Congratulations on reading through the Bible in
2010. In 2011 the bulletin will again list daily
Bible readings but this year the readings will be in
chronological order. This will mean jumping about a
bit but the readings will be in “real time” as they
occurred from creation to the end of Revelation.

Goodbye to the Smiths
It is with great sadness that we say goodbye to Jesse
and Nina Smith. Jesse is being deployed to Lakeland,
FL where he will serve in the recruitment office there.
They have been in Florida this past week looking for a
house. They will be missed---for their faithfulness to
the church and their friendship to this congregation.
It may be that they will not make it back for one more
service with us but the bulletin will post their address
as soon as possible.
May the coming year bring good health and happiness to
all those we love.
What Make’s Marriage Successful?
More than likely most people will enter into marriage
without serious thought. They certainly may not think about
how important it is to take time and thought about making a
marriage successful. The continuing high divorce rate and
many now, simply living together suggests lack of this
serious thought.
God is the creator of man and woman (Genesis 2) and
describes to each and everyone of us that His authority is
above all others. When we read the scriptures we read of God
being the author of marriage (Genesis 2 and 3). Since God
knows man and woman and is the author of marriage, He
certainly has the right to tell us how to have a successful
marriage. From the Genesis account we learn that Eve was to 
be a help meet, and Adam was to leave his mother and father 
and "cleave to his wife," Adam was also to provide for his 
family, and Eve was to be subjection to Adam (Genesis 2:18,
24, 3:17-19, 16). In the New Testament we are given more
scriptures telling us about marriage (Ephesians 5: 22-6:4).
Marriage, as ordained by God, is supposed to be
monogamous and permanent. (Matthew 19:4-10).
So what would be a very important thing to understand
to make marriage work? There must be a denial of
selfishness. The "love" of Ephesians 5:25, 28, 33 is an
unselfish love. This love actually has as its action in the
seeking of what is best for another. 1 Corinthians 7:3-5
contains teaching which is illustrative of selfishness in the
marriage relationship.
Brethren, the ideal marriage is a marriage which is
based on strong spiritual conviction and a spiritual
foundation (1 Peter 3:7; Matthew 7: 24-28). Marriage is so
much easier and enjoyable when both have the same spiritual
beliefs, goals, and values.
Marriage is a beautiful way of life inspired by God. It
is in this union that man and woman find their ultimate
social, emotional, and biological fulfillment. Marriage, as
established and ordained by God, is desirable and successful.
