00:32 Welcome to Marriage Heart to Heart
00:35 We are Tom & Alane Waters with Restoration International 00:39 And today we're gonna discussing how to build a Sure Foundation. 00:43 So we hope you have a pencil and paper to take some notes 00:45 as we talk about this topic today. 00:48 It does make a difference, doesn't it? 00:49 To have a pen and paper! 00:51 It does! I remember so much more when I write things down. 00:53 Even if I never look at the list again! 00:55 That's right! 00:56 - It just sinks it in better. - Sinks it into the mind. 01:00 You know, Christ is our Creator. 01:04 He created life in us. 01:06 And He's the One Who gave us the marriage relation. 01:08 He's the One that started it all, back then. 01:12 Christ is also the Author 01:14 of the Word of God! 01:16 The Scriptures 01:18 and Christ is the Word that was made flesh. 01:22 And He was made flesh for us! 01:24 He came here to demonstrate how to live 01:28 a life that He wants us to live. 01:31 Not only is He made flesh but when He was made flesh He 01:34 became our Redeemer! 01:37 And we need Him as a personal Savior don't we dear? 01:39 Every day! 01:40 That's what's made the difference 01:42 in our real Christian life, not our professed Christian life. 01:46 But Christ has made that difference and He's continuing 01:49 to make that difference. 01:50 And we need Him as our personal Guide through His Word. 01:54 So, if we look at the Word that was made flesh, 01:58 the Holy Word, the Word of God 02:02 we need to take that from the table, 02:04 or take that from the paper, 02:06 and it needs to become a part of us. 02:09 To become a practical part of our daily lives. 02:12 And that is where we find our Sure Foundation. 02:15 We struggled. 02:16 Especially in the early part of our marriage, 02:18 because we knew a lot about this 02:21 but it was not our Sure Foundation, 02:24 in the way we really lived our lives. 02:26 That's right! It was just whatever I thought 02:29 or what I remembered or how I was raised 02:31 and the same with you. - Yes! 02:32 And because we came from such very backgrounds 02:35 and different talents and strengths and weaknesses 02:38 it was important that we established 02:40 where our foundation was in our home. 02:43 And when people don't have a foundation to their marriage 02:48 their marriage isn't gonna stand in this time that we live! 02:51 I mean is gonna hit difficulties and trials and is gonna crumble. 02:56 And that's what's happening all around us! 02:58 So, is it enough? 03:00 You know, we read in our Sure Foundation, 03:04 that we need to not be unequally yoked together. 03:07 Ok? That's a principle. 03:09 So, 03:11 many people think that that, well, 03:13 we need to be the same religion, 03:15 you know, we need to have the same basic, 03:19 you know, church believes. 03:21 Is that enough? Is that a Sure Foundation? 03:24 It's not The Foundation! No! 03:26 It's important and even if we don't have that, if that 03:31 isn't in the relationship, 03:32 there's still principles from the Bible, 03:34 if one is a Christian and one isn't. 03:36 That the person who is can build that because 03:38 everything in God's Word is only gonna make our marriages better! 03:43 So if we have a believer and an unbeliever, 03:46 a Christian and a No Christian in a marriage union, 03:49 that Christian can still build of the Word of God 03:52 as their foundation. 03:53 That's right! 03:54 And they can change or they can strengthen their marriage 03:57 by having that! 03:59 Isn't it true also that even if we're talking to 04:03 a No Christian couple 04:05 that they're still benefiting 04:07 even if they haven't even open God's Word! 04:10 They're benefiting from the Sure Foundation. 04:12 That's right! 04:14 'Cause everything comes from God! 04:15 That's right! 04:16 So, I wanna go back to our early experience again. 04:22 Because we were Bible believing, professing Christians. 04:27 Went to the same church, - Yes 04:28 participated in the same activities, helped to lead out 04:31 in some of the same departments - That's right! 04:33 And yet, it wasn't enough! 04:36 We still, were not living our day to day life, 04:40 by every word that proceeds from the Mouth of God. 04:43 Jesus said: "Men shall not live on bread alone 04:45 but by every word that proceeds from the Mouth of God!" 04:49 So, is it fair to say that it was a part of our lives but 04:52 it wasn't the foundation of our lives. 04:53 Yes! It was definitely a part of our lives! 04:57 But it was not a practical part of our lives. 04:59 And that's what becomes foundational. 05:02 And so, we knew a lot of things, 05:04 we could talk about a lot of things, 05:06 we could even share things. 