The Lord Saves Not By Sword or Spear: Family Reflection Video

The Lord Saves Not By Sword or Spear: Family Reflection Video

Healing the family

There is a message for all of us today who feel overwhelmed and powerless.

It is almost impossible today to avoid the many stories of pain and hurt that overpowers the lives of both loved ones and strangers. For some it is the excruciating pain caused by physical illness; for others, a hole in the heart caused by rejection, depression, and loneliness. All of us are reminded today to stretch out our hand and allow God’s Word to heal.

God is fighting alongside us. Jesus already won for us the battle of life over death. He lives today to help us overcome life’s hurts and pain.

May your prayer and reflection about this today serve to inspire and encourage you. May God bless you and your family.
