Till Death Do Us Part
January 9, 2017
It’s not people who put themselves together—it’s God Who puts them together. Mark 10:9 says, “What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.” Marriage is permanent. Marriage is “till death do us part.”
Show me two kids who consider divorce as an option, and I’ll show you two young people who have a greatly increased potential for a break-up of their marriage. You say, “Well, we got divorced because we had problems.” I have news for you. People who stay married and people who get divorced have basically the same kinds of problems. The difference is not in the problems they have; the difference is in commitment.
Just get rid of the idea of divorce. Just take your scissors and cut that word out of your dictionary. Divorce is the only game in which both players lose.

Front Porch Moments by Gayle Foster
WITH KEY INSIGHTS FROM HER FATHER, ADRIAN ROGERS
I try to unplug each morning with Jesus with just my rocking chair, my Bible, and a pen.
Having a secret place is very important because I know that Jesus is always there waiting for me. I know where I can find Him! His presence is everywhere, but there are places where it is so thick you can cut it with a knife. You may not even have a front porch, but there is a secret place for you as well. God’s invitations are for anyone who will respond. There is no more important request than the one found in Psalm 27:8: “My heart has heard You say, ‘Come and talk with Me.’ And my heart responds, ‘Lord, I am coming.’”
