Future of marriage

By Everald Compton - posted Monday, 20 November 2017


I hope that we can present Christianity to the world in a way that is something like the words below that are powerfully simple, not judgemental and vindictive.

  • A belief in God as a power beyond ourselves that enhances our lives.
  • A commitment to follow Jesus of Nazareth as our mentor.
  • A desire to walk with him in creating a better world.

These are three cornerstones that hugely enhance a marriage when a couple share those beliefs.

They are a commitment that binds a marriage, particularly if made together on a wedding day.

They will also bind a nation together as they will have genuine meaning to Muslims who regard Jesus as a great prophet.

In essence they are a message of goodwill and positivity.