05:08 And I think this is something that maybe 05:10 some of our viewers have experienced. 05:12 It's not enough to even know the Word of God! 05:16 We can know the Word of God, we can talk about it 05:19 one day a week, 05:20 we can 05:22 memorize the Word of God, but if it is not our Sure Foundation 05:27 if it is not guiding us in real life, 05:30 that's what we need to think about! Because 05:32 What we started to see as our eyes were opened 05:35 is that we weren't living 05:37 yet we knew a lot of this, 05:39 we believed in it, we even given Bible studies 05:42 but it was not really governing our lives as you said, as the 05:47 foundation of our lives! 05:49 So the how we related to each other 05:52 was not based of what we knew was right! 05:54 It was based of how we felt at the moment. 05:56 Yes! 05:57 And that's why there was problems. 05:59 That's right! Because knowing God's Word is not the same 06:04 as knowing God's Word as it is 06:06 when we're surrendered to Jesus Christ! 06:07 And experiencing the Word of God working in our lives 06:11 in a very powerful way! - Yes! 06:13 And you've heard us mention James 1:19. 06:18 It's a very good marriage text! 06:21 But it's also a very practical illustration for me, 06:24 when I came into our marriage! 06:27 I knew this verse: "let every man be swift to hear, 06:31 and slow to speak, 06:33 and slow to wrath" 06:34 And I use this illustration, I use this text because 06:37 that came right out of our Sure Foundation, the Word of God! 06:43 But it was not in my heart as a practical reality 06:47 of how I lived daily life. 06:50 If you could've been around me at the time that 06:53 I married my dear wife 06:55 you would've seen very quickly that James 1:19 had 06:58 no practical relevance to my Christian experience! 07:02 Now, I wasn't a bad person! I wasn't 07:04 you know, getting in to all kinds of problems 07:07 and everything. I was just like one of the good old boys. 07:10 Like most of the people that we went to church with. 07:13 - Isn't that right? - Yes! 07:14 - Like most people! - Just like most people! 07:18 James 1:19 did not have real significance as a foundation 07:24 in our marriage! Did it? 07:26 No1 For neither one of us! 07:27 I mean we knew it but we didn't experience it! 07:29 And we use this illustration because this is vital! 07:34 The difference in our lives 07:36 since we've come to make God's Word practical 07:40 has not just been a difference as a Christian. 07:43 It's made The Difference 07:45 in our marriage! - It has! It's given us 07:47 common ground to start with. 07:50 And the foundation, like I said that when things come up 07:54 that would shake, they don't shake! 07:56 Because we go back to the Word of God, we find there 07:59 the foundation of how we resolve conflict, how we 08:03 we work with difficulties or trials, 08:06 how we raise our children. 08:07 - That's right! - It's all there! 08:08 Well, I wanna take that verse James 1:19, 08:11 I wanna take it little farther. 08:13 I wanna get something more out of this because 08:16 I know what God began to show me 08:19 I wasnt swift to hear! In fact I was just the opposite. 08:23 And I think many of you know exactly what I'm talking about. 08:27 In real life regard of the fact that I had the Word of God 08:31 and I knew what the Word of God said 08:33 I didn't have a vital connection to the power of Jesus Christ. 08:38 A life changing gospel therefore I was not swift to hear. 08:44 I was swift to speak! 08:48 Just ask my wife! 08:49 I was swift to say whatever came out of my thoughts! 08:53 And I was slow to hear! 08:57 Right? 08:58 Sometimes that was true. 09:00 And instead of being slow to wrath, which we could say, 09:05 slow to irritation, slow to get upset, 09:08 I was very quick. 09:10 So, how can this be? 09:12 How can we say that we believe in the Word of God? 09:17 And that this is our Sure Foundation, which I believe that 09:21 most, I hope that most of our viewing audience 09:24 would say that the Word of God 09:26 is the foundation of the Christian life. 09:28 Even if you are watching today and you're not involved in 09:32 the Word of God, you would say: That's the basis of Christianity 09:36 and the basis of a true marriage. " 09:40 So, why is it? 09:42 that we can have all this Word and it doesn't 09:45 become a practical part of our daily life? 09:48 Where does that leave us? 09:49 Well it leaves us to failure. 09:51 That's right! 09:52 That's the only place that can leave us. 09:54 Because I'm gonna respond in my first thought. 09:58 The "me focus". 