. Not that I'm not anti-social but their judgment or criticism or the way in which they view/see me. That brings a snare it says in the Bible. And believe me!! It is not only torment, it is a sin. We are to fear NO man, ONLY God himself (and that is in a reverential way or manner). I didn't realize this until I had to face adult bullies, agitators, antagonists....then I realized it.

      What does that mean in reality though? That you would neglect your kids for your spouse? What about the fact that that is illegal and legally child abuse? What kind of spouse would want you to neglect your kid in favor of them?

    • @sarayoung9395
      @sarayoung9395 3 года назад

      If it's not neglect against your child then in what way is your spouse really coming first? The Bible never actually says your spouse comes first people just interpret it that way. Malachi 2:15 actually says you are one because God wants Godly offspring from you. Why can't spouse and children be equally important? It just seems scary that if it came down to a meeting a true need (not wants) that a parent would want their spouse to take care of theirs instead of their kids. That's not what a true parent does.

Now I put God first then family and we are so very blessed in our marriage, parenting, finances, etc. I'm the head of the family only as I submit to God as my head. Less stress and sooooooooooo much more joy in life even thru the tough stuff. Please submit and be faithful to the Creator and He will be faithful to you.

    Amen! I think the best and really the only place for a couple to start if they want to serve God is to seek Gods will in everything. What does He want out of our lives as a couple? What is His will for us? Ask Him those questions. Wait for His answer and guidance. Then do whatever He leads to do. Its that simple. Not easy, but simple. That is what the christian life is. A lot of times we conduct our lives and marriages according to our own rules and our own wills but that is not following Christ. Following Christ is saying "Lord, what do you want? Okay thats what I want too." Whatever it is.

    You have to also be careful you don't start thinking that your own "works" will get you into heaven. If you are putting your hope about wether you'll "get in" or not into how "well" YOU followed Christ you should read the rest of the new testament where Jesus' chosen apostles help us put together the theology of our faith where the inspired word of God tells us "You are saved by grace through faith, not by works lest anyone should boast." If you want to boast before almighty, all-knowing, holy and loving and gracious and merciful God one day that you said his name a few times to others expecting him to be impressed, you might want to remember that Jesus said there will be a lot of people saying "we prophesied in YOUR NAME, and cast out demons in YOUR NAME and did many things in YOUR NAME" to whom HE will respond saying: "Depart from me, you workers of iniquity. I never knew you." Thus, in this statement I believe Jesus was trying to show people that if you put your hope in your own ability to follow Jesus rather than in HIS ability to save you, you might not even possess saving faith. If anyone thinks they are going to get INTO heaven because of their own works, TRULY consider the implications of what your own works are... Sure, maybe you told some co-workers about Jesus and went out on a mission trip and told people about Jesus. Good job...+ 2 for you. You have been sinning all of your life and for every one time you tell someone about Jesus I can almost guarantee that most of you will have had a lustful thought 10 times as much as you have told people about Christ. The point is, don't trust in your efforts to be righteous. Read the ENTIRE new testament and realize that the only way you become right with God is by placing your faith in what Jesus did for you....THEN follow Him because it's what you were born to do, not because you are paying for your salvation.

    Were it but true that this was your last sermon. How better off the world would be. A truer fraud I have not seen. Or heard. You? Afraid? That's a laugh. And a Lie. You say these seemingly vulnerable things to appear vulnerable and human to your unwitting flock. But you are a hard core fascist. As in, everyone who doesn't "confess Jesus" spends an eternity away from god. That's your thing and what excites you most. Spreading fear and making threats. And disingenuously so - as what you really wanted to say but had to hide your sadistically vile nature to again, appear human, is that these people are not just "separated from god" as you put it so dishonestly - no, they will be sucking down flames on the "lake of fire" for eternity. That's what you truly wanted to say. If anyone needs to practice dying, waking up and realizing that nothing he believed in nor professed had a shred of truth or reality to it, that person would be you. Jesus is myth, bunky. Do the research. Do the math. Not that it matters to you, for leading an adoring flock of blind sheep who heap praise on you is what you are all about. Ego. That's what Christianity is really all about. And you are its poster boy.

Abraham and Isaac both acted like cowards and said to their wives, "pretend your my sister so the men in the city won't kill me." Not being a coward isn't what saves us, believing on Christ as savior does.

    • @genegorrell296
      @genegorrell296 10 лет назад

      You make a very valid, worthy point. Nobody cares or understands what you're life involves more than God. He knows, understands, cares, and loves, without end. But when I read your comment, I couldn't help but care about your family too. My very limited experience and knowledge would indicate that God is very pleased about every sacrifice, act of love, and way of serving you give to your husband and children, because you are being obedient and faithful when you do. I think, in light of Jesus' words, "Seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you." In light of this, just continue to pray, "How can I, in my world, seek first the kingdom? What can I do to show the way? Who can I come in contact with that I can share my faith with?" And don't worry about what some may consider "limitations". You "limitations" not only lead you to show an extra amount of love to your family, but may lead you to meet someone who needs to know the real Jesus too. But I would hope you wouldn't take the message in an extreme directions one way or another, so as to lose the intent. If you mislead yourself into one extreme, you could make the mistake of giving less love to your family. My understanding is that we are unchained and unlimited in the amount of love we can pour into our spouses and children. If you take it to the other extreme, you may let yourself be misled into believing that you have no ability nor calling to be an ambassador for Christ outside the walls of your home. And you, and any other follower of Jesus is equipped to be an ambassador to their neighbor, however many chances one person may get to do so, or however few chances another gets to do so. The heart of the message is--like Francis said, "There's a King up there!", and we get to be a part of helping other people receive the love He so wants to give them, and that's really a lot of what seeking first the kingdom is really all about. And along the path of that journey, I believe Francis Chan is also hoping to communicate that your love and service to your family actually deepens, rather than suffers. The secular humanist world will tell you that's not possible. Don't buy into that. It's kind of like one of the many paradoxes of the Bible--the first will be last, the last will be first, the humble will be exalted, he who exalts himself will be humbled--Bible promises often completely reverse humanities logic. Honestly, when I'm giving my first to God, my wife and children get my best; but when I seek me first, or my wife, or my son's future, or money, I find myself actually letting down the very people that I've begun to prioritize ahead of God. That's the paradox part of it. It's not worldly logic. Just that you took the time to watch and comment shows that you care and want to give your best in the best way possible. I haven't been doing that for several months now in my own life, and I see the results, that my wife and my children are not receiving from me what they should be--because I have NOT been seeking first the kingdom. In any case, as Gideon was told to do, "Go in the strength your have." He wasn't told to measure up to anybody else, just "go" with what YOU have. Do what YOU can do. If you had a major disability, you would, for example, not likely "accomplish" some of the things that some people do when they seek first the kingdom, but you would still desire to and follow up on the plea to "Go in the strength you have." Jesus' blood covers whatever shortcoming you or I might think we have in the call to seek first his kingdom and is righteousness.

When others are hoarding for themselves, we are giving and pouring out our lives for others. That is what it means to follow Christ, to place your trust in Him.

    Is not solely about all these ritual things. Of course we must repent and all those. But let us not treat it as a chore, as an activity, as the sole purpose of Christianity. I believe God has so much more intended and not limited by all these things. Let's not limit God.
