THE MEANING OF MARRIAGE - Pastor Don continues his discussion on marriage in the Bible by talking about the necessity of a ceremony for all involved. While there was no legal system to process the marriage ceremony as we do today, marriage was not left to the passing whims of a man and a woman. Other people had a stake in that marriage. And God wanted a genuine, binding, official, witnessed covenant of marriage.

FROM GOD TO US: HOW WE GOT OUR BIBLE AND HOW TO GET THE MOST OUT OF IT - A careless understanding of righteousness in the New Testament will lead to the mistaken understanding that bad people go to hell and good people go to heaven.

THE MEANING OF MARRIAGE - What makes someone married? Were Adam and Eve married? If we're to model our marriages after them perhaps we should find out.

FROM GOD TO US: HOW WE GOT OUR BIBLE AND HOW TO GET THE MOST OUT OF IT - Bad people are punished in hell and good people go to heaven; that is what some consider their understanding of righteousness. God's word states that none of us are righteous and therefore a good person can go to hell.

FROM GOD TO US: HOW WE GOT OUR BIBLE AND HOW TO GET THE MOST OUT OF IT - When God speaks in love to us, the modern church has preached it always being about positive, happy feelings and that anything that is critical as being negative and not from a God of love.

In this message, Pastor Don discusses the vital parts of why embracing reproof will benefit us.

FROM GOD TO US: HOW WE GOT OUR BIBLE AND HOW TO GET THE MOST OUT OF IT - Is there anything or anyone in your life that is pulling you away from God? Christians don't often plan on spiritual rebellion, it's a symptom of the real issue: neglect of God's Word as their primary source of strength and wisdom. Pastor Don discusses how Paul instructs Timothy to remember that neglect never manifests itself immediately and God's Word needs to be at first priority in our lives.

FROM GOD TO US: HOW WE GOT OUR BIBLE AND HOW TO GET THE MOST OUT OF IT - Being good is in many ways resisting pressure and that requires strength. Being bad, on the other hand, is essentially then for the weaker, who have reached their chosen path by the least resistance and taken the easy way out. Pastor Don discusses how Paul is instructing Timothy to resist the pressures of the world by ensuring to keep good examples around him and hold on to what he has been taught in the Scriptures for strength.

FROM GOD TO US: HOW WE GOT OUR BIBLE AND HOW TO GET THE MOST OUT OF IT - Yielding to two opposing worlds, that of man and of God is double-mindedness and doesn't produce biblical change in one's life.

FROM GOD TO US: HOW WE GOT OUR BIBLE AND HOW TO GET THE MOST OUT OF IT - The Scriptures possess a permanent authority and are exempt from any mistake; that is their infallibility and inerrancy that we can hold strong to in a world of constant change.
