A strong marriage can be a testimony to those around us. In a world where the enemy has tried to pervert God’s design for love, sex, and relationships, it’s so important for believers to showcase God’s design for those things.

493// Love, Sex, and the Bible: Intro to Song of Songs

Love, Sex, and the Bible. Yes, I did just say those three things together. I don’t know about you, but I have NEVER heard this book taught in church. But in today’s sex-obsessed culture, I think it’s so important to have a good understanding of how God designed our human relationships to work. There is alot of confusion about this book, so we are going to dive in, one chapter at a time. You don’t want to miss a single day of this series on Love, Sex, and the Bible.
