The headline for the May 26, 2011, USA Today read “Fewer Couples Embrace Marriage.” The article noted that since the 2000 census, there has been a 25% spike in unmarried couples “living together.”
Co-habitation is not God’s design; commitment is! And a commitment in marriage is based on a promise, a till-death-do-us-part pledge that no matter how good or how bad, forever and always no matter what, I will make good on my promise as a husband. It takes a promise to form a covenant relationship; it takes grace to keep it going.
This morning at Northside, we’ll be focusing on “Covenant Grace.” You can watch live beginning at 10:15 a.m. (CDT) by clicking on this link.
Have a blessed day of worship, praise and reflection.