09:59 And you're gonna respond in your first thought, the "me focus" 10:03 and therefore we don't treat each other the way we should. 10:07 You know, even the Golden Rule: 10:08 "Do unto others what you would have them do unto you!" 10:11 I mean that's very simple to understand, many children 10:14 have it memorized, we've known it for years! 10:16 That's right! 10:17 But certainly didn't understand how that operated 10:20 in our marriage until we brought this in to reality 10:24 in our home. 10:25 - So, - And that made the difference! 10:27 Then is safe to say that what we're trying to discuss today is 10:31 making this Sure Foundation 10:33 a reality! 10:35 Make it real! Absolutely! 10:36 And in order to make that! This is the Word that became flesh. 10:41 This Word was embodied in Jesus Christ! 10:46 And in order for us to be successful 10:48 if we say that we believe in the Bible as Christians 10:51 and It's going to be our Sure Foundation 10:53 then what we're encouraging you today to consider 10:56 maybe in a new way is 10:58 that it's not enough 11:00 to profess Christianity! It's not enough to say: 11:03 "I believe in God's Word!" 11:05 It's not enough to say: "I'm a Christian!" 11:07 Because a Christian is 11:10 Christ like. 11:11 That's where the name comes from. 11:13 And so, we need to pray that God will help us move. 11:16 And that's what we did: to move from the theoretical 11:20 to the practical. 11:21 To make it real in our lives! 11:23 And so, this may sound very simplistic to you out there 11:26 but what we began to do and the first thing we did is we 11:30 started to surrender ourselves to Christ in a new way. 11:33 That means: when I'm surrendering to Christ 11:35 I'm surrendering to the Word that was made flesh. 11:38 Now I'm gonna surrender to His Word that's here in the Bible. 11:42 And I'm gonna surrender my will to do His will as revealed 11:46 in His Word. And we started praying together. 11:50 We started praying together that we would begin to 11:53 live out the principles of God's Word in real life. 11:57 Not just to say that 11:59 I believe I should be "swift to hear and slow to speak" 12:02 And it started revolutionizing our marriage. 12:05 It did! It started changing everything about us! 12:08 Because it brought me and it brought you to the realization 12:12 that we're gonna start treating each other the way 12:14 we know we should be treating each other. 12:15 Amen! 12:16 And that made a huge difference! 12:18 It wasn't even like New Light! 12:19 No not at all! 12:20 It was just like: do what we know was right to do! 12:23 And so, we made that commitment together, 12:26 when we prayed we made that commitment. 12:29 That we're gonna let God's Word truly be: 12:31 "a lamp to our feet and a light to our path!" 12:33 as it David expresses in Psalms. 12:35 That's right! 12:36 And that changed the whole direction. 12:39 It gave us a difference in how we started communicating. 12:42 You started listening more. 12:44 And I started listening also. 12:47 It changed on how we 12:50 raised our children. 12:51 Absolutely! 12:52 You know "train up a child in the way he should go" 12:55 and "teach your children to obey you!" 12:57 These were things that we knew intellectually. 13:00 We knew were good, but it wasn't happening. 13:03 An when those things aren't happening in the home 13:05 that develops those areas for conflict. 13:08 Yes! And I think where we found discouragement sometimes 13:12 and I think some of you listening today, is that we can 13:15 know these things and we can know that Jesus, 13:18 said: "If you know these things happy are ye if you do them!" 13:22 The difficulty is, 13:23 and we experienced this, 13:25 when we see what's right to do, 13:27 are we gonna do it in our own strength? 13:29 Are we gonna try to do this, 'cause now I got to do it right! 13:35 And we found that we cannot, we don't have the strength! 13:39 Our will power is not the power to overcome sin! 13:44 That's right! 13:45 Our will power is choice power! Is the power God gives us 13:49 that we can make a choice to connect our weakness 13:52 with the enduring strength of Jesus Christ! 13:54 And that's what started changing us! 13:56 Not pulling ourselves up by our bootstraps, 13:58 or gritting our teeth. - Or trying hard! 14:00 Trying harder! 14:01 It was really allowing ourselves not only to find 14:05 the Word of God but to find the Power of God 14:07 to live those principles! 14:09 And we've experienced the happiest days of our lives, 14:12 as a result! 14:15 Yet, every time we just you know we find an area that we don't 14:18 see eye to eye on, 14:20 or we don't understand 14:21 we start searching the Word of God to find the answers. 