Everything we do must point people to the Lordship of Jesus
The truth of God’s Word leads people to the One who is Truth
Our goal is to deepen people’s relationship with Jesus, not make them dependent upon us
See people and situations as Jesus does, through eyes of faith
Powerhouse homes flow in the power of the Holy Spirit
After believers are born-again, there is a second, distinct experience in which the Holy Spirit empowers believers (Acts 1:8)
The power of the Holy Spirit changes the believer from within (Fruit of the Spirit) and flows out through the believer (Gifts of the Spirit)
Lasting change comes spiritually, not intellectually
Marriage is a covenant relationship
Marriage between a man and a woman reflects the covenant relationship between Jesus and the Church
Each covenant partner agrees to be faithful no matter what the other one does
Faithfulness is unconditional
The covenant is until death
Marriage between a man and a woman is the basis for God's plan for family
God intends for family to produce healthy sons and daughters in the image of their Father
All aspects of family life flow from and relate back to the marriage covenant
Addressing family issues must include developing a healthy marriage
We are to make disciples of all nations
Discipling is more than disseminating information
Discipling includes training, modeling and accountability– modeling is a transparent demonstration of process rather than perfection in the lives of the disciplers
Discipling is based in relationship
We are to produce fruit with the seed of reproducibility
We are all to bear fruit and multiply
Our role in the earth is to give to others what God gives to us
Although gifts and talents of people vary, others must be able to duplicate each model produced
Everyone who ministers in 2=1 should be making disciples at the same time
In a marriage, our individual call and destiny are blended together
Both husband and wife are equally called of God
Each spouse needs to respect, honor, and nurture the gifts and talents of the other
Couples need to be taught how to blend their gifts and talents to equip them in the synergism of a one-flesh team
We are responsible to seek out those who will disciple us in our call
Homes are points of outreach to a lost world
Marriage and family reflect God’s relationship to His Church
2=1 leaders are ordinary couples demonstrating the power of God in our homes, jobs, and lives
We are to teach couples how to reach their neighborhoods, communities, and other spheres of influence
God views families generationally
Decisions and actions of one generation affect successive ones
One generation has the power in Jesus to stop generational curses
One generation has the ability to perpetuate blessings generationally
Christians must think and plan generationally
Followers of Christ are an army
We have an objective and a mission
We need to honor spiritual authority to be in spiritual authority
We need to recognize and honor the different roles of those serving in the army
We must be dedicated to fighting until we see victory manifested
We are not individual soldiers who get to pick and choose with whom, when and where we will serve
