Christian Marriage

“…Submitting to one another in the fear of God”  Ephesians 5:21

Most of you have probably heard the stunning statistic that 50% of all marriages in America end in divorce. When we look at different statistical websites, the breakdown is even more alarming: 40% to 50% of all first marriages end in divorce, around 65% of all second marriages end in divorce, and about 75% of all third marriages end in divorce.

Chapel Talk on Chapter 20 of the Book: Out Of Necessity

Dear Friends in Christ,

Chapter 20 of the history of the CLC is entitled “The Changing Times.”

Those facts do not change, and they assure us that our sins are forgiven, and we have a place in heaven reserved for us.Read More »Chapel Talk on Chapter 20 of the Book: Out Of Necessity