14:24 - That's right! - And that's where you will find 14:26 many of your challenges resolved in the Word of God! 14:31 Because there God has a solutions for every problem! 14:34 This is something we've said to one another and we believed it 14:37 and we have found it to be true 14:39 and you can find that same thing too. 14:41 That's right! 14:42 You know, the society that we live in today, 14:46 one of the reasons that we find the immorality 14:51 and the crime and all the things that we know are out there 14:57 is because we've left 15:01 the Sure Foundation. 15:03 We've gone to shaky ground. 15:05 We aren't finding the lamp unto our feet 15:10 and the light into our path. 15:11 And therefore the path gets dark. 15:13 And that's why we can live in the society today, 15:16 that is accepting 15:21 things like 15:23 same sex marriages. 15:25 There's no way that that would've been acceptable 15:28 even twenty years ago, 15:30 in the public eye. 15:32 Because much of society has moved away from the sure guide, 15:37 the Sure Foundation. 15:39 And so the foundation of our society is crumbling. 15:43 And the foundation of many homes is. 15:45 - That's right! - We can't change 15:46 our society, we can only allow God to change us. 15:49 And family by family, couple by couple we can change the way 15:54 our communities operate, we can change 15:56 the society in which we live 15:57 if we're willing to put ourselves back on the Sure Word, 16:01 the foundation that is gonna be strong an bring us through. 16:05 - And so, - That's right! 16:06 having made that commitment 16:07 we've addressed every area in our lives as husband and wife 16:11 as parents, 16:13 and as individuals, in our friendships, 16:16 in relationship with other people, in our work ethics 16:19 in every area, we have brought the Scriptures, 16:23 the Word of God to be the test for our life 16:26 for how we respond, - That's right! 16:27 our decisions. 16:29 Well, this is exciting, 16:31 but we need to take a break right now. 16:33 So stay with us and when we come back, 16:34 we're gonna talk about how we can build on this: 16:38 God's Word, a Sure Foundation! 16:45 There are many "How to?" books available, 16:47 but there's one that's free and perfect for every couple: 16:51 how you can "Build a Better Marriage". 16:54 Bible-based, matrimonial advice is given in a lighthearted, 16:57 easy-to-read manner, 16:58 for those contemplating marriage, newlyweds, 17:01 couples in their golden years, 17:03 and everyone in-between. 17:05 Simply call or write for your free copy of this 17:07 amazing little booklet, a handy little tool 17:10 to help build a better marriage. 17:18 Welcome back! We're talking about the Sure Foundation. 17:23 God's Word, This is our Sure Foundation! 17:26 But as we were sharing a little earlier, in this program, 17:31 one of the difficulties is that 17:34 we're not in the Word like we should be! 17:38 We can say we believe in it! 17:39 But if we're not really in God's Word 17:41 if we're not taking time to really know God's Word, 17:47 we're not gonna be on a Sure Foundation. 17:49 Secondly many of us, as we said earlier, 17:52 we had quite a good knowledge of Gods Word 17:56 when we went into the marriage. 17:57 But if we're not making a practical application 18:00 of God's word, 18:01 if we're not bringing it in to the real life 18:04 if Christ not working in us, in these situations 18:08 then we're still not on a good foundation, because 18:11 just knowing God's Word, the Bible tells us 18:15 this Sure Foundation tells us that the Devils 18:19 believe and tremble, they know what God's Word says. 18:22 It's not enough! 18:24 We knew many things, 18:25 even in our marriage we knew many things 18:27 that the Bible said about it 18:29 and it was not having a practical change in our lives. 18:33 So, we've gotta not only get in to the Word of God 18:36 and begin to clean the principles 18:40 but we've got to surrender to these principles 18:42 and surrender to Christ, the Word that was made flesh. 18:45 And bring it in to our real marriage experience. 18:49 That's taking Psalm 119:105: 18:52 "Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet 18:54 and a light unto my path" 18:57 You know, we've used the Word of God as the foundation of 19:01 of all the presentations that we've had thus far 19:04 in this Marriage Heart to Heart series. 19:06 We've talked about the two should become one. 19:09 We've talked about Defining True Love, Developing Respect 19:13 and Cultivating Restraint, 19:16 Understanding our roles, 19:18 as husband and wife, 19:20 and Finding Forgiveness. 