The intent is to have a candid and forthright fresh look at what marriage is from a Scriptural point of view. I ask your forgiveness if it strikes accord  My hope is, that this article will be an incentive to have conversations with your spouse, as well as be an encouragement to you, as a way to strengthen the marriage relationship.

God’s Will is the Best Possible Plan.

God’s Will is the Best Possible Plan.  Ephesians 1:1-20; Colossians 2:2-10 A . The Plan: We can do many things without God (acquire wealth…start a business…get an education…etc.), but only in God’s will can we find true joy, fulfillment, faithfulness…and expect someday to hear from Him… “Well done, good and faithful servant.” That wonderful plan God has already designed for your life and mine contains the very best of Purpose, Adventure, Fulfillment, Joy, and new lessons. B . The Trust:.  Whom do you trust?  Is there a person in your life with whom you would trust your very life, if necessary?  A spouse...a parent…a sibling…a very good friend?  Think about that person.  And then realize that God loves you infinitely more than that person with whom you would trust your life!        We can trust someone who loves us perfectly…perfect love drives out all fear” 1 John 4:18.  “Then trust the Lord completely, don’t even trust yourself.  In everything you do, put

Dinosaurs and the Bible

Most of us loved reading about dinosaurs at some time in our lives. In 1993, the movie “Jurassic Park” stimulated the public interest in dinosaurs far beyond its previous level. As a result, increasing numbers of people have thought, “Since we have found all these fossils and dinosaur bones, we know dinosaurs existed. How come they are not mentioned in the Bible?” Actually, dinosaurs are mentioned in the Bible, and we will prove it by doing the following three things:  Examining the Bible’s text and the related scientific facts.  Explaining the accuracy of the Bible.  Exploring what we are taught in school and through the media. The Bible’s Text The Bible refers to many the common animals we know today. The list includes lions, wolves, bears, sheep, cattle and dogs along with various kinds of birds, rodents, reptiles, and insects. What is interesting is that this extensive list includes three animals that we no longer recognize. These three are (in the original Hebrew language) tan

The Story of Moses and the 10 Commandments Children's Version

Children's Version  The Israelites had been traveling in the desert for about 3 months (which is a little longer than regular summer holidays) when they came to Mount Sinai.  They were going to stay there for a while plus they excellent shelter from the mountain. Moses got unpacked and decided to walk up the mountain to talk to God.  Remember that this wasn't very easy for Moses, he was already over 80 years old.   God knew that Moses was coming so He spoke to Moses and told him to tell the Israelites to get ready.  Moses came down to tell the people to have a bath and to clean all their clothes.   By doing this the people were getting prepared to hear important words from God.  That is why we sometimes dress up or make sure we have clean clothes on when we go to church.  It makes us hopefully behave a little nicer and shows respect to God. On the third morning after Moses had talked to God, the Israelites where busy making their breakfast when all of a sudden there was

Science and the Holy Bible

The Bible is not a science book, yet it is scientifically accurate. We are not aware of any scientific evidence that contradicts the Bible. We have listed statements on this page that are consistent with known scientific facts. Many of them were listed in the Bible hundreds or even thousands of years before being recorded elsewhere. Many concepts and notes on this page are adapted from ideas and statements that appear in The DEFENDER’S Study Bible.[1]   Statements Consistent With Paleontology • Dinosaurs are referred to in several Bible books. The book of Job describes two dinosaurs. One is described in chapter 40 starting at verse 15, and the other in chapter 41 starting at verse 1. We think you will agree that 1½ chapters about dinosaurs is a lot—since most people do not even realize that they are mentioned in the Bible.(Actually reading the Bible would help, though.)     Statements Consistent With Astronomy • The Bible frequently refers to the great number of stars in the heave
