Kingdom promises require kingdom boldness, kingdom confidence. The Christian’s kingdom can’t be shaken.
Receiving the kingdom requires action: serving God through grace in great reverence and Godly fear in awe and trembling.

“What we believe about marriage reflects what we believe about God.”
Interesting perspective. I had never thought about marriage in this way.
I am so glad that I opened the book again and began to read. This book explores the depth, the intimacy, and the beauty of marriage from God’s perspective.
