To: Blue Collar Christian

It is unfortunate that so few get that. I didn’t get it for many, many years. Love is a verb. It is an action. 1 Corinthians 13 makes that perfectly clear. The reason the divorce rate is just as high among Christians as secular folks is because we are hearers of the word only. The fact that we, and society, only benefits when we actually DO the Word often goes right over Christians’ halos. ;)

Perhaps the problems with Christian marriages is found in this, which interestingly I just posted yesterday.
