Surviving the Storms of Family Life (2 of 4)
MARRIAGE AND FAMILY SURVIVOR
Dr. Stan Coffey
Matthew 7:24-27
On the show SURVIVOR, there are many things that you have to do well to be the one who wins a million dollars at the end. It's a test to see who has the skills and the ability to work with others and to do difficult things, and that person is the survivor.

That's why many people may be in church, many people may even go to church with their family, and they still experience a storm that destroys that house, that marriage, that family. Why? Because it's not just those who study what He says, not just those who learned the principles, not just those who can quote the scripture, but those who DO ...
