Marriage Is Not Mainly About Prospering Economically; It Is Mainly About Displaying The Covenant-keepin G Love Between Christ And His Church. Knowing Christ Is More Important Than Making A Living. Treasuring Christ Is More Important Than Bearing Children. Being United To Christ By Faith Is A Greater Source Of Marital Success Than Perfect Sex And Double-income Prosperity.

A Christian Is Not A Person Who Believes In His Head The Teachings Of The Bible. Satan Believes In His Head The Teachings Of The Bible! A Christian Is A Person Who Has Died With Christ, Whose Stiff Neck Has Been Broken, Whose Brazen Forehead Has Been Shattered, Whose Stony Heart Has Been Crushed, Whose Pride Has Been Slain, And Whose Life Is Now Mastered By Jesus Christ.
