of True Human Freedom

Why Family?

The Basis for Divine PresenceThe School of True LoveThe Model for True Unity

FOR EVERY EFFECT,THERE IS A CAUSE.

Am I my own first Cause; or am I a resultant Being?

How can one know…

…the invisible natureof the Creator?

Revelation:By Studying the Scriptures

“So God created man in his own image, in the image of God, created he him; male and female created he them.”

Genesis 1: 27

Universal

“…male and female created he them.” Genesis 1: 27

“Male and female he created them, and he blessed them and named them Man when they were created.” Genesis 5:2

Psalms 19:1-2

“The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they display knowledge.”

Job 12:7-9 "But now ask the beasts, And let them teach you; And the birds of the heavens, And let them tell you. Or speak to the earth, and let it teach you; And let the fish of the sea declare to you. Who among all these does not know That the hand of the LORD has done this?”

Proverbs 6:6-8“Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise: Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler, provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest.”

Matthew 6:28-30And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:

And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?

By Scientific Observation

How is the Principle of the Divine Nature of the Creator evident in all

created beings?

The Cause behind the Universe

What can we learn about the nature of God’s ideal

for the family?

Matthew 18:19-20“Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.”

To move as “one”

Can families move as “one” with God’s will at the center?

Can the Church move as one?

John 17:20-21

20Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; 21That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.

“A new commandment…That you love one another.” John 13:34-35

ἁμαρτία = “miss the mark”James 4:17 “To him that knows good and does it not, to him it is sin.”

“What do you have in your hand?”
