John MacArthur on Relationships with Unbelievers

The Relationship Danger Zone

It’s one of the first lessons about the Christian life that you learn: being friends with the world makes you an enemy of God’s. Life with Christ means living apart from the world.

John MacArthur on Singleness and Marriage

Guidelines for Singleness and Marriage

But talk and opinions don’t solve anything. To address the real problems of singleness and marriage means turning to the One who designed human relationships in the first place. In Guidelines for Singleness and Marriage, John MacArthur examines God’s

Mark Driscoll on Marriage

Trial - 1 Peter - Marriage and Women
This section of scripture is exceedingly controversial. Peter discusses the role of women in marriage and their relationship to their own husbands. This is a must see sermon for all married couples, and will help unmarried people arrange their lives in a way that will prepare them for a godly marriage.

Jesus is the only perfect man to ever live. Because most men fail to look to Him as our example, there exists 2 extremes in men:

Ask Pastor John (Piper): Marriage

"It is better to marry than to burn with passion"—What does this mean?

What should a pastor think about marrying non-believers?

READ THE BOOK that came from this conference
John Piper: "The contributors to this unique volume invite you to both celebrate sex for what God made it to be and fight what sin has turned it into.
