"THE ABSOLUTE NECESSITY OF BEING CONTROLLED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT!" - 7/5/20

"Help and Hope for Families"

Pittsburgh FamilyLife Affiliate Staff member, Tim Tucker, interviews Scott and Catherine Mercer, part of our Pittsburgh FamilyLife team. They discuss the absolute necessity of being 'filled' (controlled) by the Holy Spirit and not ourselves. The "fruit of the Spirit" of love, joy, peace, patience, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, and temperance to make our marriages thrive, can only come from God's Spirit within every believer in Christ. We don't have it naturally. To love one another to forgive one another as God has forgiven us, can only come when we humble ourselves before God and ask His Holy Spirit by faith to give us the power to do what we can't do in ourselves. That's the key to a happy home!
