WRONG FOUNDATIONS

The Church, Nation, Business, Home

Mt.7:26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: 27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.

• If good things are going to continue after marriage then they must begin before marriage

• The teaching must begin in youth – Eccl.12:1

• Dr. Joyce Brothers – out of 12 marriages 6 end in divorce, 4 are endurance contests, 2 are happily married
