The apostle Peter is showing these Christ-followers how to live as aliens, strangers, sojourners who are, for the time being, living on this earth.

The goal this morning is to have us look at what God has to say about marriage.
Marriage, according to Cameron Diaz, isn't meant to last a lifetime.

"Who would want to be with the same person for 80 years?" she asked during the interview.
"Have someone for five years and another person for another five years," she went on t ...
