We don't need each other anymore. But let's take an honest look at life for a moment. When you have a family where everyone has to have a job so that each person can buy, not what they actually need, but what they want or would like to have this is sinful, anti-God, selfish living. Or, when we make plans to spend time with friends or attend movies or go to sporting events without first talking with other family members to see what their needs are, this is also sinful selfishness. When you come home at night and begin to rattle off how much work you have without listening or being sensitive to the labors or burdens of other people, this also is sinful selfishness.
Selfishness is a sin.
Sin leads to consequences, and the consequences are frequently destroyed relationships where husbands don't talk to wives, wives avoid sharing information with husbands, children and teenagers live in the same house with their parents but no longer experience loving relationships with their father or mother. Nowadays, one word we hear quite often is reconciliation. Now, there is nothing whatsoever wrong with seeking secular professional counseling. However, if you are one of those who would like to first see what God says about this, let me suggest that you focus for a moment on the Bible. Oh yes, reconciliation is possible but only when we receive the power to forgive which comes from God through Jesus Christ.
