Again, our prayer is that you have hope that God can do ''wonders'' in your family.
Ask yourself, ''What does God want of me?''
Today, I'm going to share on an aspect of marriage that is rarely preached on, or discussed in public or in private, other than in a joking or crude manner.

Because God has designed our bodies to enjoy this gift, and because Paul says that we are not to deprive each other of this gift, if sexual intimacy is not frequent in your marriage, other than at certain seasons in your lives, more than likely, something is wrong.

The pastor shouted out, ''Cross.''
Immediately the congregation started singing in unison, ''The Old Rugged Cross.''
The Pastor hollered out, ''Grace.''
The congregation began to sing, ''Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound.''
The Pastor said, ''Power.''
The congregation sang, ''There is Power in the ...
