Marriage is blessed because God's word blesses marriage. He is all about covenants and keeping them. I'm thankful that today we're in the covenant of grace. A good marriage is a slap in the devil's face. I doubt he has another cheek to turn. Just saying
A Call to Battle
And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work: II Cor. 9:8. I want to do and say things that are Spirit led, to walk in the Spirit. I know what the Lord has done.
