    Study #2: When we look around us, it seems that more and more people are leaving the church. Why? This passage of Scripture explains the reason why, and alerts us to a trend that will occur just before the Rapture.

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Sep 13, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,791 views

    Marriage is God’s idea and the directive for a happy marriage is given by God Himself. When we honor marriage and treat our spouse the way God wants us to, our homes will be blessed and our families will be a blessing to many.

    We read in Matthew 22:2, “The kingdom of heaven is like to a certain king, who made a marriage for his son..”(Webster) Have you ever wondered why the kingdom of heaven is likened to the marriage of a king’s son? Often we consider marriage to be a normal part of our lives, but fail to realize that ...read more
