Can you imagine a pastor saying that to you? Where did we get the idea that you have to be perfect before you can come to Christ? Isn't that what he does for us? One of the key steps for stepfamilies is step up to discover a God who loves and forgives those in blended families just like he loves and forgives those in first families. Here's the deal, some stepfamilies are the result of sinful choices; others are not. But either way, Christ welcomes you to his body and promises to wash you clean.

Ron: Can you imagine a pastor saying that to you? Essentially he told this couple, “Because you’re a blended family, you are barred from coming to our church.” Where did we ever get the idea that you have to be perfect before you can come to Christ? Isn’t that what he does for us? You know one of the key steps for stepfamilies is step up to discover a God who loves and forgives those in blended families just like he loves and forgives those in first families.
You see, here’s the deal, some stepfamilies are the result of sinful choices; others are not. But either way, Christ welcomes you to his body and promises to wash you clean. For FamilyLife Blended I’m Ron Deal.
