THE MESSAGE
A fifth way we can know God through the Bible might be the most obvious. In this sense, the Bible is far more important to us than all the communication systems of the world. The Bible is nothing less than the means God has chosen to communicate His thoughts and desires to us. The people of His book and their…
THE MOOD (Emotion)
A fourth way we can know God through His book is by looking for Him in the moods of the Bible. We are emotional beings, created in the image of a God who has made us to walk with Him not only with our minds but also with our emotions. We have been created with the capacity to share God’s…

All of…

It can lead to the kind of reconciliation and acceptance that makes marriage worth it for life.

Disillusionment In Marriage
It might begin as early as the honeymoon. The suspicion, the shadow that might already have been cast on the back edge of his or her thinking or emotions. A little smudge has appeared on her halo; a little tarnish on his suit of shining armor.
She ignores it. But it keeps coming back. He’s not the gentleman she thought he…
Covenant Of Marriage
The relatives and friends are seated. The organ is playing softly while candles flicker in the background. The attendants are standing in place. The father has said, “Her mother and I.” The soloist has just finished.
The audience is silent. The minister speaks. “Please join hands and repeat after me. I, James, take you, Susan . . .”
Expectation moves into reality…
Expectations In Marriage
So what’s in it for me?” It’s a question worth asking about marriage, and not without reason.
- To the high school girl, it’s her wedding day, a white gown, four beautiful bridesmaids, candles, flowers, and a friend-filled reception.
- To the newlyweds, it’s shared vows, intimacy, friendship, and adventure.
- To the couple married 15 years, it’s children, companionship, and building.
- To those married 35 years,…
