Prayer for marriage – for those in business & the workplace~ April

To reaffirm:
The value of marriage, which as a binding public commitment becomes the foundation of healthy families, healthy children, and a healthy community.
That marriage is ‘the union of a man and a woman to the exclusion of all others, voluntarily entered into for life’
The quality of our nation’s marital relationships will determine the destiny of Australia. The strength of Australian families depends on the qualities of the relationships between our nation’s mothers and fathers.

The Theological Foundations of the Ministry

It is our hope this statement of the theological foundations of Marriage Australia will stimulate discussion among God’s people in Australia and around the world and that we will have the opportunity to grow together as we follow Christ and Bible-driven theology, which connects the Great Commission with the institution of the family.
This foundational statement for Marriage Australia, derived from “Theology of Family Ministry” was written by Ps Scott Turansky with several other theologians. Which is currently being used by The 4/14 Transform World Family Challenge Team [Matthew Ling, Dr. PC Matthew, Professor Ben Freudenberg, Dr. Scott Turansky & Dr. Rob Rienow] Theological Foundation #1: God’s Purpose for the Family
God created the institutions of marriage and family as the foundation for human life, society, relationships, and the faith community (Genesis 1-2). God chose to move His plan of salvation forward through covenant relationships with families (Genesis 7:1, 17:7). God designed the family to be an active and powerful evangelism and discipleship centre (Genesis 18:18-19, Deuteronomy 6:5-7, Ephesians 6:4). Through the institution of family, God brings glory to Himself by advancing His multi-generational plan to fill the earth with His worshippers (Genesis 1:28, Psalm 78, Rom. 11:36).
