Marriage -- what does God's word have to say about it? Grow closer to God through His word - VBS4ever.com In the Bible, 'marriage' is used to represent the union between God and his people.

A few years ago, we went camping in Branson with our oldest daughter, son-in-law and then 7-year-old twin granddaughters. The girls stayed with us and one night after dinner, as we were sitting by the campfire, one of them suggested we tell scary stories.

최근에 넷플릭스나 프라임에서 영화를 보셨다면, 거의 모든 문장에서 세상 말의 'f' 단어를 들어보셨을 것입니다. 옛날에는 나쁜 말들이 종종 '네 글자 단어'라고 불렸고, 드라마와 영화에서는 더러운 언어가 허용되지 않았습니다. 지금은 부패한 소통이 너무 흔해서 전 세계의 일상 언어의 일부가 되었습니다. 에베소서 4:29 "부패한 말은 네 입에서 나오지 말라. 오직 교훈에 필요한 좋은 것만이 듣는 이들에게 은혜를 베풀게 하라." 하나님께서 분명히 하신다. '말조심하라'고 하셨다. 골로새서 3장 8절 - "이제 너희도 이 모든 것을 거두라; 분노와 진노와 악의, 신성모독, 더러운 말을 입에서 내보내라." 하나님은 우리의 말씀이 주변 사람들에게 교훈적이고 격려가 되기를 원하십니다. 에베소서 4:29 - "부패한 말은 너희 입에서 나오지 말라. 그러나 교훈을 주는 데 도움이 되는 좋은 것만이 듣는 자에게 은혜를 베풀게 하라." 말은 강력하다... 우리를 정

If you've watched a movie on Netflix or Prime lately, you probably heard the worldly version of the "f" word in just about every sentence. In the old days, bad words were often referred to as "four-letter words" and filthy language wasn't allowed in shows and movies. Now, corrupt communication is so common that it is a part of the world's everyday language. God makes it clear we are to 'watch our tongue.' Colossians 3:8 - "But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, mali
