Dear BPCWA worshipper, What makes a happy marriage must be something that interests every Christian. Even those called into singlehood must know how to respond so they do not unwittingly promote the world’s ideas, often imbibed through the media and those around us, concerning marriage.

It is not the intent of this pastoral to argue for or against these. However, the great concern is how the trend can spawn an anti-authority and rebellious mindset which Christians must guard themselves against. We saw in our recent sermons on 1 Samuel
