Our marriage is like a house. Sometimes the tough times come,
the disagreements, the arguments, the fighting - sometimes there are FIRES out of
control . But we live in a time when couples just walk out of their houses
and let them burn down: DIVORCE. If it's really
hot, we might jump out the window and run, that's ABANDONMENT. Then families look like this:
But, in a covenant marriage,
we do not give up on the house, we act as if it has no doors or windows. When
the fire starts, we turn to Jesus. He will put the fire out, with His healing love, with the water of His word, with the life
that comes from God above. When we have a God-centered marriage, we learn to
apply the principles of His word to our problems in order to get the victory He designed for marriage.
Many of us do not know
how to apply His word to our marriages in everyday life. The Promise Bible Study
creates a safe environment in which couples can study God's Word, share experiences, pray for one another and form life-long
friendships.
We have spent many long
hours pouring over scripture, praying, and mentoring couples who were in trouble. We
see that the only sure way to have a marriage that reflects the unconditional love of Christ is to learn to walk in His ways
while we live in this world. Not just coping, living victoriously, because "Greater is He who is in me
than he who is in this world." 1 John 4:4
We are living testimony
that it can be done! Our Testimony
