Whether people realize it or not, they need to build their lives and the lives of their family around the church. It is:

A place where the family can learn how to live.

A place to find peace and joy for your family.

A place for your family to be encouraged.

A place to help your family through the grief of losing a loved one.

A place where your family can go for safe counseling.

A place to welcome your children into the world.

A place to minister to your family when they are sick.

A place to minister to you as you leave this world.

A place where your family can pray and get answers to life’s dilemmas.

A place of calmness to get away from the cares of the world.

A place of safety from the violence of the world.

A place to put your family’s energies to work in a positive direction.

You will never, I MEAN NEVER, go wrong by building your life and the lives of your family around the church and its ministries. However, you can go wrong by going another direction and it is usually too late when you discover that the broad way leads in a direction you do not want to go.