19:22 It was this Word that helped us to understand 19:25 where our problems were. 19:26 - That's right! - We couldn't even identify 19:28 where our weaknesses were, 19:30 what kept tripping us up until we started studying the Word 19:33 then we could identify: this is my weak area 19:35 - That's right! - That's my weak area. 19:36 Because we could see it exemplified, 19:38 or the Lord would bring it to us as we spent time there. 19:41 It was the revealer of truth. 19:44 And if the truth of our lives is that we're not 19:47 treating each other good, we can know it to sub degree here 19:50 but we don't understand it at the debt 19:53 that we need to do to solve the problem. 19:55 That's right! 19:56 And that's why, when we made that commitment 19:58 and we make it regularly. I mean it's not something, 20:00 every day we say: "Ok now today we're gonna make 20:02 a commitment, the Bible is our guide. " 20:04 Right! 20:05 But it's an understood commitment. 20:07 And our commitment is renewed daily 20:09 because it becomes what we study daily. 20:12 Amen! 20:13 And as we do, I've been just very challenge myself 20:16 in just the level of what the Bible has to say 20:20 about how we communicate one to another. 20:22 There's so much on communication! 20:25 And a lot of it revealed 20:26 some of our weaknesses in communication. 20:29 - Yes! It sure did! - And it showed us a better way 20:31 on how we can communicate better. 20:33 - That's right! - So in every aspect of life 20:36 the Bible has the principles that are there 20:39 that will help us to have a marriage that's heart to heart 20:42 and find the joy in being one with each other. 20:45 And being an "us" instead of two independent "me"'s 20:48 That's right! 20:49 I wanna talk about that commitment that we made. 20:52 And I wanna share how it worked practically because 20:56 if you remember, when we made that commitment 20:58 we agreed that instead of getting into some of those... 21:03 "- I'm right!" "You're wrong!" 21:05 "I'm gonna prove it to you!" 21:07 Instead of getting into that situation 21:09 and I give you my best argument 21:12 and you give me your best argument 21:13 we made an agreement 21:15 that we would share 21:18 our perspectives and if we couldn't agree 21:21 that we would go to the Sure Foundation. 21:24 And that we would prayerfully consider it. 21:26 I remember when we made that commitment too. 21:28 That was even a little while after we began to read here, 21:32 and we've started seeing the things that 21:35 we needed in ourselves. 21:36 But when we made that commitment that 21:38 we were not gonna argue about anything from this day forward. 21:41 We're gonna go to the Word and the Foundation 21:43 and find out what it has to say about these areas that 21:46 we don't see it and that we can't agree on. 21:48 We're not talking about: "Oh, I like blue and you like red 21:51 - That's right! - so who's right?" 21:52 We're talking about areas in our marriage, 21:55 areas in our parenting, areas in our personal lives, 21:58 that we have conflict in. - That's right! 22:01 There is an answer there! And that's the commitment we made. 22:04 That's right! 22:05 And you remember the first time 22:08 it wasn't long after we made that commitment, 22:09 that we got a chance to test it. 22:11 Yes! It wasn't long at all! 22:13 And I have to say, honey, 22:15 that I was very confident that my perspective was right so I 22:18 - Oh, I know! 22:19 I know, I could see it in your eyes and hearing in your tone. 22:23 And I was just as sure that this time I was gonna be right! 22:28 I was a bit smug in it because I knew: 22:30 "Ok, we're gonna go off, 22:31 and we're gonna do what we agreed here. 22:33 We're not gonna get in a fight over this. " 22:34 And that was refreshing wasn't it? 22:36 - Yes! It was! - It was encouraging! 22:37 "We're not gonna get into this!" 22:39 But I tell you, it was 22:41 it was quite eye opening. Because 22:44 we went looking, willing to find the real answer, 22:50 the principles that we needed. 22:52 I was sure I was right! 22:53 I was convinced and I knew she thought she was right! 22:57 I probably communicated that to you! 22:59 - Oh yes! - In my enthusiasm! Right? 23:02 "Ok! I'll go look!" 23:03 And you know, how Gracious the Lord is1 23:06 Because we were both wrong! 23:10 Isn't it incredible? 23:11 That we both been raised, you know, in Christian homes, 23:15 and we have much to be thankful for that. 23:17 That's right! 23:18 But God takes us wherever we are. 23:19 So if you haven't been raised in a Christian home 23:22 you have still every opportunity, anyone else does. 23:26 But we had that blessing! - That's right! 