Tim Tucker interviews Scott and Catherine Mercer, Pittsburgh area directors of FamilyLife, discussing the absolute necessity of being filled (or 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 the 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?
Also mentioned is the importance of this fall's FamilyLIfe "Weekend To Remember" marriage getaway here in the Pittsburgh area, and how God can us it to bring couples to a oneness with God and with each other!
