Resurgence for Family Restoration

Marriage was never meant as an end to itself. Rather, it was meant as a foundation for a family. One web ministry has focused on discipleship and families, and called this concept "The Resurgence."
"As the story of God begins to unfold, he reveals his greater intention for marriage... God's love for his people has always been steadfast and sure, and he holds fast to them in a permanent, exclusive, intimate, covenantal relationship. Vows and promises are the basis for a covenant. On a wedding day, the bride and groom make vows to one another, promising to love each other solely for a lifetime, regardless of circumstances... "
The problem is that God is good at keeping promises, while we are not. To find out what to do about his dilemma go to "Marriage is God's Story," at http://theresurgence.com/2011/04/07/marriage-in-gods-story.
Resurgence means a renaissance, a rebirth. It means there can be revival, new life, fresh hope. Does your family need a resurgence? Begin with your marriage. There is real hope. The Resurgence has more materials at http://theresurgence.com/categories/family. Additional resources are available at this site, including hot topics like sexuality and Christian hope, at http://sermons2.redeemer.com/sermons/sexuality-and-christian-hope, or how churches can make a difference at Redeemer Church at http://sermons2.redeemer.com/ where free sermons are offered.
Family restoration begins with a resurgence of faith, and a healthy view of marriage, as a foundation for that family. There is real hope. Join the resurgence.
