Consequently it strengthens and revitalizes community life in the parish. Module No. God's Love 2. Who is Jesus Christ? What it means to be a Christian. Repentance and Faith. The Christian Ideal: Loving God 6. Loving Your Neighbor 7. The Christian Family 8. Life in the Holy Spirit. Receiving the Power of the Holy Spirit Growing in the Spirit The family is intended by God to be the basic unit of society, and as such, it is to be a place for teaching and training children and also the place for training leaders.
But God's plan for our families is not happening, because God has lost His central place in the family, because the family itself is losing its importance, because of the fast life, and finally because the family is under attack by evil forces.
The talk ends with practical advice on what can be done to build up a strong Christian family. Finally, after learning what this new life that we are called to really means—love of God, love of neighbor, building a Christian family—we look at the one ingredient that makes it all possible. And that is the power from above which enables us to live a life in the Holy Spirit. True Christian living is not just a matter of human will power but a new heart, a new life from God.
The Holy Spirit enables us to experience God, a living relationship with Him and His action in our lives. With the Holy Spirit, men again experience union with God and gain a new nature, spiritual power and power to serve. Living a Spirit-filled Christian life involves receiving the power of the Holy Spirit. This is essentially a prayer session where the participants are prayed with for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit in their lives. Some would term it the baptism in the Holy Spirit.
Then, recognizing that the baptism in the Holy Spirit is only a beginning, there is a need to learn more about how to grow in the life of the Spirit. Thus the participants are taught the basic means for growing in the Spirit.
And the four basic tools for growth are prayer, study, service and fellowship. Fellowship refers to almost everything that Christians do together as a body. It is the concretization of the spiritual reality that we belong to the same family. We do not become complete Christians by ourselves.
And here we come to the need for coming together with other committed Christian families for mutual support and encouragement. Here is presented CFC's life and mission. It gives the history of CFC, its statements of Mission and Philosophy, and a description of how support for Christian family life is carried out. An invitation to consider and pray about joining CFC is issued. Finally, the last session wraps up the whole CLP which has started the process of transformation in Christ.
The participants are encouraged to persevere and live out actively the new life in the power of the Holy Spirit. And though the CLP has come to an end, the new life is just beginning. In order to grow, much more is needed. There is a need to learn more about the Christian life. There is a need for the strength and support of others.
There is a need for a situation in which the couples can learn how to serve the Lord. Thus the couples are invited to join Couples for Christ.
