Gn 2:24

Whenever someone asks us if we believe in premarital sex we respond by saying “yes and no.” It’s a confusing answer at first, but it gives us an opportunity to make an important point. God affirms our sexuality as human beings and we ­can’t suddenly become asexual. For this reason, we believe in premarital sexuality. We are quick to follow up, however, by saying that having genital sex before marriage is clearly not in line with God’s principles. 

Strong marriages don’t just develop automatically. Our hope is that you’ll discover the attitudes, the values and the habits that are needed to build a healthy and strong marriage that will last a lifetime. This 5-day plan is adapted from The Pre-Marriage Course created by Nicky and Sila Lee, authors of The Marriage Book.

Are you experiencing a wilderness season, finding no water or oasis for your soul? What if this season held the greatest hope of all: to know God’s Presence intimately, authentically, and passionately? This devotional encourages you that this time is not wasted, though some days you feel as if you are going nowhere. Because no matter what terrain you tread, God is journeying with you as Comforter, Life-giver, & Friend.

Er det noen mening med livet? Forkynneren konkluderer med at verken visdom, rikdom, filosofisk gransking, nytelser eller hardt arbeid kan lede ut av tomheten. Men han trekker ikke ateismens slutning og ikke pessimismens. Han ser Guds virksomme hånd – Gud gjør alt. Gud er ikke et emne Forkynneren gransker og stiller kritiske spørsmål til. Gud er den trygge grunnen han fester sin tro og tillit til, hans kilde til livet.
