Family is considered as a domestic church where good values are taught and learned. The priest is the father who will teach and preach the word of God to the family. He guides and leads the family in terms of spiritual aspect. Like for instance, he leads the prayer. The assistant priest is the mother who will assist and cooperate the work of her husband. She gives light to them by teaching what is good or bad. While the parishioners are the children or other members of the family who obey their priest and assistant priest. Each member of the family has part or obligation to perform in order to live peacefully and happily. Indeed, family is a gift to society and a treasure to all mankind.

God himself promotes pro-family because aside that He is the one who initiated it, He emphasized also the importance of the family: father, mother and children. That's why the church keeps on promoting pro-life and yet protecting the family. But Satan is always trying to destroy what is God's plan. It is the work of the devil that ruins life, family and even the future of young people. Nowadays or even before, many families were destroyed by the irresponsible fathers who left their wives and children and got married again due to their some vices. The families were broken by the immatured mothers who can afford to kill their babies inside the womb that would lead them to miserable lives. Let's protect our family. Once it is damaged, it is not the father nor the mother who is affected but the children who suffered most.

While God tried to protect the family, there are also lot of people want to destroy it. It was proven to what is happening now in our society or country the what so called "Culture of DEATH" (Divorce, Euthanasia, Abortion, Total Fertility Control and Homosexual Union) that we could say this as the main reason that the family is gradually destroyed or broken. This culture of DEATH is already accepted and yet became legal to other countries. We, Filipinos are family-oriented people but if this culture will be adapted to all the law makers and make it as law, what kind of family do we have in our society?

Culture of D.E.A.T.H

Yes, there is a separation between church and a state. But it doesn't mean that the church will have no concern anymore to the state. In fact, the people on the government belong to the church which Jesus built.

Divorce

Divorce is a separation of husband and wife. But that's not the will of God. That's why here in the Philippines, since we are christian country, divorce is still not a law and never be a law because it is God who will become our enemy.

Euthanasia

It is also known as mercy killing given to a hopelessly sick. It is God who has the right to take away our lives. It is against to the will of God when we kill people even the dying patient.

Abortion

Life is a special gift to us. It's a mortal sin to abort life inside the womb. Let's give him (baby) a chance to live for we don't know the God's plan for that baby in his existence.

Total Fertility Control

Control s3x and not the birth. It is not true that the world is now overpopulated. Let's believe and trust to God. His command for us is to go to the world and multiply. Birth control is not the solution to poverty. The government promotes birth control that's why they allowed the couple to take any medicine like pills. The church did not instruct to do that. Again, it is not the will of God.

Homosexual Union

In the beginning, it is man and woman who were created by God. With these two people, they can bear a child. But the church doesn't condemn the third sex. According to Pope Francis, who am I to judge them? The important there is they are still accepted to the community but not to the point that they will be accepted and be united and be married inside the church.

Writer's Note

Let's reflect to God's plan for us. He wants us to live morally. He wants us not to be disconnected by Him through commiting sins. God loves us so much really.

If we are in favor of the culture of DEATH, let's recall the basic teachings of God, a God of life and not a God of death.
