Rediscover Love: Fresh Life for Any Marriage
How is your marriage doing? Did Valentine's Day feel a little stale this year? Starting this Tuesday, James MacDonald on Walk in the Word wants to show you that the Bible is not a stuffy, old history book; it's a book of passion and love. Strengthen your marriage by listening what God says love really is from Song of Solomon
in his new series: Making Love.
On Tuesday, James encourages you to read the Bible less like a book of static events and realize that the Bible involves people like you and me full of feelings and emotions. Rediscover the passion in the lives of two Old Testament lovers.
On Wednesday, learn how God defines love. This is extremely important if we are to understand love in the Bible and how to love others. You'll also learn how God's definition of love differs from the world's.
Then on Thursday and Friday, listen as James teaches how love must be exclusive and expressive. In order for your love to flourish and last, you'll need to be sure that it includes both of these traits.