23:28 And we both, you know, - Thought we knew! 23:31 - Thought we knew what was right! 23:33 We both thought we knew how we could prove it, 23:35 from the Word, and we both found out we were wrong! 23:39 I think that was in the Lord's mercy. 23:41 - That was our first big test! - Yes! 23:43 Because probably neither one of us 23:46 would've done as well if one of us would've been 23:49 right on that! 23:51 So the Lord was good and we came back together and 23:54 and it's such a memorable experience because 23:56 it was the first time that we tested our commitment. 23:59 And one of the other things that we should mention here, 24:02 when we made this commitment, 24:04 is that when we went to the Word of God 24:06 I was really not going to prove my point! 24:09 This is very important! A lot of times 24:11 we can go to the Word of God 24:13 to try to prove our point! - That's right! 24:15 We went to the Word of God because 24:17 we wanted to find out what God had to say. 24:19 And so, that's the way we went! Not to prove our point 24:23 That was the only "qualifier" to this commitment. 24:27 We're not going to prove my point! 24:29 I'm going to find out what the Word has to say 24:31 about this topic, 24:32 about this subject. - That's right! 24:34 And it was that, you know, 24:36 that we saw: "Oh, I was wrong! And you were wrong!" 24:39 "We're both wrong!" 24:41 We've been already married several years 24:42 and had all three of our children to found out 24:44 we had no idea what the Bible really had to say about that! 24:47 That's right! And it has been a tremendous encouragement 24:50 to our young people. 24:52 They're not young anymore but 24:53 it's been a tremendous encouragement 24:55 to them as they've grown up, 24:56 since that commitment was made. 24:58 And they've seen the importance of not just taking 25:02 things the way "I feel" 25:04 or just "My perspective" 25:06 And I think that's another blessing in 25:08 that situation that we had that day. 25:11 Because we've learned from that 25:14 that we were wrong, many times in the baggage that we carry. 25:18 And that God has the real answer in His 25:21 Sure Foundation. 25:23 And as you were sharing that about the children, 25:24 the other part that really has been a blessing in our home 25:28 has been that our young people as children, 25:31 as teenagers, now as young adults 25:33 have seen their mother and father 25:36 go to the Word of God, - That's right! 25:37 and find out how to resolve these problems. 25:41 And when we've had challenges with them, 25:43 we've done the same thing. 25:45 - That's right! - And we've sat together 25:47 in the living room, the five of us. 25:50 And we've opened the Word of God and we've said: 25:52 "Ok! What does He have to say?!" 25:54 "And what sayeth my Lord concerning 25:55 this matter?" - Exactly! 25:57 Not just what sayeth mother and father! 25:58 Right! 25:59 So, that has been a blessing, 26:00 and I think that gives our young people 26:04 not that they go in the life with all the answers 26:06 but they go into life knowing how to find 26:09 - That's right! - the answer! 26:11 Well, why don't you give them the personal challenge? 26:15 We would like to encourage you 26:18 to agree that you will establish 26:22 your home on the foundation of God's Word! 26:25 That you don't argue and debate 26:27 and have to have your way. 26:29 But that you agree that if you disagree 26:33 you're gonna go to the Word of God 26:34 and you're gonna find out what He has to say. 26:36 And resolve your challenges that way, 26:38 because that's where we find 26:41 our greatest strength! 26:43 And this will only happen 26:45 as you are willing to surrender to Christ! 26:50 Because His Word cannot be leaved in our own strength. 26:55 If we're willing to go to His Word then we need 26:57 to be willing to go to Him 26:59 for all the answers and the perplexities. 27:01 Because He is the Solution! 27:04 And we need to turn to Him right now in prayer, 27:07 as we close. 27:08 Let's pray! 27:10 Father in Heaven we thank You that we can turn to You 27:13 that we can come to Your Word as the Foundation, 27:16 the Sure Foundation. 27:19 And that we can come to Christ 27:20 and as we surrender ourselves He will be 27:24 our Living Savior! 27:27 And that He can make our marriages 27:28 Marriages that are Heart to Heart with You! 27:31 And with the one another! In Jesus name Amen! 27:34 Amen! 27:36 And we hope you'll join us for our next program! 27:39 It's gonna be great! It's on the Prayers of Love. 27:43 Prayers that will change your marriage! 28:25 Produced by Three Angels Broadcasting Network 28:28 Captioning and translations by Christian Media Services |
