Life in Ministry, Marriage

Marriage for the Long Run

We had the privilege of having our beloved former pastor and professor, Dr. John Street, and his wife, Janie, come out to teach at our church’s second annual Marriage Conference.  Jason and I were incredibly blessed by their lives, their family, and their ministry during our time at college, and at Grace Community Church.  And, we pray that were so excited to have them share their wisdom and experience with our current church family, here at Way of Grace…

“A Christian marriage is not determined by where you worship, but Who you worship.”
~Dr. John Street

Multi-Generational Thinking about Marriage:

“The next generation is encouraged to endure when your marriage is a shining example of the grace of Christ…What type of example is your marriage setting for younger couples (or singles) looking toward marriage?”

.

.

“Our culture will tell you that feelings are the most important indicator for decision-making.  But, God’s Word calls living by feelings sensuality (Gal. 5:19-21).  Living by your feelings is living for yourself, not for God and others.” ~Janie Street

.

“When your marriage is ruled by you, a fool is in charge.”
~Dr. John Street

.

.

 “In the end, will your marriage be a trophy to self-righteousness, or to God’s grace?”
~Dr. John Street
