I Will Decide that Marriage is for Life
From Series: "Decide! (Hillside Theme - 2024)"
The word for Hillside in 2024 is "Decide." Will we choose to follow God, or will we choose to serve ourselves?

A message from the series “Toolbox for Evangelism.” Evangelism becomes a lot easier once we realize the need for evangelism in the first place.
But we already see the need, don’t we? God tells us to do it and we do it — simple as that, right?
It should be, but the need for evangelism has its roots in a proper understanding of grace and mercy. Once we realize the gift that’s been given to us, it should be natural for us to extend it to others.
To put it simply, maybe the reason we don’t evangelize as we should is because we fail to see our own need for salvation — and in turn, fail to see the need of others.

CloseThe word of the year for Hillside is "Decide," and few things are more necessary for us to decide on than that marriage is for life. A lot of people have an "emotionally-based" relationship, where how they "feel" about things dictates how that relationship will go. I have absolutely nothing against emotion in a marriage (it should definitely be there), but I don't think it should be the sole driving determinant in a marriage either. Why? Because when our emotions change, we'll look for something that gives us that same *spark* we once had. Which is a recipe for disaster. When we decide that marriage is for life, however, a few things change. For the better.
