Strengthening the Family – Free material

Posted by Chris Gallagher on Mar 16, 2010 in Uncategorized | 0 comments

An elderly man once told me, “If we could all save our families we would do well.” He understood the influences the world takes on families because it was taking a toll on his. One daughter was so drawn by the world she left all the teaching of her early years and proceeded to follow her own devises. His other child was in a constant battle between seeking the truth and blending into the world. He and his wife were torn themselves. It was hard for them to see their children battling the influences of the world in their spiritual lives.

His statement rings true today, “If we could save our families we would do well.”

Below are some newsletter style outlines for you to download and use. You will notice there are PDF files and Microsoft Office files. Feel free to download them all if you like. The Microsoft Office files may be edited and use for Bible classes, sermons, personal studies, etc.

I tried my best to mention and cite the resources I used in the material. If by chance I have overlooked a source, contact me and I will make the addition or change and republish the material.

As always, the material on the Preacher’s Pen website is free material. I encourage you to adapt it and use it in your work. All I ask is that if you use the material you send me a note letting me know you are using it and how it can be improved upon. You can contact me using the Contact Form above.
