Excerpt from The Bible on Divorce and Remarriage
(from page 12) Holy Matrimony versus State Marriage – Until we have a clear understanding of what constitutes marriage, we cannot understand the nature of divorce. Most people have accepted the legal (state) definition of marriage and are unaware of the biblical doctrine. The concept of obtaining a marriage license from the state is an invention of modern times.

Ahab the Mariner Mouse
I picked up a little toy boat that the children play with in the pool and shoved it over to the desperate mouse. He climbed aboard to the cheers of Penelope.
Two-Front War on Christianity
