Short transcript
Jesus said every kingdom, city and house divided against itself shall not stand (Matthew 12:25). Pastor Kincer says “stand” is a military word: an army that isn’t united loses the war. In the home, husband and wife must stand together with the same truth and moral standards, showing their children Jesus by their lives. When they go two different ways, conflict comes, and the kids can’t wait to get out.
