We should be ready and willing to tell people about our faith and to invite them to respond to Christ as we have. To this end much of 1999 will be focused on our need to know, understand and be able to express our faith. During the year 2000 we shall seek to take many opportunities to tell others about the Lord Jesus, not by seeking to answer the questions we think they should ask, but by trying to gauge what their real questions are and to address them. There will be 4 key themes during the year 2000. Marriage, family life and parenting.
Many families are in turmoil.
There are those in our society who are no longer sure of whether it is a realistic goal to make a lifelong commitment to someone else. There are those who fear unfaithfulness in their partners. There are parents who fear for their children and don't know how to offer secure and faithful love to their children. The Christian faith has much to say about faithfulness. Money, employment and security.
