Happy Valentine Day! Today, we enjoyed a nice breakfast in honor of the upcoming addition to the family of Natalie and Kyle Halbert. Thanks to everyone who brought food and diapers. The diapers should give them a good start with their new little one.
We began considering the next topic in The Truth Project this morning. That topic is sociology. Dr. Tackett starts the discussion by consideirng the intricate design and function of a normal chicken egg and the manner in which the properties of the chicken egg and other systems of nature also reflect the properties of the social institutions that God established. Dr. Tackett made us think of the Trinity as described in the Scripture. The Trinity, as we know, represents God the Father, God the Son, and God, the Holy Spirit. In nature, the chicken egg is comprised of the shell, the yolk, and the egg white (albumen). In physical science, there are three states, gas, solid, and liquid. In the family, the first social structure instituted by God, there are also three main components, the husband, the wife, and the children. Dr. Tackettt does a beautiful job of showing us the consistency of God's plan across all areas of man's observation and understanding. The more we search, the more we observe, the more we can see an amazing consistency in the complexity of God.
As we examine the family unit and consider the fact that it was the first social unity established by God, we begin to understand why the family is under such brutal attack in today's society. Satan recognizes it as part of the basic foundation of God's creation and he is doing his best to destroy families and prevent the stability, confidence, and source of strength that comes from Godly families who seek God's leadership and protection and who transmit the fear of God and dependence upon God to the generations who come after them.
We shall see more next week about the family and its role in God's plan! I hope you will join us at 9:00 a.m. for the second half of our lesson on sociology!
The church is holding a "Game Night" in the Family Life Center on February 26. It was brought to my attention this morning that several of our group already have plans to attend this activity. This could be a great opportunity for members of our class to have an opportunity to visit and enjoy fellowship with each other. Activites are being planned for the kids and adults will have opportunities to play games and visit. I believe there is even a movie scheduled for this evening of fun. Take a look at your calendar and, if you are available, this would be a great opportunity for you to have some fun with class colleagues while the kids have a fun time as well. February 26, 2010 6:00 p.m.--10:00 p.m.
Please don't hesitate to contact me by phone or e-mail if I can help you in any way or if you need someone to pray with you or for you this week.
