1. Marriage by the Book

2. Matthew 7:24-29 The Message (MSG) with emphasis added by Jim in RED 24-25 “These words I speak to you are not incidental additions to your life, They are not homeowner improvements to your standard of living. They are foundational words, words to build a life on. If you work these words into your life, you are like a smart carpenter who built his house on solid rock. Rain poured down, the river flooded, a tornado hit The big bad Wolf huffed and puffed and Puffed and Huffed — but nothing moved that house. It was fixed to the rock. 26-27 “But if you just use my words in Bible studies and don’t work them into your life, you are like a stupid carpenter who built his house on the sandy beach. When a storm rolled in and the waves came up The big bad wolf huffed and puffed, it collapsed like a house of cards.”
