This is a series of lessons on marriage that is designed for helping Christians to strengthen their marriages in Christ, as well as bring peace and reconciliation where there is sin, bitterness, division, and the threat of divorce. It is more practical than the series of sermons and deals with many issues that trouble marriages today; problems related to sin, bitterness, sexual immorality, finances, communication, submission, sacrifice, decision making, and the importance of forgiveness, reconciliation, and peace in marriage. This series is more directly related to my counseling ministry in helping Christian couples with growing in Christ together in their marriages and families. One of my greatest joys as a pastor is to provide Biblical counsel to married couples and their families, to reconcile broken marriages, to heal wounded families, to instruct and encourage Christian parents in godly and Biblical discipleship and schooling practices, to raise their kids for Christ by the nurture and admonition of the Lord, the practice of daily family worship, overcoming patterns of sin, and encouraging believers in a life of faith and love to Christ. I counsel all sorts of Christians from all over the world from many different Evangelical and Reformed denominations, including pastors and Christian leaders. And while I always speak the truth, I try to do so in love.
