Believers love to quote the scripture, “For with God nothing will be impossible.” (Luke 1:37 (http://biblegateway.com/bible?version=NASB&passage=Luke+1%3A37)) And most want to believe what they read in Isaiah 61:1-3 and Luke 4:18-19 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke+4%3A18-1...). Those scriptures say that Jesus came to heal the broken-hearted, set the captives free, replace sorrow with joy and bring beauty where only ugliness existed before.

Yet when it comes to the Big Four Christians seem to doubt those scriptures. They feel and act in much the same way as non-believers. What are the Big Four? They are adultery, abuse, abandonment and addictions within the institution of marriage.

Sadly, many pastors and Christian counselors encourage divorce instead of reconciliation (http://www.familyfoundations.com/2013/06/1297/). It has become a very acceptable alternative even within the church. Marriage is seen more as a contract based on performance rather than an unconditional covenant based on grace.

“But Craig,” you say, “Why should I have to live like this? You have no idea what goes on behind the closed doors of our home.” Your right, I don’t. But I will tell you this; your situation is not unique. The Bible says there is nothing new under the sun. (Eccl. 1:9)

I told you I would be opening a can of worms. But it’s one that needs to be opened for the sake of our children and future generations. So please, if you or someone you know is facing divorce, don’t give up. “For with God nothing will be impossible.”

To help, I have written a book entitled, Two Fleas and No Dog: Transform Your Marriage from Fleadom to Freedom.

Craig Hill holds a Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree from Carleton College in Russian Area Studies and Geology and a Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree from the University of Chicago.

Upon completion of his formal education, Craig worked as a corporate manager in the oil and gas exploration industry for several years. Being an experienced pilot, he later founded and managed a Learjet charter service. During these years, Craig (being fluent in the Russian language) frequently took time off from his business endeavors to minister the Gospel to the peoples of the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe. Craig met his wife, Jan, through Youth With a Mission.

Having a specific interest in ministering to marriages and families, Craig pursued an internship and later a volunteer staff position at the New Life Counseling Center in Denver. He subsequently taught counseling and missions on the faculty of the Marilyn Hickey Bible College. In 1987, the Lord raised up Craig as Senior Pastor of a local church where he and Jan served for seven and a half years, until he was called by God to devote his full-time energy to the ministry of Family Foundations International (http://www.familyfoundations.com/).

Through his past experience in missions, counseling and pastoral ministry, God has given Craig unique insight into marriage, family, financial and interpersonal relationships. This has resulted in his ability to identify for many people, root causes of relational conflict, compulsive habits, low self-esteem, workaholism, lack of financial provision and other undesirable life patterns, which are repeated from one generation to the next. By interweaving personal stories with biblical truths, God has anointed Craig to pierce through the veil of the mind to minister to the depths of the heart, resulting in real life change for many.
