Just as your family is to you...so you are to God.  A strong family endures.  But if a family becomes weak and dysfunctional, it breaks down and everyone suffers.  As the world turns away from the Father, it too begins to break down and suffer.  Our Father has offered us the world and wants nothing more than to keep His family strong.  Receive his Word, believe in Him, and join the family.

John 1:12 But to all who have received him - those who believe in his name - he has given the right to become God's children.

John 11:40 Jesus responded, "Didn't I tell you that if you believe, you would see the glory of God?"
