Marriage: Duel or Duet
Adrian Rogers
James 1:19; 3:5-8
Jesus said, "if any man thirst let him come unto me and Drink." and the only people who go away unsatisfied with, from That living water are those who are filled with the stagnate water Of self-love. But if you'll seek the lord Jesus, today, if you don't know him, listen to me, if you'll seek him today, you can find him. Take God's word and open, please, to the book of James, Chapter one, and in just a moment we're going to read a formula That will change your marriage from a "duel" to a "duet." one Verse, just one verse out of the word of God, properly understood, I guarantee you, will transform a marriage.

"Tune in" (be swift to Hear), "tone down" (be slow to speak), "sweeten up" (be slow to Wrath). Now, I want us to think about these things in some detail. First of all, he tells us that we are to "tune in." and he's Talking there about the awesome power of the listening ear. You Know the bible says in proverbs chapter 18 and ver ...
