Rooted in His Word
As married couples, we often face challenges that test our commitment to each other and to our faith. In this journey, we need a solid foundation to stand on, and that foundation is God's Word.
Scripture Foundation
Psalm 119:145 declares, "I cry out for help from the mountains, from the rocky cliffs where the lambs give birth; there the morning mist burns away." The psalmist is crying out for help, and we can do the same. As we face challenges, we can turn to God's Word for guidance and strength.Main Content
