Let’s Be Pro-Hospital
Ron, aren't you and FamilyLife Blended condoning divorce? No. Not all stepfamilies come from divorce. It's funny, people don't accuse orphan care ministries of condoning premarital sex; they don't think celebrate recovery condones addiction; and they don't think presenting the gospel condones sin. Most churches believe you can be pro-hospital without being pro-illness, right? After all, the church is a hospital for sinners. We're calling blended families to embrace grace from this point forward.

Ron: I’m pro-hospital. Aren’t you?
Announcer: For FamilyLife Blended®, here’s Ron Deal.
Ron: Hey Ron, aren’t you and FamilyLife Blended condoning divorce? No, we’re not. Not all stepfamilies come from divorce anyway, but some do. You know, it’s funny, people don’t accuse orphan care ministries of condoning premarital sex; and they don’t think celebrate recovery condones addiction; and they don’t think presenting the gospel condones sin.
You see, most churches believe you can be pro-hospital without being pro-illness, right? After all, the church is a hospital for sinners. No, we’re not condoning divorce. We’re calling blended families to embrace grace and walk in the light from this point forward. For FamilyLife Blended I’m Ron Deal.
