SUNDAY SNAPSHOT (60 Day Marriage Challenge – 2)
Celebrators… Marriages Are In Trouble! No one intends for it to be that way… (But…) It Happens… It IS Happening! And one of the major reasons why I believe it is taking place at such a rapid rate today is because… Couples are thinking that the momentum created by Yesterday’s Romance will be enough to carry them into an Amazing Future! Please Get This Friends… Yesterday’s Romance might have been Great… but it was Great… YESTERDAY! I would ask every Married Couple reading this right now… What are you doing TODAY to stir up the Romance in your Marriage? And please stop with the “Well… If my spouse would do BLANK - then I would do BLANK!” mumbo jumbo! You can’t control them… you can control you… and you can make the decision to STOP Making Excuses and START Making a Difference today! Because the FACT is… Yesterday’s Romance WILL NOT Sustain Tomorrow! And Great Marriages do not happen by accident… but rather ON PURPOSE because two people are dedicated to doing whatever it takes to make it work! So… What will you commit to doing RIGHT NOW that is going to matter to your spouse in the FUTURE? One of the THINGS you can DO that will MAKE A DIFFERENCE is participating in COC’S “60 Day Marriage Challenge” which is heading into its Second Week… HAPPINESS vs. HOLINESS -- Do whatever it takes to make it!!
Sunday Snapshot… (Wk2) HAPPINESS vs. HOLINESS
WHAT IF... God Created Marriage to make us HOLY... not HAPPY?
The Original Design was for MARRIAGE to ENDURE and SURVIVE under ANY CIRCUMSTANCE!
What's the "BACK DOOR" for GETTING OUT of MARRIAGE? Jesus said that's the WRONG QUESTION! The Right Question... WHAT CAN YOU DO TO MAKE IT WORK?
HOPES vs. EXPECTATIONS... Is a Dangerous Transfer in Marriage! It moves you to a DEBT/DEBTOR Relationship! (Where No One Gets Credit!)
The WORKABILITY... The DURATION... The OUTCOME... of too many marriages is DEPENDENT on the PERFORMANCE/EXPECTATIONS of one another!
Marriages were never intended to be CONTRACTURAL... they were meant to be COVENANTAL!
The Only Way to make your Marriage Work...
DESTROY THE CONTRACT and RESTORE THE COVENANT!
See You Sunday Celebrators… (9A / 10:45A)
