The Art of Marriage

Good morning FBC Family,

As many of you have undoubtedly heard, FamilyLife's "Art of Marriage" is coming to Friendship Bible Church in just over two weeks. Marjie and I are hosting the event but truly, it's a video-driven event that even we will be a part of and anxious to see what we can learn to better strengthen our marriage and move towards "oneness."

Regardless of where you are this very moment in your life, marriage, or engagement, let me encourage you to pray about attending this event. In America especially, the Biblical definition of marriage is under attack and what we are called to do and be as husbands, wives, and parents. This much is for sure: Christ created the very institute of marriage, our physical bodies, our emotions, and He died on the cross because of how the original "perfect" marriage was destroyed by sin. That sacrifice represents so much and is the perfect model of how we are to love each other in marriage...sacrificially. Can you say that if Christ in Heaven above were to look at His nail-scarred hands then look down at you and yours, that He would point and say: "That's why I died." It's true. True forgiveness 2000 years ago and the model example of sacrificial love for our marriages.

Please consider joining us and other couples at The Art of Marriage. If cost is any issue, please just say so as scholarships are available. Don't hesitate another moment!
