Contributed by Michael French on Mar 18, 2008

Paul compares the Christian life to a marriage and just like a marriage men will nevery have the intimacy that they desire without communication (prayer).

This morning’s message is perhaps much more of men and prayer, but I hope that it will have impact on all of us. I want you to take some time today and consider why scripture describes our relationship with the Lord in the context of a marriage. Both men and women need to develop a longing for ...read more

Love Me Tender

Contributed by Ovidiu Radulescu on May 26, 2009

If you were to ask me what was the most important lesson I’d learned about marriage in my (ahem!) years in the married state, I’d give you my answer with no hesitation at all: love is a choice, not a feeling.

“During the marriage ceremony the two become one - on the honeymoon they discover which one.” – I quoted from guy who seems to be a deep-thinker. But I think this is rather the result of some personal frustrations, rather than a generic truth. Maybe it’s the age I’m getting to, but I’ve noticed ...read more
